Napolitano: No clemency for Snowden
[THEHILL] Former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Friday that she "would not put clemency on the table" for NSA leaker Edward Snowden.
Give him clemency, help him return to the USA, settle him someplace comfy, and help him quietly "decease."
"I think Snowden has exacted quite a bit of damage and did it in a way that violated the law," Napolitano said in an interview airing on "Meet the Press" this Sunday.
She said damage from Snowden's actions will be seen for years to come.
Asked if the administration should consider a deal that would allow Snowden to avoid jail time in return for unreleased documents, Napolitano said she couldn't judge without knowing what information the former defense contractor still had.
"But from where I sit today, I would not put clemency on the table at all," she said.
