Karma: Russians may "reward" Traitor Edward Snowden for all that work trashing Hillary.

[RandySF]

U.S. intelligence has collected information that Russia is considering turning over Edward Snowden as a "gift" to President Donald Trump — who has called the NSA leaker a "spy" and a "traitor" who deserves to be executed.

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.

Snowden's ACLU lawyer, Ben Wizner, told NBC News they are unaware of any plans that would send him back to the United States.

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

Snowden responded to NBC's report on Twitter and said it shows that he did not work with the Russian government.

2. I heard about that earlier today. In fact it was a headline in some news paper.

Putin give Trump a gift. The return of Snowden to the US"

3. Trump will probably try to give him a ticker tape parade...

4. Part of a larger plan

Putin "cooperates" with his puppet Trump by sending Snowden back to the US. Putin thereby benefits in two ways. First, the ensuing brouhaha takes the focus off of the Flynn/Pence/Russian ambassador story. Second, the return of Snowden allows Trump to bray about Putin's willingness to work together, giving him a reason to lift sanctions.

6. This was a win for Putin.

7. Looks like Putin has gotten all Snowden has to offer and he wants to put the zero to the curb.

8. a little naive on Snowden's part...they don't exactly warn people before they disappear them.

they just show up and shove a black bag over your head and be done with you.

Would anyone be willling to share links with me on what determines whether Snowden was good or evil? I have read all I can find about him and I just end up being really confused.
