Chris Christie: - Mike Lee And Rand Paul Siding With 'Criminal' Edward Snowden

QuoteNew Jersey Governor Chris Christie criticized Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT).  During an appearance on Fox and Friends this morning, Christie reacted to a Lee's statement that the New Jersey Governor should be "ashamed of himself" for saying that "you can't enjoy your civil liberties if you're in a coffin" while he defended the extensions of the Patriot Act.

"He said, I said we have to choose between the Fourth Amendment and our national security. We don't," Christie said. "And the Patriot Act hasn't led to us having to make that choice – we can protect our civil liberties and protect the homeland – we've been doing it now for nearly 14 years, he's dead wrong on it."

When asked about Edward Snowden, Christie described him as "a criminal hiding in Russia."

"That's who Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) are siding with? With Edward Snowden?" he asked. "C'mon."

Although Christie has not yet announced his intentions for 2016, he says he will make his decision in June.

Nice try, Christie, but you don't exactly have a great track record in this arena:

QuoteChristie knows that there is a small, but notable, percentage of Muslims in his state.  Paterson, New Jersey, which is in the county of Passaic, for instance, has more Palestinian Muslims than any other city in America.  But it also has more Muslims who openly cheered the 9/11 attacks than any other city in America (except, perhaps, Dearbornistan).  That Passaic's Muslim population cheered on the attacks was covered even by Islamo-pandering, far-left MTV.  Sadly, Christie is seeking this small, vocal, whining minority's votes (even though this is a population that doesn't vote in high numbers and won't make a difference).  To that end, Christie is nominating an extremist Muslim (redundant phrase), Sohail Mohammed, lawyer to assorted Islamic terrorists, to a Passaic County Superior Judgeship.  Yup, Chris Christie rewarded those Muslim mobs who cheered on U.S. soil for the mass murder of 3,000 Americans with a judgeship.

Rand is talking himself out of voters

He keeps this up, he'll either run out of bullets, or toes to shoot of. One of the two...
Though it will be easier to stick his foot in his mouth.

I have to agree with Christie, although I'd never vote for that fat slob, neither would I vote for any Libral-tarian that supports Snowden.

Soooo... You're okay with the NSA Domestic Spying...

And being virtually stripped search before you get on an airliner...

And the massive militarization of the Federal Bureaucracy...

Etc, etc, etc...

Lets not forget this guy, whom disagrees with Christie, someone that has the inside knowledge we're not privy to.
Mike Lee, a Senator with a 100% Conservative approval rating.

Billy, I have to ask. Where do you draw the line on unconstitutional, when do you consider enough is enough?
Here we have an secret arm of the govt, with it's very own rubber stamp judiciary approving Bill of Rights killing invasions, stomping on the First and fourth Amendments, yet you're willing to let it slide?

If they were systematically spying and obstructing the First Amendments of individuals, under the guise of freedom, are you going to turn a blind eye to that as well? (IRS)

Billy, I'm not attacking you, I'm trying to create perspective, I want you to see that the govt you support, is not the same one from a decade ago, that what they're doing in in complete opposition to what this nation was founded on, the antithesis of what our Founders gave us.
I totally understand where you're coming from, and I get the angle of supplying the enemy with intell, but there is no doubt that the enemy already knew what he had, long before he exposed it to the American people

We now have the very govt the Founders warned us about, and the very thing Snowden exposed, was illegal activity under the Constitution.
The question is, what will be your breaking point? Spying on Americans was mine.

Well said Solar and the question you asked Billy is one that we should all answer because  the America we knew a few short years ago is disappearing.  I wasn't asked but I'll be glad to give you my answer on what my breaking point was and it is the embracing of our enemies.

Yes, sadly, our current govt has become the enemy..
Despite the fact what Bush created out of a moment of desperation, has now morphed into a monster, one being used as a tool to watch those of us who disagree with their Marxist bent.

The Patriot Act was meant to protect Americans, not surveil each and everyone of us as if we are the enemy.
Who's watching the watchers and exposing their illegal activities? Snowden.

These posts are right on target. I was all for the Patriot Act when it was passed as it was necessary to react quickly and strongly to what happened on 9/11. Did I see where the act might be abused? Yes. However, I had all the confidence in the world that the Bush administration would not abuse the act. Now we have a leftists administration and they have done exactly one would expect from a bunch of leftists.

Yep....
And you'd think we'd have learned, from Nixon and the EPA, to Education, the left always grows what RINO create.

I DO NOT SUPPORT THE GOVT IN THIS,(or anything else) I support the American people. I always will. This is just my opinion, but very likely these Myriad HACK ATTACKS against US institutions and personal credit card theft may very well be the result of what Snowden traded off for his life in Russia/China. I doubt they had A FRACTION of what Snowden gave up or LIKELY taught them how to do.

That means THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE OR MAY POTENTIALLY, SUFFER BECAUSE OF THIS TRAITOR. This Snowden guys an idiot, he's an Obamao voter by admission. I have no faith in his judgement, he doesn't have maturity or brains. He acted rashly, There were lots of ways he could have exposed this rather than handing things over to the enemy on a silver platter.

And at the end of the day yes they are still the enemy, choosing between an enemy nation and the US I'll ALWAYS choose the US, even it is run by a Marxist Bastard from hell. BECAUSE ITS JUST TEMPORARY.

In the unlikely event hordes of Chinese/Russian  soldiers landed on our shore, I doubt anybody on this board would just stand aside or worse, STAND WITH THEM to overthrow the Marxist administration. Thats how I see it.

Fast and Furious, Release of terror suspects out of Gitmo, flooding the US with Illegals many criminal cartel narcoterrorists, Inviting Muslim Brother hood terrorists for Tea and cookies at the WH, this disgrace of Benghazi......I didn't need Snowden to open my eyes. He might have awakened some against the regime, but by and large very little damage was done to King Hussein

Christie really lit-up Rand Paul and Edward Snowden on The Five yesterday, and wasn't really challenged.  But I think the NSA/domestic-spying spark will still have enough heat to merit discussion in next-month's debate.  So will the feud between Christie and Paul... if the Governor squeaks-into the top-10, that is.

I'm not so sure.

You see, the dirty little secret is that NSA domestic spying benefits those in power - both Democrat and Republican. Both Democrats and Republicans know this. I'm pretty sure that that is why, after the initial dust up, this scandal, (along with the IRS scandal) has been quietly forgotten.

I have the feeling that both the IRS Scandal and the NSA Scandal will be avoided like the Plague in the debates! It's a sure thing that the Liberal moderators won't bring it up!

If you're right, the debate-format will be a bit of an oversweep.  Iran, ISIS, obamacare, illegal invaders...  all need to be aired, but domestic harassment and spying are still part of what needs fixing.
