Edward Snowden, like the rest of us, has been utterly fascinated by the DNC email leak and what it has exposed:
If Russia hacked the #DNC, they should be condemned for it. But during the #Sony hack, the FBI presented evidence. https://t.co/SG7er8VDRD

Evidence that could publicly attribute responsibility for the DNC hack certainly exists at #NSA, but DNI traditionally objects to sharing.

Did the #DNC seriously just swap the Chair fired for anti-Sanders bias with a different anti-Sanders official? pic.twitter.com/kTAntcz4NM

But Snowden did offer some criticism today of WikiLeaks for how they’ve gone about it:
Democratizing information has never been more vital, and @Wikileaks has helped. But their hostility to even modest curation is a mistake.
— Edward Snowden (@Snowden) July 28, 2016
Remember, Snowden did not personally release any of those NSA documents. He gave them to journalists he entrusted to curate through all of them so it wasn’t just a blanket document dump.
WikiLeaks operates differently––they have set up archives every time they have released new batches of documents for people to pour through––and they shot back in a pretty astounding way:
@Snowden Opportunism won't earn you a pardon from Clinton & curation is not censorship of ruling party cash flows https://t.co/4FeygfPynk
— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) July 28, 2016
Snowden, for the record, is not a Clinton fan.
