will give him a listen, i have mixed feelings about him. He did expose the unconstitutional practices and spying on US citizens, had the balls to give up his 6 figure lifestyle for that but also on the otherside dude is super arrogant, narcissistic and really embellishes himself saying he was a CIA spy and all this chit when he was an IT guy

His story is not beleiveable in the slightest.
Hes just some narcissistic azzhole that the govt got to beleive he was some kind of special whistleblower, for the kind of chit people already knew the govt was capable of.

How can you possibly read through this list and think he didn't leak anything new.

i think what he did was a good thing but something doesnt sit right with me with him as a person. Hes EXTREMELY arrogant and relishes in the spotlight. True heroes dont view themselves as a hero, he clearly does.

As to whether he should be pardoned we dont know the full extent of what he put at risk. You realize that under 1% of what he took from the secure networks was ever released in the media. He took hundreds of gigabytes or something like that and they only published a small amount. We dont know what information he put at risk to our adversaries so it is impossible to say if he should be pardoned without the full story.

Literally loll at worrying that he could have risked our precious safety that the NSA gives us when the cost was our privacy and freedom. Mentality like that is exactly why we're heading towards authoritarianism. Obey and they'll protect us.

Snowden didn't start out as a firefighter, cop, or medic. He was thrown into a situation, he thought it was wrong, and exposed it. That doesn't get rid of any personal/character flaws, he is still the same person. You can be a hero and have chitty personality.

Or you can just expose them to the people they're supposed to serve and protect.

And it helped get the USA freedom act in, which helped reform provisions of the Patriot act.

Klayman v. Obama
U.S. Federal Judge Richard J. Leon ruled bulk collection of American telephone metadata likely violates the Fourth Amendment.
ACLU v. Clapper
Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled that the call-records program violates Section 215 of the Patriot Act.
