How principled of you to ruin someone's career and let them spend the rest of their life in prison.

I turned down working for the NSA so I wouldn't even be in the position to have to worry about things like that, thanks.

We should be talking about the fact whistleblowers need legal protection. The current treatment of whistleblowers leaves those who wish to defend the principles of the country no good options.

We should also be talking about how easy it is to frame someone and have them found guilty. The fact that we both have zero problem believing that it's that easy to set someone up should be terrifying.
