Legal protection did not exist for him at the time. According to Snowden himself: "President Obama also reformed a key executive whistleblower regulation with his 2012 Presidential Policy Directive 19, but it exempted intelligence community contractors such as myself". The other side of this is that, should he get total leniency from the US, it gives tremendous precedent to future intelligence leaks which, right or wrong, can harm legitimate intelligence efforts. This is because compartmentalization means that not one person has access to all of the context and tie-ins behind intelligence data. So, by revealing a ton of it, like Snowden did, not only does that person shed light on something that may be totally illegal, but can also impact legitimate operations and endanger lives. Heck, just look at the (apparent) panic happening over the documents Trump had locked up in a basement somewhere. They are going after a former president. Who is Snowden? You know what I mean?
Snowden is a pawn for Putin. No laws were broken. Had Snowden stayed, he would have done some time and got out, instead of hiding in Putin's bedroom. He exposed nothing of value.

To the front - of course Russia will never mistreat Snowden by sending him to his death for Mother Russia, and Snowden is too much of a coward to ever defend Putin’s dictatorship.
Both Manning and Snowden did the right thing the wrong way. They should have went to their respective Inspectors General and resigned their positions and found lawyers. When you’re no longer able to uphold you oath because you think you’re involved in carrying out illegal orders, that’s how you do it. You most definitely don’t give classified material to the public and seek refuge in a foreign country. It might not end well for you but at least you’re not a traitor.
Who cares why Putin did it? Snowdon and his family have cheap oil for heating in the winter and plenty of affordable food. I guess the joke has turned out to be on the EU, UK, US, and friends.
Putin talks about the matter in the Oliver stone interviews he did a few years back - part 2 specifically . he didn’t want to give Snowden asylum initially and felt giving him citizenship would dissolve relations with the US. I would recommend watching to get a good background on all that is going on at the moment ( part 3 is a little tricky to find )
The talk about conscription of Snowden was just a stupid hit below the belt by this official. Since when did he start caring about Snowden's well being?
The tone sounded a shade of "and he can die in the war for all I care", so I didn't get the sense he was interested in how his *life* is going... Do agree it came off petty
Putting aside whether the comment was callous or petty, it was just plain silly. I doubt the Russians would want to put Snowden anywhere near the Ukrainians where he could be captured and handed over to the US on a silver platter as a big thank you for all the weapons we've (rightfully) been sending to them.
And what exactly is it that you see? I see a vast, selfish, unrelentless unforgivingness that is pinned up against a pinch of forthcoming wisdom and selflessness; seemingly destined to be snuffed out by the barrage of hate that is so easily subscribed to.
Snowden has said it for years. Give him a fair trial where he can actually say why & what he did in court. And he'd love to return to the US. He hasn't because he can basically be jailed without a public trial. Or the ability to actually defend himself. Whenever this comes up. The story always tries to spin or hint at Snowden helping Russia. While failing to mention any of the backstory.

