Another user posted a link to snowden's CIA service record - if you had intellectual curiosity vs trying to keep people on the plantation, you would have looked it up yourself & not bothered to ask for it to be posted again. Where is your 'proof' that he was not acting at the behest of the CIA? Once a CIA agent, always a CIA agent, & snowden was/is a CIA agent... You & 'blacksunfun1' have an inexplicable fancy for defending snowden's honor...
"prove that snowden didn't act on behalf of the CIA"
Edward Snowden, like all of us, is innocent until proven guilty- of all assertions, including your own.
my time is special (as should everyone's be) - you want me to look at a service record? link it yourself- you are, after all, the one making the argument here. otherwise, you haven't countered my argument, you're making someone else do your legwork.
further, simply stating that someone "worked for the CIA" is not in and of itself an assertion that someone acted on behalf of the CIA when they went rogue against the government itself.
'you are, after all, the one making the argument here.'
I'd argue that we are both making an assertion - mine is that snowden is not trustworthy & yours is that he is trustworthy. Use some of your 'precious time' to perform your due diligence - I've done mine & arrived at my conclusion. Nothing I say will change your mind, the only one capable of doing that is you.

"prove that trump didn't collude w/ russia"
is the same type of argument as
