Honestly she is too harsh on Snowden. I don't view him as a hero a all but he is definitely closer to that of whistle-blower than a traitor. Especially considering what kind of activities the government was caught doing. Also she is kind of missing the point here. It damaged national security sure but the question Snowden raised was "is this acceptable behavior? even for the national security reasons?" She needs to convince people that "it acceptable and justified"
Snowden is absolutely a whistleblower and a hero. America has some kinda collective disease where we can't just say what's obviously true becaus... I don't know, it just seems like people are cucks.
Like they don't mind being surveilled by intelligence agencies, having democracy dominated by billionaires, they're afraid to say we should prosecute war criminals like Bush and Cheney because they were politicians in a high office. It's such a bummer
hes a hero....announcing to the world the USA government is spying on everyone. fuck her, she should be in jail for war crimes against syrian people
If Rice's NSA pals hadn't been outright lying to the people nobody would have ever heard the name Snowden.
She's been in the system too long.
Yuki Ito I’m not sure but I’m only speculating that Rice is claiming that “Julian Assange” was the wrong person to give it to. (?)
I don’t see Assange as an innocent journalist like most.
I find him to be definitely dishonest, reckless and therefore having questionable behavior.
Ill never forget when Assange worked with republicans, Trump and Fox News to frame Hillary in a conspiracy theory that she had Seth Rich murdered and Assange pushed that conspiracy theory. Wtf
Then there were ppl around Trump, like Roger Stone, reaching out to Assange to time the Hillary dumping of stolen info during the campaign to help Trump when he was experiencing bad publicity like the Access Hollywood tape.
What real journalist does stuff like that?
But Snowden was a whistleblower from what I can tell.
Julian I still question
every whistler blower is a traitor to the NSA,CIA, etc. They are so fucking stupid that they think their 100% record of calling every whistler blower a traitor demonstrates critical thinking. No, Susan rice, yer a well paid tool of the establishment. go fuck yourself.
One major problem is the unending Presidential election campaigns that last for three years.
I understand where she's coming from. But, in the end, Snowden is still a Hero. He did the right thing no matter what the consequences are. Because of him, the power of mass surveillance is checked and people are aware.

Condoleezza Rice and Susan Rice ARE NOT RELATED. wtaf, dude
@@op3129 I misunderstood you're right! Still, don't like her! She's the type of CIA that I connect with the Bourn trilogy which was based on true stories. And please don't call me dude!
@@stevenbrock528 It did make a huge difference. Do some good research, you will see. When enough people are aware, the change is inevitable. And, social media is a completely different animal and needs a different approach.
Snoden followed the chain of command and it went nowhere. Look at what they are trying to do to the Trump whistleblower.
Am still waiting for a good answer on the real Snowden question: Given that the US government was in violation of the 4th amendment and that all 3 branches of government were in the know to varying degrees and kept quiet, what was a person of conscious to do about our government breaking the law and collecting data/spying on us?
I am not looking for a fight, I just want an answer that makes sense ......
jimbo Vargas One crime does not justify another. The ends do not justify the means. Snowden’s actions may ultimately effect change for the better. That’s irrelevant though. That doesn’t excuse crime. That does not give you a get out of jail free card. If you believe in rule of law and not just “rule of whatever I feel like doing at the time”. He still has to face trial. Period.
What Snowden did was for the betterment of judgement but protocols are set in place to protect information from being leaked. So in order to retain access to the said information outside of the reservation, Snowden knew he would have to break through the wall and avoid checks. Simply doing that shows that there are weaknesses in the system but only by way of inside intel on how the system of protection works. If Snowden had been a foreign agent that would have been jumped on by all the offices with equal fervour. As it was only the people worried about the leak ( crusading GOP'ers and their oil company interests ) set to looking for his neck. As long as they hold power then Snowden will not be safe in the US. But I believe he does need to be given some form of punishment for breaking the wall because as an agent with rank you should expect to suffer punishment when breaking protocol. I wouldn't call it treachery. I would call it going awol. As for the information being leaked to people who would otherwise not have access to the information, then that is clearly protected by the 1st amendment by way of allowing the truth of abuses to be examined by a non-bias legal authority(something that still hasn't been done). Whether or not the abuses were performed in another country the bill of rights extends to all US citizens without credible exception. No US passport holder can gun down innocents and journalists and unarmed personal without a clear threat to their own life. To do that is to be hypocritical. The only conclusion was that whilst the US government claimed their capitalist system was what they wanted for everyone because it was beautiful and rich and clean and safe when in fact, they had been making up the rules as they went along to suit their commercial interests. The patriot act embezzled this idea of one rule for them and another for the others. ergo very unpatriotic.
bluegold21 dude, can you edit that so humans can read that?
