Snowden 8th Person Charged With Treason Under Obama, More Than Any Other Presidents Combined

Friday, June 21, 2013 18:36

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The charges against Snowden represent the eighth instance under the Obama presidency that the Espionage Act of 1917 has been used. During all previous American presidencies, the law has been used in a total of three instances to bring charges. They include:

2013, Edward Snowden, defense contractor

2012, John Kiriakou, former CIA officer and later Democratic staffer on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee

2011, Jeffrey Alexander Sterling, a former CIA agent

2010, PFC Bradley Manning, US Army

2010, Stephen Jin-Woo Kim, a contractor for the State Department and a specialist in nuclear proliferation.

2010, Shamai K. Leibowitz, a translator for the FBI

2010, Thomas Andrews Drake, an official with the National Security Agency

So we have 16 presidents in 91 years using the Espionage Act of 1917 just 3 times. Then we have Obama, who has used it now his 8th time. It was enacted in the first place to punish german spies during World War 1. I’m curious, comment below and explain to me why you think he has charged so many people with espionage and or treason. -Mort

Obama knows treason!
Sees one every time he
looks in a mirror, along with
every member of congress that
has Aided and abetted this poser-in-chief.
Wish our military would defend this country!

the most open and honest administration of all time. the most inclusive of all time. and he’s one the exact opposite. not the same house. not the same block. not the same town. promised California, and delivered the east coast.

his fundamental change he spoke of ~ nothing to do with spreading the wealth around America. he meant spreading it around the world.

if you voted for him you dug your own grave wth the Obama brand shovel they handed you.

May the poor man find the balls to understand that the malestrom of issues he’s standing in the center of are much much bigger than he is and that the cost of self centeredness is something we all should have had opportunity to learn well by now.

If our Gov had our best interests in heart then these people wouldn’t be leaking classified info.
