During Tenure In Russia, Edward Snowden Has Kept A Low Profile
It’s been three years since Edward Snowden landed at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport and began a new life in exile. NPR has an update on his strange tenure in Russia.
BEN WIZNER: Of course, it’s impossible to prove a negative. But as he has made clear, he didn’t even bring sensitive information with him to Russia, precisely because he didn’t want to be in a position where he could be coerced. He was approached. He made very clear that he had no intention of cooperating, and he has not.

My impression today ... from prior hints “Q” has given - @Snowden didn’t take the data to Russia ... he left it in HONG KONG for CHINA.
TBD + WWG1WGA :)
Might @Snowden have been in VENEZUELA?
Prior posts indicated such. There was one showing an airline terminal ...
I read the document referenced by Q, the House Intel Committee report on Snowden.
It makes you wonder why anyone would bother with spending billions on the Intelligence Community ... all the James Bond and Carrie Mathison stuff... when all it takes is a loser who flunked out of every school and then the military to apply for a job as system admin, get some security clearances (without references), lie on all the forms, get hired by CIA where he was a terrible employee, flunked a poly, flunked various security training ... and then, while they were probably working on firing him, apply for and get hired to a BIGGER JOB (more $$$), as an NSA contractor (BOOZ ALLEN) with access to everything ... personnel files, military plans etc.
Then continue to piss everyone off with whining, complaining to the upper management, not showing up for work etc. while "Exfiltrating" documents that would stack 3 miles high if printed ... much of this requiring access to a jobsite where he was no longer even stationed but still had access.
Wow.
According to the HPSCI Report, only a very small fraction of what Snowden took had anything to do with surveillance of Americans he claimed as motivation.
Of course the Report is self-serving of the IC; and it makes Snowden look REALLY BAD; but, it makes the CIA and NSA look EVEN WORSE.
Like Inspector Clouseau worse.
