It seems clear that Snowden is indeed guilty of treason.

Just as the Founding Fathers were guilty of treason. Snowden is a patriot who risked everything to expose a rogue government that's on the path to dictatorship. His actions weren't for personal gain, they were to save America from its lying spying government. We should stand with him.

“Just as the Founding Fathers were guilty of treason.”

You need to learn some more detail in your history, the definition of treason, and probably about Snowden.

The closest analogy would be Benedict Arnold - except that Arnold didn’t succeed. Just because Arnold helped the revolutionaries earlier and established his bravery in the camaign to take Ticonderoga doesn’t mean that attempting to give over West Point wasn’t treasonous. Actually, Arnold has a lot more to recommend him to our favor than Snowden.