@@VoodooV1 Whistleblower act. Don't be stupid. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistleblower_Protection_Act
Tim Menke Ok, but Snowden was protecting hundreds of millions from crimes committed by the state that they state still doesn’t want to admit to. Snowden should face trial, but how do you do that in a system that is biased against him due to their own culpability? I guess to me his ends do justify his means as he is protecting and enlightening all of us. Doesn’t mean he shouldn’t face punishment - but I don’t think he can get a fair shake ....
Remember when we had an Administration in the White House that had people that could do their damn jobs?
I'm no fan of every member of the previous administration, but at least they could hold on to their positions for more than 10 minutes.
Right? Or felt inclined to quit when things started to get weird. 😀
They are jumping ship because they don't want to go to jail with the rest of the people that have worked for Trump ie lawyers campaign people people in their Administration please
Because City Bank gave Obama a list of people to fill his cabinet! I guess he wasn't allowed to sack them?
Folk Aart ~ If Clinton, Holder and Lynch broke the law, they should be punished. So you agree that Trump should be punished along with Pants Pompeo Mulvaney and the rest of the criminals in the White House now?
That's cos the media was not constantly on their asses, well since they were on the same side...
"Mandatory national service." How many rich kids do you think would end up participating?
@@AyoooMikey They'd probably develop rapid onset bone-spurs.
@Brian O'Kongkohr Yup, it's one of the symptoms of affluenza.
At least 43 would participate
I would
The word “mandatory” here is operant.
I love how quiet this interview is throughout. That's how you know everyone's really listening. I sure was.
Well, it was a very interesting conversation.
snowden is a hero, bill should have defended him more
"More"?! Bill thinks Snowden is a traitor, don't kid yourself.
@@bonesonstones1 Has he said that?
I‘m afraid Bill gets old and do not understand freedom as clear anymore, maybe because he has too much and don’t feel the ground anymore.
He is interviewing her. Not sparring with her. Not the forum for that.
Karthick, but let her say : traitor, without asking whom she thinks Snowden has betrayed exactly, that was Bill being not awake. Snowden might have betrayed government dealings but not the people and certainly not the constitution
America has been itching to tear itself apart for a good, long time. All it needed was a little push.
Thanks to Obama and his Transformation of America.
Obama exposed how racist our country really is. Without Obama there would be no Trump.
@@obamamama sorry to disagree the race issue was a long time coming, in fact it never seemed to have left!
@Sikemo, I don’t think we disagree all that much. My point is that enough of America was so freaked out by having a black president, that our next president got elected by being a straight out racist. Your right it’s nothing new. But before Obama the racism was hiding underneath the surface.
@@obamamama The 'knee jerk' reaction, yeah.. It seems that swinging to extremes is the way of things. That pendulum never seems to slow down.
Why does ANY ONE address the FACT that republikkkans cut benghazi's security budget which allowed the ambassador to be assassinated when republikkkans were in control of the purse and Congress? Hold them accountable for THEIR betrayal to the people
No, the facts didn't matter when the GOP was in complete control of the US Congress and they still dome matter with the 'Leader' in control of the Senate.
Cheryl Adams , I was saying that when it happened but white folks didn’t want to hear facts because the President was black and the Secretary of State was a white woman. There was simply more idiots willing to follow Restuplicans.
@Alexander Caine look at the regime called republicans today. But both parties are corrupt RACIST mother fuckers. It's just more poor folks and BLACK folk affiliate themselves with the corrupt democrats ever since the Kennedy era.Hate to bust your little bubble these bitch ass racist mostly old stuck in the GOOD OLE DAYS who refuse to come from under the sheet and rid themselves of their myopic views. They're responsible for brainwashing idiots like YOU. Them OLE days aint HAPPENING bitch. YOU pick up a fucking book you tragladyt cave BEAST and see what you should have gotten long time ago and time AINT long now. Your ignorance opened this box. So enlighten your DUMB ass and take it WHERE you want it to go just make sure you can deal with ALL the repercussions or is the words too big ASSHOLE. Fuck off bitch. I put kkk cause I call it How I see it. What color your hood is, pussy pink?
