Look at this transcript of 5/29/14, which Godwald is promoting as “proof” of Kerry’s hypocrisy about Snowjob. I do believe that “Matt”, who is going after Jen Psaki like a bulldog, is Taibbi who now works for The Intercept.

I find this line of questioning pretty interesting, considering there has been no definitive proof from Snowjob, Godwald or any of them that information collected by the NSA has damaged one single person thus far.

QUESTION: Thanks. In the interview, Mr. Snowden says that his disclosures have not caused any damage. Does this Department agree with that assessment?

MS. PSAKI: Well, Secretary Kerry spoke to this yesterday during an interview with NBC about his view that it has caused damage, and that’s one of the reasons we’re so concerned. And a range of Administration officials have made that point as well.

QUESTION: But there hasn’t been actually - hasn’t been any proof that it’s caused damage. It’s easy for you to say it’s caused damage, but without actually providing proof that it has, how do we know that’s correct?

MS. PSAKI: Well, because a countless number of Administration officials, some under oath during testimony, have stated that it has, and they have talked as extensively as they can.

QUESTION: But can you give a specific example or even a broader example of where it has compromised your counterterrorism operations, for example?

MS. PSAKI: I’m not going to lay out specifics along those lines. A lot of those obviously don’t happen out of this building. If there are more to share, I’m sure we will. But again, there have been a range of testimony, interviews on this issue, and there’s been broad agreement on that front.
