Trump wants to execute Snowden. I say give Snowden his job and see what happens. Snowden is a hero.

You seem to want to post ANY BS that forwards your POV even if it is a scam site.
You just got punkd.
@sonhouse saidSo the very same website says their website is a scam? LOL!

I agree.
It is all about context, not that an alleged chat forum is really evidence of anything. Besides, Snowden is a whistle blower, not a leaker. There is a difference.

You've made a career in these forums straddling the "fine line". And unsurprisingly, you also have spent a lot of time deciding where that line is. Naturally, you think you're the one with the "white hat". Also, unsurprisingly, given the level of your credibility here, almost no one ever agrees with you and it's always because you are trying to define your own "fine line".
Snowden leaked classified information. Let's judge him by his own standard. Regardless of the content of what he leaked, he has broken the law and damaged US security. While the damage that he caused may or may not be on a par with what Julian Assange has done, what he's done is neither legal nor "morally responsible" as some would have it. He was an employee of the NSA, and federal workers need to be held to a higher standard. We still don't know the extent of the damage, or exactly what he's told Russia or China, two countries with which we have enormous difficulties in cyberwarfare. The US is less safe because of Edward Snowden and he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
@suzianne saidBS. The "classified information" Snowden revealed to the American public was of activities that the US government had no business doing. Here's a link for you to educate yourself: https://mashable.com/2014/06/05/edward-snowden-revelations/#DDxoDsUoFPq4

Glenn Greenwald of the Intercept received the info from Snowden. The latter insisted on limits as to public disclosure:
Greenwald said the journalists were handed some 9,000 to 10,000 secret documents under the condition that they avoid disclosing any information that could harm innocent people, and that they give the NSA a chance to argue against the release of certain classified materials.
“We’ve honored his request with each document we’ve released,” Greenwald said. “In most cases, we’ve rejected the NSA’s arguments as unsubstantiated, but always gave them the opportunity for input, and will continue to do so.”

This program disclosed by Snowden were found to be illegal:
A U.K. spy agency’s bulk collection of telecom data violated the European Convention on Human Rights, the European Court of Human Rights ruled Thursday.
The Strasbourg-based court found in a 5-2 ruling that the practice, first revealed in documents leaked by former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden in 2013, failed to safeguard rights to privacy guaranteed under the human rights convention.

We know a lot more about the massive snooping that the government does because of Snowden. He deserves a medal, not a prison cell.

The point being that a lot of things that are classified are not essential to US national security, but kept secret from the People for political reasons.
EDIT: Right now, Donald Trump can classify or declassify anything he pleases at his sole discretion. https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2017/may/16/james-risch/does-president-have-ability-declassify-anything-an/

Trump is a Russian colluder and needs impeached but Snowden should be President.
Got it!
@whodey saidI never said Trump was a Russian colluder. Russia is standing by Maduro. Trump is against Maduro. That should bring an end to Russia/Trump conspiracy theories, but I doubt it will.
Indeed.

The post that was quoted here has been removedDuchess doesn't seem to realize all nations cooperate to some extent. Collusion means to work together secretly, especially in order to do something illegal or dishonest. There is no evidence of that, just a lot of partisan driven suspicion.
