Btw, Snowden released some things we needed to have known - and that’s a good thing...but he went far beyond that well into treason.

I don't believe that he did, and even if he did by the very Constitution that defines Treason the actual details (not some nebulous he compromised operations BS) would have to be revealed to the jury and the case made that such information was levying War against them [the States], or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort because No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The real treason is committed day in and day out by the apparatchiks at the NSA, FBI, & other myriad bureaucracies who piss on the Constitution without the slightest hesitancy or regret.

Snowden is a hero, not a traitor.

I question his motives and if he was working for a foreign entity. It seemed pre-meditated.
