    This is revisionist nonsense fueled by anger. Dubya did all the NSA stuff WITH bipartisan support in Congress that led to the Snowden leaks. Susan Rice was the one that went apeshit on Snowden, and of course a rational sitting President needs to show solidarity in that with their national security heads. Obama actually assigned a panel to investigate solutions to the stuff that the NSA was doing, but yes, he did say he was a traitor.

      He didn’t need to do anything. He willingly went along with it.