Lets look at reality, contrary to your Trump Derangement Syndrome and false narratives about Trump and Putin/Russias relations. Lets look at the FACTS and STATS of when Trump was President and how US & Russia Relations were. Under Trump we ... - Trump administration Renegged on nuclear agreement with Russia and Putin in place since the cold war - Trump administration put hardest and heaviest sanctiouns on Russia, Ever. Even more than Obama ever did. - Trump arms Ukrainian backed seperatists in Kiev and Ukraine to indirectly and directly fight Russia - Trump expelled all 18-19 Russian Diplomats after the 2016 election Meanwhile Liberals and democrats and far left NPC's like yourself still cry " TRUMP AND PUTIN " years later, despite the facts and information showing exactly the opposite. Loser.
Exactly. (And Russia is doing really, really well since the NATO country sanctions on the country: cheap oil, affordable food, reasonable cost of living.
All these "patriots" in the comments make me laugh the only reason the government wants him so bad is because he exposed them and they don't like citizens that do that lol
Right. Because a junior level staffer accidentally revealed tons of classified materials and then accidentally ended up in Moscow. 🙄 And, if you believe that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
_"Heroes"_ save lives, not put other lives in jeopardy like Snowden did. _"Heroes"_ figure out ways to resolve problems with the *least* amount of fallout and collateral damage. Snowden, very far on the other hand, thinks the world is a theater; a theater for him to live out his idyllic and dramatized illusions. *But of course* Vladimir Putin, an enemy of the United States, would grant Snowden, a *pawn,* Russian citizenship.
What hero? It's he speaking out and protesting against the war in Ukraine? Why isn't he exposing Putin the way he "exposed" the US military. Iraq is child play compared to Ukraine, where is his moral objections now?
The guy literally destroyed his life in order to do the right thing and we continue to punish him over being a good guy. It's such a complicated mess but ultimately he was exposing illegal activity within the government. The activity was illegal, he did the right thing. Case closed. Let the guy in the country and let him and his family live their life in peace. It's very clear from the hours of interview footage I've watched that he is a kind guy and just wants the mess to be over. This is what happens if you are a good person who sees something and says something. He saw illegal activity within a government organization and exposed it. This should be rewarded, not condemned. My heart breaks for what this guy has had to go through. Enough is enough. Let the guy back into the country. It's very clear he's not intending to harm anyone or cause any further trouble. He can be a white hat hacker for our side and live his life as one of the good guys which he has always been.
Putin “good news comrad Snowden, Grant you citizenship”, “ better news is you will be able to fight for the Fatherland as a Russian national, please report for duty for your weapon and body bag”
It's more the case that Snowdon, his wife, and his baby will be eating lots of food purchased at reasonable prices, have plenty of energy to heat their house or apartment this winter, and live in a country with a strong currency. Lucky them.
I don’t think he wanted this, but they failed him, and this is his only chance to live normal again, America and it’s citizens really failed him, Snowden for president 2024
God, are you really stupid? I spat out tea from laughter like a Russian when the presenter said that I could mobilize Snowden in Russia. This is nonsense. No one will mobilize him here. He is not in the reserve of the Russian army, like millions of other Russians. And the mobilization has long been over, a new one is not planned yet
@Denis Zhevak Snowden is a wild card but has many dangerous and valuable skills. Where does his loyalties lay, and end? Would he turn on the US and support Russia?
@@jocelynnproulx6743 I don't think Snowden has any important information. He shared all the information he knew. Maybe he has some projects with the Russian government, but I don't think it's important. The dude, it seems to me, lives his life in Russia earning money at all sorts of conferences on Internet security. Personally, I believe that he is in Russia out of the kindness of Putin's soul. He does not bring any special benefit, it's just a pity for his fate if we deport him. He is a smart IT specialist, he could do more for Russia, but he does not.
This speaks volumes on the character of Russia and the people. American citizens are fed up of rich billionaires but they are blindly following them and it is terrifying.
Most of it is probably outdated by now, if they didn't instantly change up procedures when he released them. I doubt he has anything of value to Putin it's just for the political imagery.
How stupid to think he would be conscripted to fight in Ukraine. He's more valuable in a tech lab working in the FSB or other Russian intelligence services.
Remember the good old days when it used to be Russian dissidents? When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime you are being governed by criminals.
We will see. Putin can use him some other way. He is a valuable person. He will not likely waste him as some foot soldier. We hear he took 700 guys from a factory. These are expandable I expect. Tragic that war. He needs to stop it. Ukraine is getting their land back. Respect to them. Putin needs let go of that invasion. It is not working out.

