I think you missed a lot of the phrasing: > supposedly gained access He was an IT administrator who had Sudo access to pretty much everything. I’d be careful of a lot of the stuff you read in 2013. There was and still is a concerted effort to discredit Snowden and make people feel he is a traitor. Example: why did they cancel his passport after his plane left for Russia? (To say he’s a Russian spy) There’s a lot of examples of this. Highly recommend some of the documentaries on the subject I and some recent discussion on the topic.

If he wasn't a traitor then he wouldn't have fled to Daddy Putin's arms and don't act like I'm wrong because that's the same thing Hillary Clinton said during her campaign. Then you have Trump who as Putin's asset would jump at the chance to pardon Snowden if he wasn't 100% criminal. The only politicians who support Snowden are Putin assets like Tulsi Gabbard who is actively trying to subvert the Democratic Party. That's why Wikileaks lied about the DNC subverting the election because actually it was Russia. Next thing you know the Russia controlled Libertarian Snowden defenders and jokes like Ron Paul will be in control of the United States of Russia. You should watch the news and be aware of all of this, but I guess HN is just a breeding grounds for fake news stories.

  "You should watch the news and be aware of all of this" says it all. You watch far too much TV, all of these points are laughable and your phrasing suggests you are rather emotionally involved in all this. I would suggest staying away from the 24-hour news cycle and finding better sources of information.