@Alexander Caine. Now the Republicans are the party of the KKK. It's call evolution.
Alexander Caine You, sir, need a better education. Before spouting your “historical truths”, may I suggest that you don’t stop there, but examine the entire historical facts. You will then discover why Republikkkan is a very apt spelling. I was confused once, just as you are now, but a I found a bit of research very enlightening. I suggest you start with our friend, Google.
I love Susan Rice but I'm not entirely convinced by her comment regarding Edward Snowden. I need more data.
I've admittedly been on the fence when it comes to Snowden.
When she mentioned that there was dangerous information we haven't heard about, my curiosity was piqued. I agree, I'd like to see some data as well.
@@bunk-bn9eo Also why not give him a proper public trial? What dangerous secret information are they hiding from us?
@@Gymnopediea Because he's not here to defend himself. He fled the country.
Afaf Benhara , please read his new book. I saw him as a true citizen before, now I see him as a big inspiration for me, to act as a true citizen too.
CommaCam, he could not stay because of an old spy law from the early 19th century. This law makes him equal to a traitor that collaborated with an enemy and the punishment is death.
I have no patience for those "national security" folks. All they do is pander for more wars...
They are experts. What are you.
@@blaisemacpherson7637 yes, they are experts at selling more war. Susan Rice is a f'n idiot.
She's smart, tough and a pleasure to listen to.
I wonder if we will ever grow up as a country and figure out both parties are evil and snowden was a hero.
I wonder if Rice's book will provide any insight on why John McCain entertained such a pathological hatred of her.
I've been saying that everyone should do service for our country for a while. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Chris, and it doesn't have to be in the 🎖️!
It will take a new generation to get out of the hate cycle.
I've thought the same thing. It can't be soon enough.

What a smart and intelligent lady, respect ✊🏻
But she have a conservative son, which means she spoil him rotten. Not a very good mother though.
She's a fascist DB. who's head is so far up government's ass she can't see the light.
I always thought she was Rices daughter, she's amazing and so nice,go Susan!!!!
The argument on Snowden is simple: Through his actions, did he expose corruption and save lives? If the answer is yes then 'traitor' might be a bit harsh.
No, it's not at all simple: Snowden did both, save lives and endanger the lives of others, including also innocent people.
@mike carson Hi, open your eyes. Russia has always been able to "do it to us" and they have been since the late 80s. Russia's cyber warfare units are light years ahead of ours and always have been. The main reason the NSA went to such lengths was to try to catch up. But cyber doesn't work like that. You have to have TALENT at your disposal and you need to invest resources into it. Russia steals classified info from countries all over the world, every single day. That's the only way they can hope to compete. Snowden opened Pandora's Box. Once people (well, people with more than one brain cell to rub together) found out that their own government was watching them, they changed their behaviors to some extent.
mike carson this shithole needs the truth
@mike carson do you know what "lives were saved" supposedly (so many comments defending snowden)? I don't get the premise.
you're obviously not claiming that, just wondering if you know what it is possibly based on.
I deactivated my Facebook account, I don't hear the arguments. It is great.
same
Not me. I can handle opposing opinions.
Her poise is such a potent contrast to the current clown show around His Royal Tangerineness
Suuuuch a good conversation! Love her, intelligent woman!
She is a war criminal
I would totally agree with Ms Rice if I believed is ok for government to violate the constitution. Ms Rice our concert isn’t about the government’s embarrassment after Snowden released those documents, it’s about our rights.
243 years of a Republic possibly coming to an end.
Frank Maitland .. Yes, a terrifying thought
It wouldn't just be a catastrophe for the American continent it would be a tragedy for the whole world because I think the USA contributes to a balance of power. Think of WWII or the aggressive economic expansion of the Chinese or Putin. US intervention hasn't been perfect and sometimes made things even worse such as Iraq war and yet I believe the US can grow out of this and become a nation Henry Thoreau hoped you would grow to become. After all he is the father of the American literature.
@@sikemo9432 well thought out and argued position.
Great interview! I loved Rice's succinct summaries of the various situations. Great hard questions.
