(27,310 posts)Snowden had any information about PayPal.
Going by the documents that we have seen to date and going by the articles that have been written by ALL news sources from around the world, it appears that the information that Snowden copied was about spying through our communications systems not through our financial systems. That may be the only kind of data that he had access to and other NSA facilities deal with finance.
Greenwald has stated that he has no doubt that PayPal has co-operated with the NSA (and, as William Binney states, all major financial companies have, so likely PayPal has, as well) but Greenwald has also stated that the documents in his possession contain nothing about PayPal.
So Edmonds is making these accusations on pure speculation. She also speculates that Snowden must be livid over Greenwald's association with Omidyar but apparently Snowden is not as both Laura and Greenwald have visited with him after the announcement of the venture.
I really appreciate the work that Edmonds has done over the years but she is losing my respect by basing her conclusions on speculation rather than fact. AND she has said some rather vile homophobic things to and about Greenwald via twitter. People have called her on it.
