Why Obama won't pardon Snowdon

[Abu Pepe]

"Whether Snowden’s theft was an idealistic attempt to right a wrong, a narcissistic drive to obtain personal recognition, an attempt to weaken the foundations of the surveillance infrastructure in which he worked, or all of the above, by the time he stepped off that Aeroflot jet in Moscow, it had evolved, intentionally or not, into something much simpler and far less admirable. He was disclosing vital national secrets to a foreign power. Conjectures about Snowden’s motives matter less than the undeniable fact that he was greatly assisted in his endeavors by powerful enemies of the United States."

6. Seems Comrade Eddie is an agent

He only worked at Booz Allen for a month before he stole the files and fled.

Tell me that wasn't planned.

He was turned.

Here's another link with more details on his lies on how he got into Russia.