Did you know that Bill Maher hasn't got the balls to invite Kyle Kulinski? Real Talk.
"that shit happens to black folks!"
that was straight up gangster! respect!
I like her a lot however Snowden is hardly a traitor, more like a PATRIOT sacrificing the rest of his days to inform people about what is gathered from our government. Having lived now in the Middle East over a decade I do understand pretty much all governments collect information as national security and is understandable, however the public is largely unaware. So cheers to Rice but the last 30 seconds of this interview at best was remiss of context... Snowdon not selling us out but giving you, me, others...facts!
Sheila Scribner he sold US secrets to Russia.
@@JudgeRhadamanthys So did Trump, in the Oval Office no less.
@@JudgeRhadamanthys is this true? (I'm not asking this sarcastically really) My understanding was that he turned over information to journalists and deleted the rest only being forced to live in Russia afterwards.
@@sheilashadiamusic No, that's not true. There's absolutely zero credible evidence to support he shared anything with them.
@@JudgeRhadamanthys total bullshit
Snowden is a HERO...we need more of them.
@D MAN no evidence for it. But even if he did, it was worth it.
He cost Americans their lives? Good thing no responsibility goes to the leaders who lied us into wars and grabbed their ankles for the military-industrial complex. Then again, little things like lying, stealing, and causing death are only wrong if it ISN'T the government doing it to you.
@D MAN . Are you saying Snowden is the reason trump got elected?
@@snuffeldjuret WHAT THE FUCK? What you said was treasonous! MORON!
I just love this woman extremely dearly! I mean love! She is charming and I love her for being on her feet all the time! No drag at all! Yet very feminie ! I love her really!
Bill asked about confusing Condoleeza Rice and Susan Rice, but he never asked if they were RELATED. I looked into it and guess what? They ARE INDEED related (...thru their Uncle Ben).
Up to the point when she started talking about Snowden, I thought that was a resonable woman... then it went south faster than Trump can spell „fake news“!! So sad...
Yeah I had pretty much the same reaction, once she started calling Snowden a traitor her true colors came shining through. Snowden is a hero for exposing the evil that Rice helped to spread
It;s funny because she was praising the whistleblower who exposed the Trump/Ukraine business. Snowden is a whistleblower but he challenged the power of the national security state to spy on the world secretly, so she think's he's a traitor. She's a hypocrite and an authoritarian
@Young Tang That's a pleasant dream compared to what we're living with now on a daily basis.
@@heythere9371 why didn't snowden try using the whistleblower channel FIRST?
@@op3129 because he would've been silenced and the info never would've gotten out
Snowden and Manning are Heros
I Love Susan Rice, I always did. Brilliant accomplished Lady.
She wants to bring back the draft. I heard her say it should be mandatory that American citizen between 18 and 21 should have to serve in the military. The lessons of Vietnam say otherwise. Forced military service in a democracy can only lead to a downward spiral of troop moral, dissension and anarchy as happened during Vietnam. Some people never learn.
Bill, oh Bill! On the one hand, you say you wonder why we keep creating these geopolitical messes; but then you turn around and say the CIA are patriots(!) Do you not think the CIA had a thing or two to do with some of our famous messes? Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, South America?
You bring up a valid question!
The CIA is a terrible organization that has knocked down democratic governments around the world if they weren't favorable enough to American business (Iran, Guatamala, Chile, etc), tortured people, spied on people, and done other sketchy shit. Fuck them
Ugh her remarks on Snowden were disgusting. He slapped them in the face by revealing the unconstitutional nefarious data collecting and spying they were doing to their public. Snowden is a hero.
Rickus LastName hero to Russia.
@@Cats2Fat America good. Russia bad. If you point out the American government's criminality then you are helping Russia, therefore you are bad and a traitor.
@@Cats2Fat total bullshit and just proves that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about
How’s Libya doing Susan?
Wow it's rich coming from Bill Maher to stop hating each other.
I rather doubt that Mr. Snowden is living 'high on the hog'
"that shit happens to black folks", Amen my sista'....
I wonder if she thought about the black folks when she punted mandatory national service? Because we know daddy's rich white kids ain't doing that shit. This neo-liberal pro-war hack is very far removed from what the people want and need.
I was looking this comment just to like it!!
