It's already known Snowden has a legal team working with him...you can bet these comments are not his alone and without assistance. I could begin to hate this guy...easily.
Well, good Lord, if you were doing work for THIS gov't, and found what you believed to be major wrongdoing, you'd try to expose it without getting the best legal help you could round up? And people say
Snowden is naive...?
That said, I was following that chat live for a while, and some of the answers came back pretty quickly, not to mention reading fairly spontaneously, IMO. Like that bit about Presidents investigating themselves after the fact -- what lawyer would add that?
