Yes no,
> Snowden was charged with theft, “unauthorized communication of national defense information” and “willful communication of classified communications intelligence information to an unauthorized person,” according to the complaint. The last two charges were brought under the 1917 Espionage Act.
- riku_iki 4y ago"Yes no" what? Government can charge him with whatever they want, it is up to court to decide if charges are valid.
