Pelosi: Snowden should 'come back and face the music'
Source: San Francisco Chronicle
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says fugitive Edward Snowden — the intelligence analyst who blew the whistle on National Security Agency data-gathering of millions of Americans’ phone records and other surveillance — should not be granted clemency, but should “come back and face the music for what he did.”
Pelosi, D-San Francisco, who serves on the House Intelligence Committee, was asked about Snowden during a meeting Monday with The Chronicle’s editorial board.
... “I’m not at a place where I think he should be coming back with clemency,” Pelosi said. “I think he should come back and face the music for what he did … (but) the music shouldn’t be the death penalty or life in prison.”
... “If he is a patriot — as he supposedly is — he will come home” and use the opportunity to make his case to the public, Pelosi said.

Yes, I would love for the Chimperor to be behind bars, but let us not get kindergarten about this.
So the people advocating political violence are correct? People who disagree with us should have their teeth kicked in?
Sad.
How could she even think of saying such a thing?
Is she leaving her Dem Party Behind for something ELSE. 
You certainly spend a lot of time claiming giddiness from my posts.
People will say we're in love. 
Of course it's important that the word, "fascism" be mocked in *any* context, as though it could not possibly happen here. Just like it's important to mock the implementation, in the United States of America, of a mass surveillance state aimed at citizens; militarization of our police forces; criminalization of investigative journalism; persecution of whistleblowers and journalists; assaults on the Constitution; and subversion of our democratic government for corporate power and profit at the expense of the people....
...All these things must be painted by both corporate Republicans and the corporate-bankrolled Third Way as mere politics as usual.
By the way, I was just teasing above. I understand that if you hadn't come to deride the word, "fascism," another of the full-timers would have stepped in and handled that for you.
Happy Banking. Happy Third Way. 
Remember if the sky is falling, it only hurts if you are below it
Quoting for posterity. 
Out to get honorable Democrats like Clapper and Alexander! 
ps - and the 10/11 Reagan/Bush FISA court judges! 
I have a high regard for both but Warren was a Republican for most of her life and sometimes I think she forgets which side she's on, or maybe her staff does. And Sanders is in a league of his own.
(As others have pointed out here.) Sheez.
