Snowden Says Hillary Clinton's Bogus Statements Show a "Lack of Political Courage"

Hillary Clinton twice this week has insisted, contrary to the facts, that former NSA contractor Edward Snowden could have accomplished his goals and avoided punishment if he’d raised his concerns through the proper channels. Snowden has also maintained that he did try going through established channels, to no avail. And the official response to his leaks strongly suggests that no one in his chain of command was interested in letting his concerns reach the public. Politifact rated Clinton’s claim as “mostly false.”
