Snowden’s crime is crossing his betters.
Clinton free.
Brennan free.
Clapper free.
Mueller free.
Comey free.
I agree. I’m all for a pardon.
NSA “has everything”. But they never seem to do anything with it. All through the Russia collusion hoax, the stolen election, these very real threats to the republic, NSA has not stepped up and said “Here are Hillary’s emails” or “Biden made a deal with Xi” or anything like that.
The Ratcliffe report is expected by Dec 18. It ought to have some real meat. If it’s just a piece of paper indicating that some people are a little suspicious about some stuff which may have happened, and maybe a special prosecutor should be named so that maybe 3 years from now we can say that nothing happened … that will be insufficient.
Lets put the cards on the table. Lets find out what NSA knows. If NSA doesn’t want to ever say anything, then I think Snowden was absolutely right in doing what he did.
Yes!
Definitely not a hero. Hero’s don’t flee to the Soviet Union and allow them to debrief you.
“The Ratcliffe report is expected by Dec 18. It ought to have some real meat.”
It will be a non definitive, gray morass of BS.
He didn’t flee to Russia. He was on a flight to Ecuador when we canceled his passport forcing him to stay in Russia.

during a livestream that her White House sources have said that Barr was “for sure” the biggest obstacle to getting a pardon (for Assange). Barr is gone now.
It was a stop on way to Ecuador. USA revoked his passport mid-flight
I think all these guys were heroes....I have absolutely no faith in this sorry ass government....liars all!!!
AS others have noted on this thread, he did not “flee” to Russia, he was stuck there. But, who is a greater threat to you and me—Russia or the Amerikan Deep State thugs? Combined with the recent news that the ChiComs own a vast swath of American influencers, I have my doubts.
NSA is the largest employer in Maryland. In 2020 it supposedly has a 62.7 billion dollar budget they deign to tell us about. The number of employees are classified, but it is estimated to be 30,000-40,000.
In 2017 Homeland security estimated a border wall would cost 21 billion dollars to build.

Snowden is hero. My F-I-L, a Deep State intel bureaucrat, would turn into a rabid monster at the mere mentioning of Snowden. That is when I knew Snowden was right.
The NSA’s budget is actually scattered cross the globe. The NRO primarily funds many of the sensor systems used to feed the NSA. So, combined, they have a huge budget that is scattered primarily within the USAF but also consumed by all DoD departments and government agencies.
I think Snowden said the intelligence black budget was 52 billion in 2012 or 13.

Snowden was a low level systems technician contractor for a vert limited time. He is not an all knowing individual of the intelligence community.
Our government is corrupt, they spy on Americans, they lie to spy on newly elected Presidents - it’s out of control.
I’m not saying he is. I don’t trust any of it. I sure can’t feel sorry for the sundry intelligence services.
