I don’t think he could have tapped potus. It’s possible he thought he could, but I suspect he would have run into some digital razor-wire he didn’t know existed. I sure hope so.

Why don’t you explain to me, if a low level GED student working for a contractor, did manage to have anything like the kind of access he claims he did, how the NSA would benefit from telling the truth about it?
Good grief man, if what he says is even halfway accurate with regard to his access you can bet they’ll lie about it. To do otherwise is to admit they’re granting clearance to the inept and the unstable for heaven’s sake.

The NSA benefits from being upfront that Booz Allen fucked up by hiring a guy who went into the job under false pretenses. If anything, they benefit from arguing that contracting out national security provides failure points like Snowden that compromise our ability to keep secrets. That the best thing that can be done is to bring it all in-house and out of the hands of contractors whose loyalty to the government extends as far as their next paycheck.
