    Except his documents were all routed through the Intel Community Inspector General who sent them to congress calling them “urgent and credible.”

    And his lawyers are former Inspector Generals.

    You say this just because he didnt post things to wikileaks and defect to russia.

    The mans trying to make sure he doesnt go to prison.

      Do you have some sources? Every time I’ve tried to look into it, I get garbage articles and no real information.

        Because the informations are hearsays from one man that may or may not be credible.

        Basically it’s a premium “trust me bro”

        For some it’s enough, for the majority it’s just another disappointing nothingburger

          So that says nothing about the information itself but rather just goes on about credentials and employment, with a tidbit about not leaking classified information. It does not provide any justification as to why this person’s claims should be believed rather than just “he worked there”.

            It does, the IG that reviewed his case found it to be “urgent and credible” enough to be forwarded to congress.

            Again, the man can’t & shouldnt, go full snowden where he just dumps his load and defects to Russia, forsaking his or his family’s future.

            So that leaves us in the position of, hey, this guy has a record of credibility and others whove reviewed what he has say its credible and urgent.

            It is up to congress to investigate and then declassify.

      He’s also clearly operating in such a way that this doesn’t get buried. People dismissing this lack an understanding of how things work in large bureaucracies/ have a fantasy version of how they think the world should work.

      So much has come out already, but only for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear.

        Only those who are willing to connect dots that shouldn’t be connected. It’s the same old conspiracy BS we’ve heard for decades.

        And that, children, is how you know you’ve already been wearing tinfoil for far too long.

        I wish more than anything that there was evidence of alien life that I could see with my eyes or hear with my ears. For now, we just have some dude saying things with no real evidence.

        And how lucky, that this applies to you huh? Having secret knowledge feels pretty good, I bet.

        When people say these kinds of platitudes what they really mean is they love jumping to conclusions based on flimsy evidence and then judge others for not doing so because they’re “programmed” or whatever.
