The truth would prevail. Isn’t that what the weasel was fighting for? Navalny faced your “justice”, because he’s a true and actual hero of his nation. I can assure you, any true patriot would walk down Navalny’s path. Not Edward Snowden‘s path of treason and cowardice. I have no love for Benedict Arnolds.

The truth already came out the day his material was released. He’s been isolated from his country, culture, family, everything he knows and loves and has to fear every day will be the day the US figures out a way to kill him or bargain with Russia to hand him over to death/lifetime imprisonment via a kangaroo court. He hasn’t sacrificed enough? He’s one of the few patriots. The traitors are the ones working for and especially managing these unconstitutional illegal programs that continue to this day.

  We don't have a kangaroo court waiting for him. This sacrificial lamb has easy street waiting for his crimes compared to Navalny. Navalny still returned home without fear, and may lose his life for it. Yet his spirit, unlike Snowden's, will live forever and cannot be killed. That's a hero vs a coward. Navalny inspires me, an American. Equating the US and Russian justice system is hilarious. We could kill any traitor, anywhere we so chose to kill one. He's safe and running from justice in Russia, but he's not safe from the blade. The government chooses to spare him. Never underestimate the long arm of Uncle Sam. I for one, think it's best that his true character is revealed through his self-imposed exile. He's too selfish to come home and bring attention to his cause. He's all about himself, and he hasn't suffered a lick, yet. He has spent a lot of time running though. And don't call him that. He's not American. Benedict Arnold died in England, hated by both the Americans and English. Even the British who benefitted from him didn't respect a man who would betray his own people. He died a traitor's death just as Snowden will.

    > He's all about himself Wrong. He had a nice life in Hawaii with a big paycheck. If he was all about himself he wouldn't have done what he did, his life would have been far easier. The proof that it's a kangaroo court is that he's being charged in the first place when what he did wasn't a crime.

      I can tell that you like to live in your own reality. He violated the Espionage Act. He is a foreign agent, he won't say but supposedly now has Russian citizenship. Quite the patriot, seeking shelter in one of the least free and most oppressive European nations he could find. He harmed the US and the UK, and assisted China and Russia. I realize you want to make that coward & villain out to be a freedom fighter, but I already provided a real freedom fighter. The comparison is stark. William Wallace didn't hide in Paris or Berlin. Neither did the modern day Wallace in Navalny. They stood in their homeland like men. Snowden? Good for a laugh, and will go down in history as such. He was just a boy who ended up harming, and outright turning on the nation he was supposedly liberating, then hid from the consequences.

        It's odd and suspicious that you have so much hate and vitriol for Snowden while the silence is deafening on the highly illegal, democracy-destroying programs he exposed. He should be protected as a whistleblower, not prosecuted under the Espionage Act. He exposed crimes by the US govt whose severity and scale are hard to overstate. That should be your concern, not where he lives, that's an irrelevant diversion from the real topic. Snowden as a person doesn't matter, at all, 0%, the only thing that matters in this discussion are the crimes he exposed. Or how about James Clapper not being in prison after he lied about these programs under oath in front of Congress.

        Why change the subject constantly? I was responding to- ask the average person who Snowden is And I told you who Snowden is. A coward, and a traitor to his former nation and people. He's easily exposed by looking at his actions. I have no position stated here on your various rabbit holes of whistleblower vs espionage, etc. I'm not a Constitutional scholar as you believe you are. What I can assure you, the ACLU and others would be more in front of abuse of power than you or some nerd here could ever pretend to be. Should he return "home" to show his courage, to follow through in his beliefs like actual national heroes have done throughout history. He harmed US and UK national security. He won't admit it (why would he, he won't even face justice in the "nation he loves") but they believe he handed over his harmful material to the Russians and Chinese for their protection. The guy is a Benedict Arnold, a scumbag, no matter how you slice it. Just because you like part of the information he exposed on surveillance doesn't change the rest, nor what the whole of his actions have revealed about his intentions and character. You've been duped by a false prophet.
