My understanding is that some of the secrets Pollard revealed ultimately ended up in the hands of the ChiComs.
Once you lose control of secrets, there’s no telling where they wind up.
Pollard, assuming his guilt, deserved to go to jail. The only issue then is why we keep him there so much longer than others who did same thing. But since Obama has spied on Bibi so much now that Bibi can’t even discuss affairs of state with his staff in his office in Jerusalem ( except in a special secured secret shielded room), same with chancellor Merkel in Berlin whose phone he bugged, and other allies of USA. Obami spies on our allies while he gives arms and money to almost any sworn enemy of America ( so long as it is a islamoNazi type terror gang). By their fruits you shall know . See also new international poll that America is now the number one threat to world peace as see. In both Europe and Asia. I don’t trust polls but the problem is clearly resident in Washington DC now.
Snowden is offering to provide information on classified US programs to foreign states, in return for compensation.
Sounds like treason to me.
