Considering Snowden committed enough felonies to be in prison for 500 years you tell me.

I'm pretty sure George Washington violated British law many thousands of times. The law is set up to create shadowy non-transparebt government which is antithetical to liberty.

Oh for fucks sake. George Washington didn't steal British intelligence then run off to France and give it to them. Snowden is criminal scum. George Washington did what many do when they feel they have no representation in government. Throw it off.

Yeah, but he signed papers confirming he knew this was a crime, what the punishment is, and was required to sign that he understands how to raise concerns. You ever been in a secure area? I've had a clearance. I've also walked around at NSA headquarters. There are placards everywhere telling you that if you see something say something and who to say it to. We have had lots of whistleblowers over the years for three letter illegal behavior. They didn't steal classified data then globe hop to pass it to our two largest adversaries.