Is that still true after mar-a-lago?
What’re the measurable factors from bad to worse to worst index?
They found the Steele dossier...
Did they even consider Hillary Clinton's illegal e-mail server ? I heard that spies were outed, and, killed from that.
Someone got their talking points. Mar-a-lago is all BS, and nothing will come of it.
Just like James's witch hunt.
🤭😵💫😂 I sincerely feel bad for you people.. 💙
We don't know if Dump leaked some of the documents or just destroyed them.
An American patriot and hero! Free Julian Assange!
Congratulations Snowden!
Snowden is a hero, disavow state propaganda.
Can we apply for Trump and send him to be with Putin whom he admires?
Putin didnt invade Ukraine with Trump moron. He did with Obama and Biden.
Putin doesn't want that orange turd anywhere near him!
God no. Think of all the classified info Trump will give to Putin. Trump belongs in the United States... Federal Prison.
@@mailfraudvoter6620 wow I just can’t get over what a siiiick burn this was 😂🤡👈🤭
Lets look at reality, contrary to your Trump Derangement Syndrome and false narratives about Trump and Putin/Russias relations. Lets look at the FACTS and STATS of when Trump was President and how US & Russia Relations were. Under Trump we ...
- Trump administration Renegged on nuclear agreement with Russia and Putin in place since the cold war
- Trump administration put hardest and heaviest sanctiouns on Russia, Ever. Even more than Obama ever did.
- Trump arms Ukrainian backed seperatists in Kiev and Ukraine to indirectly and directly fight Russia
- Trump expelled all 18-19 Russian Diplomats after the 2016 election
Meanwhile Liberals and democrats and far left NPC's like yourself still cry " TRUMP AND PUTIN " years later, despite the facts and information showing exactly the opposite. Loser.
Now Snowden and fellow Russian, Steven Segal, can hang out together
😂
And Roger Waters...
What about WNBA coach Becky Hammon, who played on the Russian Olympic Team ?
Not sure there's enough room in Segal's egoverse to accommodate Snowden.
No, Steven Segal is loyal to Iran, I believe.
He should come back, haha. I wish him all the best in his life with his family.
Biden would lock him up and make him get these toxic jabs.......the ones that give young men , myocarditis.
He should flee to Kazakhstan or something.
He should be exiled to siberia and start a socialist revolution against america hahah
It's a shame, the United states lost a great citizen because they are too stuck up to admit they were wrong 😮💨
Why don't you do a story on how I can get groceries without taking out a loan
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Exactly. (And Russia is doing really, really well since the NATO country sanctions on the country: cheap oil, affordable food, reasonable cost of living.
EDWARD SNOWDEN is a HERO not a villain
He's a traitor by his actions and the letter of the law. Hope he gets drafted into pooteen's meat grinder.
Good for him!
Snowden is a true American hero. I’m glad someone stood up for what is right.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
An enemy of corrupt government, but a hero of the people.
All these "patriots" in the comments make me laugh the only reason the government wants him so bad is because he exposed them and they don't like citizens that do that lol
Right. Because a junior level staffer accidentally revealed tons of classified materials and then accidentally ended up in Moscow.
🙄
And, if you believe that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
If he can keep his conscience and expose his new home country government corruption too.
@@bridgetcollins7969 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s true that their worst crime was telling the truth.
Snowden and Assange out of the picture nobody left to report crimes against humanity?
Sounds like americas plan went perfectly
*Still confused as to why Snowden isn't treated like the American hero he is. At the very least he deserves a pardon.*
Snowden is a hero! He highlighted who the criminals are in government!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
_"Heroes"_ save lives, not put other lives in jeopardy like Snowden did.
_"Heroes"_ figure out ways to resolve problems with the *least* amount of fallout and collateral damage. Snowden, very far on the other hand, thinks the world is a theater; a theater for him to live out his idyllic and dramatized illusions.
*But of course* Vladimir Putin, an enemy of the United States, would grant Snowden, a *pawn,* Russian citizenship.
I find it intriguing that she didn't mention why he is a wanted man. Edward Snowden is a HERO!
What hero? It's he speaking out and protesting against the war in Ukraine? Why isn't he exposing Putin the way he "exposed" the US military. Iraq is child play compared to Ukraine, where is his moral objections now?
Haha so he can draft him probably. He's running out of human lives
My thought exactly. Poetic Justice.
wrong..listen to the vid... No draft for him
Ukraine are the ones using cannon fodder with only 6 weeks training,russias partial mobilization will only be people of former military experience...
Sad that a citizen had to run for his life after exposing corruption in the government..
He is a hero of the Russian Empire and is right where he belongs.

“Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it.”
-Mark Twain
The guy literally destroyed his life in order to do the right thing and we continue to punish him over being a good guy. It's such a complicated mess but ultimately he was exposing illegal activity within the government. The activity was illegal, he did the right thing. Case closed. Let the guy in the country and let him and his family live their life in peace. It's very clear from the hours of interview footage I've watched that he is a kind guy and just wants the mess to be over. This is what happens if you are a good person who sees something and says something. He saw illegal activity within a government organization and exposed it. This should be rewarded, not condemned. My heart breaks for what this guy has had to go through. Enough is enough. Let the guy back into the country. It's very clear he's not intending to harm anyone or cause any further trouble. He can be a white hat hacker for our side and live his life as one of the good guys which he has always been.
Face justice for telling truth, but DC are the good guys?
"it's a trap!"
Putin “good news comrad Snowden, Grant you citizenship”, “ better news is you will be able to fight for the Fatherland as a Russian national, please report for duty for your weapon and body bag”
You really think they're going to send him to fight? He has too much useful knowledge and expertise.
It's more the case that Snowdon, his wife, and his baby will be eating lots of food purchased at reasonable prices, have plenty of energy to heat their house or apartment this winter, and live in a country with a strong currency. Lucky them.
@@betsyj59 If you truly feel that way, then feel free to go there! Lol. You have absolutely no idea how ignorant you are.
I don’t think he wanted this, but they failed him, and this is his only chance to live normal again, America and it’s citizens really failed him,
Snowden for president 2024
Is Snowden in Russia now?
God, now he can be drafted...LOL
Cope and seethe. Snowden is an American hero and isn't going anywhere. Enjoy the show in Ukraine, Edward won't be a part of it.
lol my first thought
He might be right about everything he says, but he still jumped from the frying pan into the fire.
Why? The second he steps on US soil they will imprison him.
He lived 9 years longer than he would have. I’d say that was a good call.
I was born in America and I love my country, but Snowden is a national hero
Send him to the Frontline
Glad that he was given citizenship
But he does have military experience! He was a special forces candidate but couldn't complete training due to an injury
They said he has no experience in Russia. Listen before forming a thought
God, are you really stupid? I spat out tea from laughter like a Russian when the presenter said that I could mobilize Snowden in Russia. This is nonsense. No one will mobilize him here. He is not in the reserve of the Russian army, like millions of other Russians. And the mobilization has long been over, a new one is not planned yet
@Denis Zhevak Snowden is a wild card but has many dangerous and valuable skills. Where does his loyalties lay, and end? Would he turn on the US and support Russia?
@@jocelynnproulx6743 I don't think Snowden has any important information. He shared all the information he knew. Maybe he has some projects with the Russian government, but I don't think it's important. The dude, it seems to me, lives his life in Russia earning money at all sorts of conferences on Internet security. Personally, I believe that he is in Russia out of the kindness of Putin's soul. He does not bring any special benefit, it's just a pity for his fate if we deport him. He is a smart IT specialist, he could do more for Russia, but he does not.
This speaks volumes on the character of Russia and the people. American citizens are fed up of rich billionaires but they are blindly following them and it is terrifying.
OK, so you support an authoritarian dictator, got it....
Snowden would end up in Epstein's cell
I love freedom so i dont think we should get Snowden...also I live in Chicago...in the winter i don't want to get snowdin.😊
I'm so happy for Snowden!
Congrats Ed.👍🏻
Oh, now that you’re one of the team, there’s a war on.
Don't worry, he won't be called up, it's already been said.
Just in time to call him up for the army !!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s funny btw, but Russian officials already told that he can not be mobilised cos he didn’t serve in the military as a recruit
@@Yurasaurus If he cannot be mobilised it is for one reason and one reason only: Putin's orders.
Of course Putin granted Snowden citizenship!! He's probably sharing a lot of Intel to Putin.
Most of it is probably outdated by now, if they didn't instantly change up procedures when he released them. I doubt he has anything of value to Putin it's just for the political imagery.
God that’s dumb.

Another vote for "God that's dumb." Another vote against watching too much Mass Media.
@@daveragt You mean Fox, Oan, The Hill, Dennis Praeger, Hannity??
Yep!! You're right!!!🤡
should have given him a pardon. we lost the initiative on this battle. its embarrassing the country.
How stupid to think he would be conscripted to fight in Ukraine. He's more valuable in a tech lab working in the FSB or other Russian intelligence services.
It is so sad that he needs to fear for his safety, or that he would not get a fair trial if he should return to his own country. He's a good man.
Remember the good old days when it used to be Russian dissidents? When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime you are being governed by criminals.

"Birds of a feather flock together."
Snowden is a great American that told the truth about our government and big brother
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT PUTIN and MR. EDWARD SNOWDEN! 2 AMERICAN HEROES! Love You 💘💖💗💯❤️🇺🇲🦸🏽🦸🇺🇲❤️🇷🇺❤️🙏🌏🌎🌍💚
He said he would go back for a trial in front of a jury of his peers but the US won't give him that
exactly. keep preaching the truth
especially after this, if he wasnt a traitor before he certainly is now
@@Rylus571 the timing is off, that's for sure, but that could be as much down to putin as him. The US should just give him a fair trial but they won't
I laughed at the thought of Snowdon pushing up sunflowers in Ukraine.
So he exposed US secret on principle then go join Russia? I like to see him protest the war in Russia on principle.
He'd get less than what you get in the US for protesting the gov't. At least Russia has speedy and fair trials.

"Here are citizenship papers, Ed ... and here is gun. Good luck in Ukraine! Enjoy special new-citizen honor of going to front of line!"
We will see. Putin can use him some other way. He is a valuable person. He will not likely waste him as some foot soldier. We hear he took 700 guys from a factory. These are expandable I expect. Tragic that war. He needs to stop it. Ukraine is getting their land back. Respect to them. Putin needs let go of that invasion. It is not working out.
He's in no condition to fight a war lol
