I'd love to be a fly on the wall when that phone call comes into the Kremlin...

US whistleblower Edward Snowden is en route to Moscow from Hong Kong on an Aeroflot flight, reports AFP. Washington has filed an extradition order to the Hong Kong authorities on charges of espionage, theft and conversion of government property.
DETAILS TO FOLLOW.
They can “Waterboard” him.
Putin plays chess. Obama plays basketball...badly.
Quite true. But the real mystery for me is why the Chinese didn't delay him long enough for a little interrogation and a quick copy of that Thumb Drive.
Or maybe they did and we just didn't hear about it.
In any case, it is clear that the Chinese decided that it was in their best interest to see him out of Hong Kong.
Thank you Vladimir, you are a true patriot. Godspeed.
I was thinking it would disappear or get shot down.
From WikiLeaks on Twitter:
FLASH: WikiLeaks has assisted Mr. Snowden's political asylum in a democratic country, travel papers and safe exit from Hong Kong. More soon.
Cool link Thanks!
Yep. The fedgov supporters will need to come up with a new line.
Snowden and the Chinese played it real smart if Snowden goes to Moscow. Beijing could say hey it was Hong Kong responsible for following him not Beijing. Then Hong Kong will say we thought he was going back to the US and we thought it was Beijing sending him back. So while Chinese deny responsibility, Snowden and Putin will have discussions about how to put a serious deat down on Obummer. Next Barry will denounce Putin and demand Snowden get extradited to the US. It’s easy to guess how Putin will respond to that request. Man this is going to be some Must See TV.
Weird beyond imagination.
All the whizzle he blew was that they’re spying on everyone. The entire world already knew that the NSA was spying on them, the only real news was that:
a) The NSA is also spying on the american people
b) The NSA uses the british MI5 to open a huge legal loop hole for spying on americans
The reaction by the RINOs and the DIMs in DC on the NSA and IRS issues unveils that there is absolute NO opposition to keep the excessive federal government under control.
Something has gone horrible wrong with the US when conservatives have to team up with the ACLU to preserve and protect the constitution.
Putin is making Obama look like a fool...and we still have folks supporting Obama over Snowden.
I’m impressed by Hong Kong’s response. They basically said F You to Obummer. Said Barry didn’t provide enough info. on extradition request, which means they’re calling the Kenyan a dumbass. I’ve lived in China for 3 years and I learned the hard way, when it comes to clever schemes nobody is better at scheming than the Chinese. You read their ancient history and classic literary works it’s always about how to fool your enemies and how not to get deceived by your enemies. I bet the Chinese were laughing real hard when they first saw the extradition papers. The Chinese are expert chess players and Barry is a third-rate checkers man.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall when that phone call comes into the Kremlin...
“It acknowledged the U.S. extradition request, but said U.S. documentation did not “fully comply with the legal requirements under Hong Kong law.” It said additional information was requested from Washington, but since the Hong Kong government “has yet to have sufficient information to process the request for provisional warrant of arrest, there is no legal basis to restrict Mr. Snowden from leaving Hong Kong.”
The statement said Hong Kong had informed the U.S. of Snowden’s departure. It added that it wanted more information about alleged hacking of computer systems in Hong Kong by U.S. government agencies which Snowden had revealed.”
ok - he went full traitor - ef him
"Get me the radio tower."
Snowden’s mere presence in Russian airspace had to have been approved by Putin the chess player, himself.
This is going to end badly for Obama which means badly for the rest of U.S.
Nobody in the US will do anything about Obama. We have synchopants on both sides of the aisle and likely blackmailed SCOTUS.
Sadly , it’s taking foreign governments to try to reign the SOB in from full destruction of the US.
It’s surreal
