You really think he could have dumped all of that without having it traced back to him? Aren't these audited systems?

- irishcoffee 9mo agoYes, I think he could have. He didn't want to cover his tracks. Leaking information to the media is falling-off-a-log easy. The best journalists will tell you to your face "I'll go to jail before I give up a source"
- fc417fc802 9mo agoIt's not a matter of a journalist giving up his source. The issue is the sheer quantity of data leaked and the fact that the systems are (I assume) audited. Barring a security exploit I assume it would have been trivial to identify the responsible accounts. If you believe otherwise I'm open to your theory but I think it is on you to provide a plausible explanation here.
- irishcoffee 9mo agoThe journalist doesn’t need to leak all of the documents, they need to tell the story, with like… 3% of the docs. This again leads me back to, Snowden didn’t give a fuck about whistleblowing. He just didn’t.
