Who is this generation's Barry Goldwater? Did is he around? Are there any Republican candidates just not trying to get their feelers all over this silly crap? Huckabee has suckered onto her side like he personally let her free himself. Will be amazing if she isn't tapped for a VP position at this point
I'm trying really hard to be polite and not just bash the utter shit out of these candidates... but, honestly, all this does is just prove to me how insane Huckabee and Cruz both are. If you're going to champion someone that broke a sworn oath and disobeyed a direct court order, you are not a person to be trusted with any kind of power, because you clearly view yourself above rules...and sense.

I could trust someone who does this if the reasons are good, for example someone who champions Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning. But seems no one is willing to risk defending those two, which is a shame.

Huckabee’s a few feathers short of a whole duck.
Several ducks short of a flock as well. WOW! Can we say :"Pandering"?

I think the difference is they did not take an oath to obey the law and the court.
Snowden swore an oath to the Constitution, and by doing what he did, upheld that oath. Congress, the courts, and a great many people agree.
Manning, I would expect, thought she was doing the same.
I don't know what kind of oath the US military requires from their personnel, but by sneaking information from a base I'm almost sure she broke it.
Their situations are very different.