Whenever I see Bill in a crowded airport I always shout "Hey man, loved you in Body Double!" He doesn't hear that enough.
Edward Snowden is a true Patriot Susan Rice!
I whole heartedly agree with Susan Rice, on some sort of mandatory service for young people. ( though, I fear it could be used to reinstate the draft, so how it is implemented deserves a great deal of oversight).
Caveats aside, back in the Stone Age of 1971, as a teenager I was part of a program put together by the “Ethical Culture Society”, “The Encampment for Citizenship”. A summer with a group of teens from all different socio-economic, racial, and cultural backgrounds, thrown together in a live in campus. We had to create our own government, and learn to get along with each other. Our staff were graduate students who had done stints in the peace corps, and high school teachers who themselves were breaking ground in their own communities for racial equality and social justice. Our group of teens, were white liberal kids ( mostly Jewish) from the NY metro area, inner city black and Hispanic kids from Newark NJ, Native American kids from the Blackfoot Nation, white Anglo farm kids from the wheat belt, and a couple of students from overseas ( Israel, Europe, Hong Kong). There were 3 campuses in the country. My group was in Great Falls, Montana.
I am so grateful I was able to participate in this program. To this day, I feel it was one of the best learning experiences on how we are so much more a like, than our differences. And when we can understand why those differences are standing in the way of our living and working together, then we as humans, can come together and create effective change for the betterment of our planet. 🙏
It also sounds really corruptible. I await headlines "Mississippi's national server program found to be a front for abuse, forced religious indoctrination, and coerced labor exploitation." Imagine what you would do with an effective slave population, no ethics, and convincing cover as a legitimate program.
Rice's stance against Snowden invalidates her whole image as this empathic big diplomat.
*Edward Snowden is not sitting in Moscow of his own volition. Rice's own boss OBAMA made sure he had to stay there by revoking his passport.* While SHE was NSA, so she might even have made Obama revoke the passport and thus had a part in hium being stranded there herself. Peak disingenuity.
And without Snowden, even fewer people would have the first idea about the complete Orwellian surveillance state that they live in without any kind of data privacy.

You can't Mossad the Assad.

Brilliant.
I don’t believe Edward Snowden is a traitor. He’s brave and courageous.
Wow the Bill Maher comment section is such a bummer
Ruben Rojas Why? Because people have a difference of opinion? That's a good thing. Keeps it from being a complete echo chamber.
Well said! Awesome Lady!
When there are only two viable parties, it benefits both to have a huge gulf between them. There is no middle of the road anymore. I mourn the loss of liberal Republicans and conservative Democrats. Those of us who are social liberals and fiscal conservatives have no options.
She is super super cute and I always thought so.
She BS'd her way through that Face The Nation interview and the public knows it.
"Mandatory national service." Absolutely not. Mandatory customer service jobs would be a better idea.
Well she was certainly correct when she said our greatest national security threat was our political differences. January 6th proved that.....
That is one lady I'd love to have at a dinner party.
and bang her. She is cute
I don't she seems narcissistic.
Bill used to make fun of the hacks like he's become!
My thought's exactly like CNN what would they do without him.
Don't see how anyone could confuse the two Rices. Condoleeza has *great* legs 😍
Holy Softball!
She said "her parents had no business being married😲😲😲"
yeah and.....? Lot of people shouldn't be married. yet they are. Peer pressure is a bitch.
9:14 That's all well and good, but how about what the US government "did"? How about that, lady?
I am not an American but I love America after my own country. America as an idea is something unique, its values and systems is what makes it great. America accepts immigrants and gives a decent chance to success. I am saddened when I hear anti-immigrant rhetoric from main stream politicians. Shit, I was a kid when 9/11 happened and I was in tears when I saw the towers fall. I had major exams next day and me and my dad watched the news till early morning as we knew it was a historic tragedy. I would have fought for US, if they needed me. But politics have changed alot, Trump is America and we know whet they think of black and brown folks.
Susan Rice MUST be part of the new team in november! Love her way ...
Can anyone understand that there are two sides to the Snowden saga?
Do Americans just enjoy derision, division, and black or white?
I hope Snowdens book outsells Rices book 3fold.
Bill Maher advocating for mandatory national service is simply ridiculous
"If it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide." Abraham Lincoln's Lyceum Address
Long live Snowdon! This woman is horrific
These is complete war propaganda. Bill, I hate to say this, but you really make the case for why weed shouldn’t be legal. You’ve been talking nonsense for 5 years.
