Edward Snowden, the man at the heart of the NSA information leaks, is nothing but a traitor and America ought to recreate history in dealing with him, real estate mogul Donald Trump said on a Fox & Friends interview.
In other words, execute him, Mr. Trump implied.
I think Snowden is a terrible threat, I think hes a terrible traitor, and you know what we used to do in the good old days when we were a strong country you know what we used to do to traitors, right? Trump said, Politico reported.
Well, you killed them, Donald, said fill-in host, Eric Bolling.
Mr. Trumps response: Well, he is damaging America. This guy is really doing damage to this country, and hes also making us look like dopes, he said, Politico reported.
We cant allow this guy to go out there and give out all our secrets and also embarrass us at every level. We should get him back and get him back now.

He would not be here fighting the good fight.
He would be arrested under the Patriot Act and his right to discuss anything is removed by the PA, including discussing anything about his case.further his prosecution would be completely secret.
He would get dumped in some dark hole never to be seen again.
If he’s consistent, he would also feel the same about the WH occupier.
Don't go wobbly. He exposed what our government is doing to us. You're cool with that?
That wouldn’t be because Donald is an oligarch mole operative, would it? C’mon Donald, change my mind, invest in some useful, nation building capital infrastructure instead of the traditional oligarch/latifundist ground rent speculation.
And I replied that it's a forgery and the ball is in our court now. The questions need to be directed at John Boehner and our elected officials, not a private citizen who is not an elected official.
Absolutely! And I'm also cool with the Westboro Baptist Church's belief that homosexuality being a sin but I'm not going to join them in protesting US soldiers' funerals.
He really should have stopped at the domestic issues.
Snowden crossed the line when he had said the NSA had hacked Chinese mobile-phone companies to collect millions of text messages and had also hacked Tsinghua University in Beijing. He even provided documents that listed details of specific episodes during a four-year period.
And when he said that the NSA had planted bugs in EU offices in Washington, New York, and Brussels, and had infiltrated their computer networks.
It does not matter if the enemy already knew from their own sources (and you do not know that they did). An American that was trusted with this information confirmed it.
It's the fact that Snowden is and was in a position to confirm it - and he did. That's the problem.
I understand what you're saying about exposing Obama on the domestic stuff. I also feel the same as you do about it. And up to that point I agree with you. I wished he had stopped there.
I don’t think he’s revealed a fan thing that hasn’t been written about before this time.
Go ahead and Google this garbage. Iy was written about in many publications.
He is a shiny object of amusement and I’m glad everyone is talking about this garbage.
He was a patriot who was forced to become a traitor by an outlaw government. We all know what happened. The US government threatened China, just like they are threatening the few dozen countries Snowden may apply for asylum with. That forced Snowden to give the Chinese something so they would not extradite him to the black mailing US government.
This entire affair is all because of the US government and the outlaws who run it. Nobody's fault but theirs. If they had shown genuine concern for the privacy of their own citizens, and had pleaded with Snowden to come back to the US with full amnesty, none of this and what is going to follow would have happened.
If he had just stopped at the NSA spying on its own people and destroyed all data/documents he had regarding international relations he would have had more choices of nations to move to and would not have gone to China first, Russia second.
I do agree, the buck stops at Obama.
“Makes no difference. He had access to sensitive information and he claims he took it to China. AFAIC that makes him a traitor. End of story.”
Come on, TigersEye
You seriously can’t believe that Snowden had a pile of juicy spy secrets, and the Chicomms let him fly out of Hong Kong to Moscow, the No. 1 mortal enemy of the Chicomms.
You’re having a temporary logical disconnect, buddy. You’re smarter than that.
Those mortal enemies are having joint military exercises as we speak.
China, Russia to hold joint military drills July 01, 2013
Keyword phrase -
“China, together with Russia, is willing to enhance high-level mutual visits, professional and personnel exchanges...”
Translation: Chicomm and Russian ships will visit the ports of each country, and the sailors enjoy shore leave.
That’s not military exercises. I think you’re overreacting by miles.
I’m sorry you feel that way. AFAIC if he told the ChiComs what brand of cigarettes his boss smokes he should hang for treason.
There are worse traitors in the White Hut than Snowden is. So NOW Trump decides to get his panties in a wad? Sheesh.
Here you go, TigersEye.
It’s all about tourism.
“Xi said China and Russia, sharing a long border, are good neighbors, partners and friends.
“President Putin and I have agreed to identify expanding practical cooperation in various fields as a priority in the development of bilateral ties so as to provide an important driving force for improving the living standards of both peoples,” Xi said.
Tourism is a bridge between different civilizations and cultures, said Xi, voicing hope that China and Russia could take the hosting of the tourism year as an opportunity to foster tourism cooperation as a new highlight of bilateral strategic cooperation.

We need to be careful about misinterpreting innocent bilateral agreements to increase trade and tourism as forging hostile military alliances. Remember, too, that Buckwheat is pulling out our armed forces from various theaters, and other counties will need to move into the vacuum with their navies to ensure their security.
Always a pleasure to speak with you.
Best wishes to you and yours.
Trump is right. Once you ask “Who benefits from what Snowden has done?, you realize that the radical Leftists are the beneficiaries. They don’t want their infiltration of agencies and organizations to be tracked or the identity of whose with whom they communicate. He sought a job which would give him the data with which to squeal secrets. That’s a traitor. Michelle Bachman also has it right. Sarah Palin and Michael Savage are wrong on this.
