  Sacrificing one’s entire life to live in exile to expose is criminal government is plenty honorable. Frankly as a non American I don’t know why you’re weighing in so strongly on this.

    I think revealing the wrongdoings of the US government was honourable, but fleeing to Russia was a bigger dishonour. You don't have to agree, it's a matter of opinion, really.
