Some say this was a CIA hit on the NSA. I don’t know if it’s true. What do you think?

I always thought Quito, Ecuador was an odd choice. He might have been safe from legal extradition, but it seems like he would have been super easy for the CIA to snatch.

“...and didn’t bring any copies of the files with him.”

I wonder where they ended up?

Perhaps he never had any intention to stay in Russia, but he’s there now, and that proves he was ALWAYS a Russian agent...at least by Neocon standards.

...and yet he and his minions or puppet masters fought against everything Trump did, and stole the last election from Trump, and raided his home...

Julian Assange said in 2011 that Afghanistan was a money laundering operation and never ending war.

Now that is over the Ukraine war showed up and is the new never ending war.

… Snowden is in Russia because the Obama administration deliberately trapped him there.

No it didn’t.

Snowden isn’t trapped, he can return to the US any time he likes.

If he has the integrity.

Why would he? So he can be railroaded into federal prison?

So he can be treated worse, if that’s possible, than the folks from Jan 6?

How many people think he handed over MILLIONS of copies of Super Duper Top Secret documents and files to the Chinese and Russia? Many on here, yet they have not one shred of evidence. On this matter they believe the same government that said Donald J Trump was a Russian spy and that very same government launched an illegal surveillance operation against the man. The same government that raided Mar A Lago. The same government that sent 20-30 FBI Agents to lock up a preacher for a year old “incident” that the locals didn’t even touch.

Yeah.....that government.

From the article......

When he left Hong Kong after meeting with journalists Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras and turning over hundreds of thousands of stolen files, Snowden’s ultimate destination was Quito, Ecuador.

It’s important to note that Snowden says that, before leaving, he destroyed his cryptographic keys that provided him access to the files, and didn’t bring any copies of the files with him.

What information was in those files? That the US government was spying on whoever they wanted, whenever they wanted, for whatever reason they wanted.

So, in this case, what the government and media says is 100%, bona fide TRUTH. But that same government and media lie about everything else. Got it.

He won’t go to prison unless he broke the law.

You know, the laws enacted by us through our representatives and the ones we all agree to abide by.

If he doesn’t like our society’s legal system he should stay somewhere with a more fair one, like Russia.

But he’s not stranded, it’s his choice.

“He won’t go to jail unless he broke the law.”

He did break the law. Only a fool wouldn’t acknowledge that. However, I’m completely ok with his violation of the law and if I were on the jury I’d be voting for Jury Nullification the first minute I was on it. The same way I would if a father whacked the guy that had molested one of his kids.

And I’d be pushing for the guy to get the Presidential Medal of Freedom and I’d be calling him as a witness against leadership in the IC community during their trials for Perjury.

So, what’s it like to be a Deep State shill on FR, reporting to your handlers about all the Conservative Thought that takes place on this site?

Since you use a ‘knickname’ like everyone else, why not feel free to let us know who you work for: FBI, DIA, CIA, DOJ....In the words of your President, c’mon man.

Best way of getting rid of headache Snowden is Putin should conscript Snowden and send him to the front lines in Ukraine.
