Edward Snowden Describes When The CIA Got A Swiss Banker Drunk The former NSA/CIA employee who leaked documents about several invasive government spying programs, Edward Snowden has had growing doubts about the government for a long time, according to a interview in the Guardian.
One "formative" incident occurred around 2007, when the young technical analyst was working for the CIA under diplomatic cover in Geneva, Switzerland. It involved a Swiss banker, as described in the Guardian: CIA operatives were attempting to recruit a Swiss banker to obtain secret banking information. Snowden said they achieved this by purposely getting the banker drunk and encouraging him to drive home in his car. .

“by purposely getting the banker drunk”
you mean against his will?
Like in North by Northwest?
Snowden says he thought about leaking government documents during his CIA stint in Geneva but refrained for fear that these secrets could endanger people, not machines and systems, and because he was hopeful about the election of Barack Obama.
Fool.

Come on, Snowden.
Tell us something new about Barry Soetoro.
Wuz the Banker happy?
Even Barry flew under the RADAR.
He told us that under Obama more liberties have been taken away than any other time in history. He also told us that they’ve got it set up that if you’re a whistle blower you will pay and you will not get a fair trial.
The CIA must be mellowing. In the old days they’d have set up the rube with a hooker who wakes up dead in his bed.
Telling - very telling...
Two traitors who are both trying to weaken, embarrass and eventually destroy America.
I don’t believe a dang thing this traitor says. He is not a whistleblower, he is a freaking spy....and a spy for the Russians.
Does anybody find it interesting that every leak is harmful to the US....lol...he found or downloaded nothing harmful to Russia, China, Cuba etc.
Smell the coffee.
What a great story! To the gallows.....
ECCM shows no results from that revolution. :^)
John F’N Kerry (he served in Vietnam) Demands he comes back to America. I believe he is Secretary to the Secretary. Whatever
Upon furthur examination it would appear as thou some federal judges and the President himself are inbound.
Take your own advise. Snowden exposed the depth and breadth of our gooberments deep intelligence gathering efforts.
Against American citizens!
The gathering of such info about non-citizens doesn't bother me, even a little bit.
Sure, Putin has him now but where else could this man run?
I consider Snowden to be a Patriot not a traitor.
