Tonight on FOX twice emphasized that he had only been an IT guy for CIA in Swiss . Thought he’d worked for them in Sweden. Hmmm?
He mentions the CIA office “just down the street “ from his Hong Kong hotel. Hmmmm ????
CIA couldn’t have him present leak if he was still on record working for them. Expect his next information to be about xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx(drum roll)

Greenwald wrote this article on Poitros on April 8, 2012. The article is very revealing as to why Snowden chose Greenwald and Poitros.

Poitras’ intent all along with these two documentaries was to produce a trilogy of War on Terror films, and she is currently at work on the third installment. As Poitras described it to me, this next film will examine the way in which The War on Terror has been imported onto U.S. soil, with a focus on the U.S. Government’s increasing powers of domestic surveillance, its expanding covert domestic NSA activities (including construction of a massive new NSA facility in Bluffdale, Utah), its attacks on whistleblowers, and the movement to foster government transparency and to safeguard Internet anonymity....

But Poitras’ work has been hampered, and continues to be hampered, by the constant harassment, invasive searches, and intimidation tactics to which she is routinely subjected whenever she re-enters her own country

Aside from his sketchy resume, the biggest hole in Snowden's story, IMO, is why he chose Hong Kong/China.

Now he is giving interviews to the South China Morning Post

"He vowed to fight any extradition attempt by the US government, saying: “My intention is to ask the courts and people of Hong Kong to decide my fate. I have been given no reason to doubt your system.’’"

The courts and the people? He is in the hands of Beijing. Why did he put himself there?
