Well, yeah.
Who decides which criminals shouldn’t be prosecuted because some people think what they did had merit?
There’s the rub.
Some could argue that there are two crimes committed:
Snowden stole files that the US Government was illegally spying on citizens for NO reason.
The US Government was spying on American citizens, anytime they wanted for NO reason.
You’re more concerned with the former, than the latter. You’re a Deep State Plant/Stooge/I have nothing to hide so I don’t care. I’m more concerned with the fact that the US government was and is, spying on American’s. Listening to phone calls. Storing metadata.
Look at what they did to President Trump. And all you care about is....he stole something and should be held to account.
Snowden gave those files to two people he thought he could trust to get the information out. If he had gone any other route anything he found would have been handled like the Ark of the Covenant at the end of the first Indiana Jones movie.
And you still didn’t answer ONE of the questions I posed to you, earlier. Ergo, you’re a fed. You’re a Deep State stooge. Or you’re not seeing the forest for the trees.
Either way, I’m done talking to a door knob.
