"The chase is on," Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said Sunday on "Face the Nation," after the former National Security Agency contractor wanted by the United States for leaking top-secret government surveillance programs reportedly arrived in Moscow early Sunday morning from Hong Kong, where he had been hiding.
"I think it's a very big surprise," Feinstein said. "I had actually thought that China would see this as an opportunity to improve relations and extradite him to the United States. China clearly had a role in this, in my view. I don't think this was just Hong Kong without Chinese acquiescence."
The United States "doesn't know what happened," CBS News White House correspondent Major Garrett explained, having crafted under the extradition treaty charges that would be applicable in Hong Kong.

Snowden should just change his name to “Emmanuel Goldstein.”
China already knows more about US intelligence than most US Senators do.

Examples =
NASA
Los Alamos
[____] insert any other agency name.
I reserve the right to change my mind, but as of this moment, I’m loving it.
Maybe he fell out of a plane already.
Screw you, feinstien ... snowden’s gonn’a disappear and you won’t have HIM to cloud over the IRS, Benghazi, HILLARY! goin’ to jail, your boss getting fitted for orange and a slew of other stuff.
