FBI Agents Visit Home Of Snowden’s Father

[Cali_Democrat]

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — FBI agents have visited the Pennsylvania home of a man whose son identified himself as the source of leaks about top-secret U.S. surveillance programs.

Two people left the Upper Macungie Township home of Lonnie Snowden on Monday afternoon. Snowden's son, Edward, is the focus of an investigation into the leak of classified information about two National Security Agency programs.

A man who showed FBI identification as he was leaving the home says they spoke to Edward Snowden's family. He referred further comment to the FBI in Philadelphia which declined comment to The Associated Press.

Neighbors on the quiet residential street say Lonnie married Edward's stepmother about six years ago. They never saw Edward at the house.

1. I still want to know where the girlfriend is.

Not for prurient purposes but just because I'm curious if there really IS a girlfriend and what she might think about all this.

2. I hope they find her safe. I hope he didn't do anything to her before he fled to Hong Kong.

That would really be one heck of a twist to the story.

3. There is nothing in what we know about Snowden that would give reason to have such a suspicion.

In all likelihood she is an innocent third-party, who is not keen on media attention.

6. Is this one of those rumors like: Rush Limbaugh is a drug addicted pedophile?

Because we know he's a drug addict and strongly suspect he's a pedophile. As for your insinuations about Mr. Snowden, I'd like to know where the seed of your rumor comes from?

7. It is not a rumor. It was just a statement that popped out of my head. And she was been found...

4. The girlfriend is in on it. Check out the time line

I'm willing to bet that she delivered the documents to the Washington Post reporter, Martin Gellman.

5. I thought I read he had a child too? Hope they're safe.
