If Im president, Putin says hey, boom youre gone I guarantee you that, Mr. Trump said in an interview with CNN.
Mr. Trump called Mr. Snowden...a total traitor and said he would deal with him harshly.
And if I were president, Putin would give him over. I would get along with Putin. Ive dealt with Russia, Mr. Trump said.
He would never keep somebody like Snowden in Russia he hates [President] Obama; he doesnt respect Obama. Obama doesnt like him either. But he has no respect for Obama, has a hatred for Obama, and Snowden is living the life, he said.
Mr. Trump...also said hes not interested in a vice presidential position...
Its not that I wouldnt its a phenomenal position, he said. I think its a very powerful position its not for me.
"If I do the third-party thing, it would be, I think, very bad for the Republicans. I think it would be very bad in terms of beating the Democrats, and we have to win.
He said without independent candidate Ross Perot in the 1992 presidential race, you would have never heard of Bill Clinton.

I don’t view Snowden the same way Trump does.
I think what he did may have been illegal, but it was still important for the American people to know what their government was up to.
“A lot of people believe in this mythology around Snowden.”
I think the mythology is that snowden, a supposed employee for just several weeks, had access to such information as “millions of documents”.
That is pure nonsense, unless you call revealing detailed secrets of how we gather foreign intelligence and who was involved in doing so (which had nothing to do with the domestic data collection issue) and severely damaging our national security efforts “upholding the Constitution.” Which of course, it isn’t.
I agree with you on Snowden. He exposed the illegal widespread surveillance. I hate to see Trump go down this road.
Snowden was only a traitor to the NSA, not to the Constitution.
If I was Snowden I would listen to your prediction and be planning hard,,,, now. I’d think of China, or wherever the Nazis went to hide.
And time to walk away from this whole mess. Grow a beard, lose the glasses, shave his head, and flip burgers in Argentina or something.
But he isn’t careful, this American government would lock him up for the rest of his life for revenge. He exposed their anti 4th amendment behavior.
Keep dreaming.
From the interviews I’ve seen, Trump doesn’t seem to be onboard the Soros/neocon project to start WW3 in Ukraine.
The delusion is strong in this one.
So, he would get Snowden back and have the U.S. Justice Department seek charges against him. Snowden would get a Trial and what happens, happens.
The only reason Putin let Snowden stay in Russia is to embarrass the Kenyan, and everyone knows it.
Snowden is a patriot. He exposed massive, ongoing crimes being committed by the government against we the people, crimes that still have not stopped. The Bill of Rights is not something to be discarded the moment the fear level is jacked up high enough. It is fundamental to the essence of what America is.
War’s already started. Putin started it.
Sure. Soros and Hillary are totally blameless for their role in launching a coup and didn’t start anything.
So when does WW3 begin? One would think it’d have started already.
