  Sorry just to be clear the accusation is that he was effectively working for the Russians knowingly and the plan was to leak as much source and methods style information as widely as possible but under the cover of an independent whistleblower with the explicit goal of degrading US capabilities as much as possible. Essentially that his motivations were something entirely different to his version of events. It’s ultimately an impossible question to answer most likely. His stated motivations make sense on the surface for sure but I think there are still some big questions around assuming it’s all true, what steps did he take along the way to minimise unnecessary damage and I can’t recall much on that front worth pointing to.

    > what steps did he take along the way to minimise unnecessary damage He left that for a proper class of journalists. Articulate what (even category) of damage you feel he did, that wasn't also about .gov actions that were outright illegal, and/or being hidden from the very citizens paying the bill, and maybe you'll have a discussion here.
