The FULL Snowden Interview

Here's my full interview with NSA Whistleblower Edward Snowden — it’s the longest interview I've ever posted.
——
----
I once was unsure if Edward Snowden -- who leaked documents showing that the NSA spied on Americans -- was a hero, or a traitor who made us all less safe.

Now I've done my research, and I think he's a hero. What do you think? Our full interview, above, will help you decide.

I served in the US Army for 24 years. We were all taught that "I was following orders, " was not a defense of wrong doing. We were obligated to refuse to follow illegal orders. Snowden saw what happened to others who tried to report illegal activities. Snowden did the right thing. Mr President, please pardon Snowden.

When a whistleblower is treated as a criminal we know we are run by criminals

Edward Snowden is not a whistleblower, he’s a f””king American Hero! PERIOD

[KarenHahn-gh]

Every American must listen to this interview. The truth is startling.

[ellenharrow]

Snowden was a whistleblower for ethical, justifiable reasons. He took the chance that, through his actions, he might suffer gravely, and yet he still acted. This is a true heroism.

[KCRunner]

I was in the military when he exposed the NSA and I just couldn't believe what he did and I hated him for it. I felt betrayed by him, like he somehow put my life in danger. That's kind of the message that was put out to us.

After getting out and realizing more and more of the government's lies, I can appreciate what he did. I think he should be pardoned because he stood up to a system that was wrong and that shouldn't make him a criminal.

Snowden should receive a full pardon. He's a whistleblower not a criminal!

Mr Stossel, let's not forget Politicians Swore an Oath to the Constitution, yet they
break that Oath time & time again.

[hosmerhomeboy]

Snowden isn't a traitor; the government has become one.

[johndennison]

God bless this man, he needs a full pardon. He is a patriot

[hollyambrose]

Watching this in 2024. You’re probably better off than we are. God Bless

They would have Epsteined him if he had gone through "proper channels"

[robjames]

Most employees would never say a word about criminal activity at any of these alphabet agencies. With the fear of losing their jobs or pensions it's easy to keep employees mouths shut. Snowden is a rare individual.

[vaportwo]

This man right here, is a true American hero. God bless you mr. Edward.

So many people choose "to see no evil, hear no evil, say no evil" because of fear.

Pardon Snowden and Assange, arrest the liars.

[Somalia]

He's a hero and true patriot, Edward Snowden should be pardoned.

[renovationrestore]

Bring Snowden home under pardon Mr Trump. We need his skill and values back at home

[siphodeus]

A pardon implies guilt. Any charges against Snowden should be dropped.
