being killed by a u.s. helicopter in 2007. she was convicted and sentenced to 35 years for the leak but president barack obama commuted her sentence in 2017. the same year manning was convicted whistle blower edward snowden began leaking classified government material to the media in a documentary film maker. the more you re ignored, the more you re told it s not a problem until eventually you realize these things need to be determined by the public. reporter: snowden a cia employee and nsa contractor shared documents for the national security agency about far-reaching surveillance programs. peoples lives are at risk because of data that. reporter: among other things, snowden was charged with giving defense information to someone without a security clearance and revealing classified information. he s living in exile in russia.
then make it really hard for the president in the to provide the documents that the house is looking for. earlier this week ron johnson said a state department official actually told him there was a quid pro quo with e crane. he was immediately on the defensive and began repeating a conspiracy theory the president was being sabotaged and then said this. i just want the truth. the american people want the truth. do you not trust the fbi. you don t trust the cia? no. i m confused here. absolutely not. after peter strzok and lisa page? okay. after james comey and john brendan? i don t trust any of these guys in the ocho bomb bama administr do you trust them now? no, i didn t trust them back then. he says he does not trust the fbi or the cia. that is absolutely jaw-dropping coming from a sitting u.s. senator, is it not?
it s just fine to ask the government of ukraine to investigate your political enemies. it s just fine to ask the government of china as the president said at the end of last week to investigate your enemie enemies. they are talking about adam schiff and hearsay evidence and talking about whistle-blowers coming out late. they are not talking about the substance because they don t want to talk about the substance. final thought? i agree. okay.