If we as a nation don’t take to the streets, and have massive protest about the fact that our living wages have not elevated but our housing medical care and food has. The fact that our minimum wage is still as low as it is it has not kept up with inflation. The infrastructure our road no investment has been made but yet the stock market these corporations have huge profits and pay very little taxes.
She should be Vice President
Putin Putin Putin the more i hear about him the less i like him
Well, that’s good. Putin doesn’t like us either.
Bill: "We can just not talk about politics"
How do people think this guy is smart, every episode he's been saying some really stupid stuff
Seriously, this is what centrist liberals want. They want another Obama so they can go back to their brunches and not think about politics. I feel like Trump and all the crises that led to him (08 crash, Iraq War, the concentration of wealth among billionaires, etc) has shown us it's important to pay attention to politics
This is the solution for the division in your country: stop calling yourself a republican, just because you voted for a republican candidate. Stop calling yourself a democrate because you voted for democratic one. These are just votes you cast and not your persona.
On the Snowden question, people need to remove emotions and know she is speaking from a place of knowledge. He might have done something good but she knows the flipside of the situation.
What does she know?
Snowden did it for his fellow citizens and his conscience about what the government he worked for was doing to its civil rights in the shadows... and it still is..
Sales taxes have been on the rise in so many states because it hits up the poor people more than the wealthy people. In my economics class we learned that the total percentage of your total income paid to sales tax is higher than the percentage of wealthy’s total income.
Mandatory national service is happy comfort food it is basically a modern day draft for the 21st century.
Sometime in the future....History will pardon Snowden just like history has now pardoned Daniel Ellsberg. The American PEOPLE had a constitutional right to know what their government was up to. God Bless patriots like Snowden & Ellsberg
Putin Knows how much America is divided. I’ve heard Putin say this!!!!
We need to give Susan Rice some tough love behind bars.
Like this gal. Dressed for business, excellent analytical ability, a perspective for improvement. America is its own worst enemy... and Rice said that it is their luck. Correct!
I am hearing the phase mandatory national service alot lately and it just seems as though on the surface it might sound nice particularly the older more cynical people who it won't affect. It just seems viscerally against the idea of America. Place that is supposely free(minus the repression) but at least we strive for that as an idea. I am not or have ever been opposed to the draft if used responsibly, but this to me seems essentially a repessive idea. That's coming from a person it will never actually effect. If you want your child to learn the virtues of community and unity perhaps have a community service grant. One that will offer college credits in exchange for community service work. #GOP #DNC #DEM #REP #DEMOCRAT #REPUBLICAN
agreed. A-lot of people can't handle the slap-in-the-face-stress of military service and might be detrimental or a danger to their fellow soldiers. I've never been shot at so I can't say my opinion is totally valid, but serving the community here internally in the U.S. seems like a better idea VS sending everyone out to police the world.
people say their eyes are opened when they travel the world... that they are better grounded after experiencing foreign cultures.... maybe the same principle applies to a mandatory travel, work with, help communities around the U.S.A.
@@digitalmayor I would go as far as to say to extend this to those with debt. Broke my arm learning to skateboard, now I have a bill equal to what I paid for my vehicle 10G. Let's not condemn every one just for getting hurt or making bad mistakes in the past, but if you ask me the getting hurt part should be a priority. Problem being this stand awefully close to endentured servitude. Even if it was that's a step up from poverty. It would also probably keep people out of jail as well.
Susan Rice was a great guest, but the same could not be said about Danielle Pletka...
Late to the party. Bill did you really say "Thank you for your service" to Susan Rice?
I like her, but I'm really grateful that Snowden revealed the surveillance policies of our government.
I agreed with her till the end
You cant tell the difference between her and Condoleezza Rice ?
Being called Condoleezza Rice is a compliment!
I want her to run for President in 2024.
That mandatory service shit will never fly in america.
Its interesting how tough love is based on mentalities that are firm in the believe that being a crook is necessary.
I loooooooooooove Susan
Snowden called out this country on some McCarthy era type bullshit that still happens today... And she calls him a traitor?
It seems that Rice would prefer that secret universal surveillance continue. Imagine what Trump could do with that.
