I’d rather it was Assange...he could _hang HRC...

What’s the final determination on Snowden, FreeQs?

Is Snowden a good guy or a bad guy?

I say he is a bad guy, but I admit it’s only a gut feeling.

I thought the story was that Snowden was a plant for the CIA, who was engaged in a power war with the NSA.

It was allowable therefore for Snowden to be made to look rather heroic in just enough places among the media to advantage the CIA over the meanies NSA.

CIA had no further use for Snowden and Snowden took off, labeled a traitor, not to be seen again on American soil.
Sorta.

No?

He was both. He revealed that the government was spying on everyday Americans and mass collecting their communications (warrantless) for no good reason (good guy); but he also exposed NSA secrets about espionage efforts against enemies (bad guy). Some shades of gray with this guy.

If his exposure of secrets got any Americans killed, or damaged national security in a material way, that would absolutely tip the balance. Regardless of the effect of his actions, the fact is he broke the law and violated his oath.
