Russia considering giving Snowden to US as ‘gift' to Trump
2017-02-11
[The Hill] Russia is considering handing over former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden as "a gift" to President Trump, according to a new report.

Russia sending Snowden back to the U.S. is one of several options Moscow is considering to "curry favor" with Trump, NBC News reported Friday, citing a senior U.S. official who had analyzed intelligence reports on Russia.

NBC noted a second intelligence community source affirmed the intelligence, adding it had been gathered since Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration.

Ben Wizner, who is Snowden’s American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) lawyer, said Friday he is unaware of plans to return his client home.

"Team Snowden has received no such signals and has no new reason for concern," he said.

Snowden is facing espionage charges for leaking classified information in the U.S.

#9  ...so just another globalist actor or tech millionaire who opines about Trump-Hitler but lives in gated communities and sends their kids to private schools while saying the rest of us must house and feed the world in our own abodes?

#3  Embrace the power of 'and'. How many Taliban did we give up for the army deserter?

#2  Good idea, Besoeker, but I'm thinking more of a 10 for 1 deal; you're 3 plus Soros, a Clinton or two, Pelosi and a few more.

#1  I was thinking more along the lines of a trade, a prisoner swap as it were.
