Is he a liar? He looks like one.
Personally, I don't think the constitution would allow the NSA to do anything like that anyway.
>Alphabet Soup agency
>Following the constitution
NSA is spying on everybody (Hi guys!), ATF wants all your guns etc etc
>>53775897
Yeah sure, the government would kill him for telling stupid little 'lies'.
He's a traitor and hopefully once Trump is elected and repairs our relationship with Russia we can see this fucker get what he deserves.
> that molely neck
Gross desu
For all we know he's still working with the gov't and this whole fiasco is leading to something else. We just don't know, anon.
>>53775897
At least put some effort into it.

You fuckin idiot, America wouldn't be what it is today without traitors. We are a nation born of government traitors and each one that exposes corruption or a lack of ethical standards in the government comes with it sweeping change and call to action that improves us as a whole. People died for gay rights and equality in Russia and it didn't do shit. Guess what, all it took for the same rights to be instated in America was a little bit of gumption and the will to believe change can be made. Edward Snowden knew that he would be remebered as a hero whether or not he died. He sacrificed his citizenship and risked his life for the sake of the people because he believed that the actions of the NSA were unequoivically immoral and deceptive. I bet you don't even have the balls to speak out against your government. You probably sit in your computer chair all day pretending to be just as well educated and dedicated as the majority of the men and women that make up our government. You disgust me, and you should be disgusted with yourself.
He is a liar, I store every personal file on Dropbox and I never got spied on.

It's still incredibly funny to me that one of the reasons America became a country is because the brits taxed tea too much.
you know, he actually promised to hand himself over under the condition he gets a fair trail. The answer was a letter where they promised him he wouldn't be tortured.
Are you implying the NSA gives a fuck about the Constitution?
The only thing he could possibly be lying about is whether or not he gave copies of the data to China and/or Russia. I don't believe he did, but even if he did it's still the NSA's fault for starting these kinds of programs and providing him with the opportunity in the first place.
>>53777603
If you believe that was the main reason you are an uneducated retard. But then again this IS 4chan afterall.
Its like believing that main reason for WW1 was assassination of austrian duke. Yea right.

>thinking rights are there for everyone not just white/wealthy aristocrats
oh boy
Yes, he lied about everything for no good reason just to have to move to Russia to evade the consequence of death by espionage.
.. Edward Snowden is probably one of the most honest people to come out of this mass, discreet violation of the 'right' to privacy. You obviously see the watermarks on the leaked documents, what more do you need? It would be mental and inane to lie about the smaller details. Moreover, the government wouldn't even give much of a shit if he was just spreading bullocks. He'd just be fired and that's it.

How do you know?
>>53781584
Yeah. He should have stayed and lived the rest of his days in a Supermax instead.
>>53777659
He shouldn't come back even if he does get a fair trial. The average citizen is a pleb who doesn't understand the weight of this whole situation. The media painted him as a traitor to the US and the uninformed and technologically challenged just ate that shit up. He would almost certainly be convicted. It's better for him if he's over there. And at least he can still communicate with us to some extent. You can't do that in prison.
Also the Government could just lie, say they'll give him a fair trial and then just not do it. It's not worth the risk.
>>53781584
Dumbass State Department pulled his passport during a layover in Russia. He didn't have a choice.
In any case, given every Western Country's proclivity to bend over for the American dick on command, what choice in countries did he really have? Western Europe is so afraid of America that they grounded a presidential plane because there was a slight suspicion thst Snowden might have been on the flight.

There's no "public benefit" defense under the espionage act. The statute is binary: either you released documents or you didn't. The fact that the documents undercovered unconstitutional acts by the government is immaterial, as is the fact that he took extreme measures to ensure only the documents of public benefit were released.
The only way he would receive a fair trial is if the statute is fundamentally altered.
>>53775897
have you ever read a History book, you fucking retard?
Have you even read the fucking documents?
1) Yes, the NSA spyonage is true.
2) No, by law, our fucking Constitution, NSA has forbidden to do what they please, specially to US citizens.
3) NSA can only act freely if the government approved it by using the 9/11 law, this means, you have to be considered a potential terrorist in order to be spied by the NSA.
>>53781669
He knows that he'll probably get convicted. He just doesn't want to go to prison for 35 years like Manning in a secret trial. Manning is still tortured by the way.

The NSA was already wiretapping all phone calls and text messages before 9/11.

>, you have to be considered a potential terrorist in order to be spied by the NSA.
jesus christ the amount of FUD in this thread is absurd
anyone who thinks there aren't government misinfo agents posting here just needs to look at this thread

>you have to be considered a potential terrorist to be spied by the NSA
That's so wrong, idk where to start.
The NSA logs all internet data and can query it at will, with virtually no oversight.
https://theintercept.com/2015/07/01/nsas-google-worlds-private-communications/
The NSA is building the largest database on your activities and sharing it with local cops routinely.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2016/03/10/surprise-nsa-data-will-soon-routinely-be-used-for-domestic-policing-that-has-nothing-to-do-with-terrorism/
The NSA routinely violates even the most lax restricts on its power. Including 2,776 violations in 2014 alone.

Lastly, these programs have done fuck all to stop any terrorist attacks, despite their devastating cost in civil liberties.
