The "report" was probably put together by the CIA which is the Department Of Misinformation... so there's that.

...just try to imagine how fucking bent against its own people a corrupt government has to be to try so hard to kill the whistleblowers

All these organizations care about is preventing another Snowden, and they've concluded the best way to do that is to show the lengths they will go to demonize a whistle-blower.

Effective and chilling. This is our country.

They have to do better than this. 21 blacked out points? If the secrets are spilled let us see the points. If this is true, we need more than truth is that we would never know how badly our Fourth Amendment was shattered without Snowden. If he did other bad things, the burden is on the law breakers who created this illegal system. Not on the whistleblower.

I’ve been in some rather diverse communities online and I have never encountered anyone who believes the government’s official stance on Snowden. Not a single person.

They must be out there. I recall Trump saying he considers Snowden a traitor. He probably wouldn’t say that unless he knew a lot of people felt the same way. I haven’t heard from any of these people outside of government officials and law enforcement though.

Is there a recent poll anywhere showing how average Americans feel on this?

I’m betting most Americans are barely familiar with the issue and don’t care. I think Trump denounced Snowden to win support from law enforcement on something no one else cares about.

NBC/CNBC/MSNBC is corrupt and should be archived in the OP. It doesn't deserve our support. Please keep this in mind for future posts.

I think that has always been a collateral duty.

I mean, I'm sure Russian spies got in contact with him, after he fled the country to Russia, as the safest option for blowing the whistle on illegal US government agency activity.

Maybe don't punish & threaten whistleblowers to where they have no recourse but to seek asylum with your enemies, if you don't want them fleeing to your enemies...
