Not true. And Hillary was 100% correct about Snowden. Those who think that naive hypocritical douche is some sort of hero are a wee bit short on reality brain cells.
There are distinct opinions. If you are comfortable with the government having the ability to go through your life arrest you without charge and imprison you without trial you should see Snowden as a villain. Granted the chances of that happening are slim, however, many people feel they are not. If you feel that the countless million secrets are important for the functioning of the society in the world we live in then so be it. Many agree. However, we know for sure that absolute power corrupts absolutely. If you have any doubts ask any number of leaders in the "free" world who were wiretapped and spied on. See what they think. While it's easier to dismiss Snowden as a "douche" your word...instead of actually thinking what he did (in my opinion) catch the NSA in a criminal conspiracy.
However it plays out, his actions have changed the country and the laws. His impact now and in the future will be significant. I don't know about you, but I would not be as poised as he was if the NSA and governments around the world were after me...you?

A hero acts without regard for the consequences.
"A hero acts without consequences". Tell me how a guy who first works for the NSA (and somehow isn't sure of what they do exactly), steals information, breaks the law and his contract completely and then gives it over to the media (of whom only really care about ratings), and then runs away to hide in a country with the absolute opposite culture of what he claims he is protecting, is somehow anything remotely akin to hero??
Oh, and all the while endangering the lives and security of Americans. What a tool.

Snowden has done more to help Americans fight a tyrannical government than anyone in the past 200 years
Many of us knew what was going on BEFORE THIS SO CALLED "SNOWDEN" revealed all this stuff!!
Who knows if 'snowden' is the guys real name.... IM SERIOUS.... WE DONT KNOW ANYTHING BUT WHAT THEY TELL US! (What they want played out (Which is unreliable))
What isn't a joke is that Snowden will do time should he ever set foot back on US soil, and its likely that Hillary will be the next President.
Ahh. So you have judged him guilty before he has had a trial by a jury of his peers as is his right under the US Constitution.
I wish people were joking when they judge others as traitors while completely due process guaranteed by the US Constitution. Unfortunately there are too many, as demonstrated here, who apparently see no issue with this for partisan reasons.
She's such a joke.
It's pretty insane that she says he should do jail time when in fact she should.
Snowden for president
Hillary and Snowden, two peas in a pod.
