> The data Snowden took relative to his access level does not support your theory.

How do you know that? The only people who know what Snowden took are Snowden, the journalists, the NSA, and the foreign intelligence agencies who took the data from the journalists.

Nobody thinks Snowden had the intention to damage the US. He was just so stupid that he did it accidentally.



"It's impossible to know what he took, therefore your claim about what he took is baseless.

MY claim about what he took, however:"


We know at the very least that he took lists of Chinese targets and when they were compromised and gave them to the SCMP, who reported in broad terms about the content of the lists. We know he gave a list of war zone and drug trafficking targets to Greenwald because he reported them. We know he gave a list of Western European political targets to Greenwald because he reported them as well. We have no idea what Russian target lists he took.
