That's according to a senior U.S. official who has analyzed a series of highly sensitive intelligence reports detailing Russian deliberations and who says a Snowden handover is one of various ploys to "curry favor" with Trump. A second source in the intelligence community confirms the intelligence about the Russian conversations and notes it has been gathered since the inauguration.

KEYWORDS:
Hoever this "Senior US Official" is, is at least as guilty as Snowden.

Besides, Snowden did the American people a great service, all this official did was expose the fact that we can intercept internal Kremlin discussions.

I have not heard Trump called Snowden a traitor.

Would like to have some verification of this.

Nothing I have seen leads me to believe Snowden is a traitor. He appears to have released documents exposing crimes against America being committed by parts of our intelligence community.

Did his actions put any lives in danger (other than the criminals)?

“That’s according to a senior U.S. official who has analyzed a series of highly sensitive intelligence reports.... “

Doesn’t sound like he’s very good at keeping secrets.

Cory Louie was forced to resign or fired a week ago. I suppose it’s just coming out now.

Russia is too generous.
We need to show “good faith” and give them something -
How about GEORGE SOROS?
