9/4/20 Trevor Timm on the Vindication of Edward Snowden - a podcast by Scott Horton

Trevor Timm discusses an important new ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which says that the NSA’s mass data-gathering program, famously exposed by Edward Snowden, was illegal all along. It also came out during the court proceedings that not a single act of terrorism was ever prevented by the program. This ruling is a major vindication of Snowden’s decision, and may bring him one step closer to exoneration.



Discussed on the show:



“James Clapper denies lying to Congress about NSA surveillance program” (AP News)

“State Department Cables” (WikiLeaks)

“Afghan War Logs” (WikiLeaks)
