EDWARD SNOWDEN CONDEMNS TRUMP'S FIRING OF COMEY, THE MAN 'WHO SOUGHT FOR YEARS TO JAIL ME'

Edward Snowden, a man with plenty of reasons to cheer FBI Director James Comey's ouster, is criticizing President Donald Trump over his firing. "Set aside politics: every American should condemn such political interference in the Bureau's work," the exiled former CIA employee tweeted Tuesday afternoon following the news that Comey had been fired.

Snowden tweeted about his own relationship to Comey five minutes later. "This FBI Director has sought for years to jail me on account of my political activities," he wrote. "If I can oppose his firing, so can you."

Snowden, who currently lives in Russia, fled the United States after leaking classified information regarding the National Security Agency's surveillance programs. Federal prosecutors, led by Comey, filed charges against Snowden in June 2013.
