Snowden: Donald Trump could get pal Putin to kick me out of Russia

[FarCenter]

NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has warned Donald Trump, as US President, may do a deal with Russian leader Vladimir Putin to extradite the whistleblower.

In an hour-long, live-streamed video interview on Periscope with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey today, Snowden said the US had trapped him in Russia when it cancelled his passport. The ex-NSA IT nerd added the incoming White House administration – which has better relations with the Russian government than the Obama regime – may be able to get him kicked out of the country and delivered into the hands of Uncle Sam.

"It could happen, sure, but am I worried? Not really – I am very comfortable with decisions I made and know I did the right thing," he said.

"If my personal security was the only thing I cared about I never would have come forward and revealed myself in public. I would have stayed at NSA making an incredible amount of money for very little work and [would] be spying on you."

Up until now the US had worked hard to keep him in Russia – even going so far as to force down the President of Bolivia's private jet to make sure Snowden wasn't trying to flee. Snowden said he may also have to leave because he criticizes the Russian administration.

2. Well, Snowden did say that 2016 was a choice between Donald Trump and Goldman Sachs.

I hope Donald Trump works out well for him. I hope he enjoys his treason trial. AG Sessions will prosecute him and SoS Tillerson will have his pal Vladmir extradite him.

4. Trashpot doesn't give two shits about Snowden. Probably doesn't even know who he is lol n/t

5. If the war between the CIA and Agent Orange continues...

I expect Snowden will stay right in Russia.

6. Fat chance.

It was Assange who led him to Russia in the first place, and Assange who helped Pooty-poot install Orange Julius Caesar.

9. that wouldn't be putin's style.

to give the appearance that they are not working together, putin will have trump demand snowden's extradition, and then putin will publicly refuse. then trump can say "see. we're not buddies!"
