Edward Snowden leaked classified information because he didn't like a policy. Then he fled to Moscow, where you don't stay alive unless you help Putin.

Reality Winner leaked classified information because it was proof Trump committed treason with Russia. Give her the pardon.

Snowden has always been an Assange puppet, who in turn has always been a Putin puppet. Snowden's actions were a Kremlin plot to sabotage President Obama – and how many liberals fell for it? It's well past time to admit you were wrong, and that the Snowden thing was Kremlin op.

When a bunch of liberals gullibly sided with Putin's puppet Snowden over Obama, it created a schism on the left that ultimately helped put Trump in power. Look what that cost us. Want to fix things? Start by acknowledging that Snowden, Assange, and Putin played you.

The minute Snowden landed in Moscow, it immediately became 100% clear that Snowden and Assange were Putin's puppets, and the whole thing was a Kremlin op. But years later, too many of you still don't want to admit what's so painfully obvious.

By the way, if Snowden had simply stood trial instead of running to Moscow, he'd be out of prison by now. He could come home and probably get a short sentence at this point, considering he's basically served seven years already. But he doesn't want to. Because Moscow is his home.

I have zero patience for my fellow liberals who are still clinging to the fantasy that Snowden is a hero or a victim or even just in over his head. He's spent years doing whatever Putin has wanted him to do, as proven by the fact that he's still alive over there. Simple as that.

Hmm, I haven't had to block as many dipshits from this thread as I was expecting. Maybe the Trump-Russia scandal has finally opened people's eyes to just how thoroughly Putin tricked the left into turning on itself during the Obama years.

Anyway, free Reality Winner. As opposed to people like Assange and Snowden, she was working AGAINST Russia. She's served more than enough time, and she's clearly being singled out for excessive punishment by DOJ. That kind of retaliation is illegal.
