Right or Wrong regarding his conduct.... What happen to a citizens right to confront charges in open court. If the government can keep this “secret” the Constitution does not exist, it’s only a facade.

Snowden openly admits he will never see his home again. He knew the cost.

Now, Americans know what the government attempted to hide all these years. BUSTED!!! and they don't like it.

Thank you Snowden, thank you for exposing these criminals up in government.

They chose to make the charges in Virginia which is the base for Booz Allen.

If they were smart they would have filed them in Hawaii where he committed the crimes.

Americans are as mad as hell and they can't take it anymore. After the 2008 bailout, there were Tea Party protests as well as Occupy Wall Street.

Snowden is tapping the same anger as in 2008. Americans have had it with the enslavement of their elitist masters.

Bring him to Virginia and the crowds of protesters will show up to support him.

The unwashed masses are not stupid and they do not like Big Brother nor do they trust Barry,Juan, Goober, Nancy, Harry, Diane, or Tricky Dick Cheney who tell them that they should relax and trust Big Brother and his overwhelming spy state.

Try him in Virginia and I say you have a bigger and more coherent protest than those occurred after the Wall Street shenanigans.
