I don't necessarily agree with how he did it.. But I agree that it needed to be done.

You should read up on why he's in Russia. You're missing some key information.

Isn't this Attorney General Lynch's call?

How does him getting himself executed benefit anyone?

He did what he did for fellow Americans, and that's that. Why does he have to die, too?

He knows that the government abuses its citizens. So why wouldn't he protect himself accordingly, after warning the public?

He's not that new, is he? Two years in?

I think he's between a rock and a hard place. Comey is one of the few people in government that seems to be trustworthy and level headed. But if there's a plea deal with Snowden, we may see more things revealed that put the country at real risk.

I have no problem with what Snowden did and the way he did it. He initially fled the country out of fear for his life. They waited until he was in Russia and then cancelled his passport so he couldn't leave. Unfortunately, I don't think it would be in his best interest to return even if the government said there would be no action taken against him.

By running off to China first and the Russia, he proved himself to be a traitor. He deserves nothing but long jail time.

He was not running off to either of those countries, he got stuck in Russia when the US pulled his passport, he was on his way to Ecuador.

You guys that are so harsh to judge him and thinks he acted recklessly, you owe it to yourselves to watch "Citizenfour". I can highly recommend it to anyone interested in the Snowden case.
