3. Our criminal justice system is selective. There's no reason why they can't invite him back and not press charges.

Rather than transmitting information to foreign powers, Snowden handed over his electronic stash of documents to reporters from the Guardian and the Washington Post, with the stipulation that they treat its contents sensitively and carefully. Although the leak led to some sensational stories—Michael Morell, a top C.I.A. official, called it “the most serious compromise of classified information in the history of the U.S. intelligence community”—the journalists largely adhered to Snowden’s stipulation.


So does anyone here know when the journalists didnt adhere to his stipulation and what did they reveal that should probably not have been revealed?

8. False argument, Snowden can come home anytime he wants.

And face the consequences of his actions.

15. Dismiss all charges. Let him return if he so desires. He did far more good than harm.

We should start a poll about who we thing Barry will pardon the closer it gets to him being removed from the White House. I am pretty sure Snowden's name will be on there.

I vote for Bradley Manning and Bowe Bergdahl. Both of these oxygen-theiving @#$%s will be pardoned, especially Bergdahl, since the TOTUS used so much political capital to free his dumb @ss.

Since we're talking about pardons, anyone remember the Frank Rich pardon ?
The guy who ran that influence peddling criminal enterprise was awarded the post as Attorney General.

Obama will never pardon Snowden, because Snowden's revelations embarrassed Obozo himself.  He is a relentless persecutor of anyone who blows the whistle on him or his inner circle.

I'm with you.  He'll pardon those two, who committed capital crimes.  (Yes, DUmmie lurkers, selling classified info to anyone is treason, punishable by death.  Desertion in the face of the enemy is a crime punishable by death.)

Sadly yes, he will. I can see it happening, regardless of what Bergdahl's Article 32 hearing states. Once again, our CinC will spit in the face of the military and try and sell to us that it is raining.

But back on the OT, It is time for Snowden to come home.... in a pine box. The man gave up classified documents, I don't care what his reasoning, to people who had NO CLEARANCES or need to know. Period. If he was THAT concerned, he could have brought the stuff to his congresscritter or senator, but no, he HAD to go to the media. As far as I am concerned, he's an attention whore who's 15 seconds of fame are up.

Very true.
We can't have Bergdahl languishing in prison the rest of his life as a billboard for the failures of owebuma.
Nor can we have him as a martyr for the same reasons.
