Snowden's father offers deal in letter to Holder

The Hill ^

[Revolting cat!]

How's about busting rocks at the penitentiary in Leavenworth for 50 years?

Nice to finally find somebody on Free Republic who agrees and supports Obama and Holder!

[aMorePerfectUnion]

It is impossible for Snowden to get a fair trial in the USA.

Traitor is a word the government is throwing around. The people who are spying on the rest of us. It’s good you show us which side you’re on.

[Hardraade]

Selling your family to Obama seems to be standard.

[justa-hairyape]

Yeah right. No one on this planet trusts Holder. No one. Heck the Mexican Drug Lords do not even trust him now. They were supposed to get many more guns and US citizenships by now.

[Resolute Conservative]

Only if he busts them next to Holder and Jarrett.

[Resolute Conservative]

Like they didn’t know already? Really? The American people are the dumbasses here. Trust me our enemies and allies know exactly what we are doing.

[Chickensoup]

Why?

[Carriage Hill]

GFY, Snowden²

[alancarp]

Old school thinking here: this is a case where critical national secrets have not only been compromised, but are being revealed with no conscience involved about the possible implications or consequences. Let me put this plainly: it is very likely that people actually supporting the United States will die because of what this rogue is doing.

So yeah - if we actually had a real President who cared about things like this, we wouldn't be talking about leaks like this weeks after the initial event. Instead, he would have been found and dealt with - one way or another. You deal with treason directly and swiftly. If not, then you have no security at all. Ever.

[Amberdawn]

Exactly. Since when do suspects have the right to demand things? Whether one supports what Snowden did or not, he made a choice and now he has to deal with it.

[Chickensoup]

Problem, we have had treason going on at the highest leves for a long time in the US. And there has not been any sort of dealing with it swiftly...or at all.

Not seeing that Snowdon revelations will compromise anyone.

However the information does compromise the US leadership.

His dad is a smart political operator.

Return with NO GAG ORDER...?? Such a deal struck with NarcoGunSmuggler ERIC HOLDER...?

This dad UNDERSTANDS his proposal will be rejected indeed it was DESIGNED to beRejected.

The impending rejection makes them look bad, and bad is what Holder has been since birth.
