  Oh it was very serious what he did. But it was odd he went to Hong Kong then to Russia on his was to Ecuador. It wasn’t well thought out

    It wasn't odd at all the list of places he could flee to was very limited because of his job. It's more odd that some people don't give him the same benefit of the doubt they would a whistleblower from Russia or China.

      He didn’t have to flee at all

        What a weird argument. Sure, he didn't "have" to, but I don't blame him for not wanting to spend years (decades? life?) in prison for doing something he believed was morally right.

        Just as some Chinese people want Ai Weiwei to rot in prison, some Russians wanted Navalny to rot in prison and some Americans wanted or still want Snowden and Assange to rot in prison.
