It just annoys me that the left gives him a free pass for dressing like a woman - everyone else guilty of the same things are "criminals".
I don't know how I feel about whistleblowers. I support fighting against illegal government action, but it kind of all becomes relative at some point...

He's not a whistleblower. He's a fucking traitor who violated the law to release classified information he had access to but wasn't even supposed to be reading himself. His sentence was way too light as it was, and Obama shouldn't have commuted it.

I agree with half of what you said. Why is someone a traitor for leaking classified information? It is all relative. If he leaked information showing how Voat members were about to be taken to FEMA camps you'd be singing a different tune. That's why I said I wasn't sure how I feel about it. Maybe a traitor, maybe a hero - haven't made up my mind yet.
