Then why have you allowed a meme of Hitler saying "Sieg Heil" to stand for three years when its from a like minded member????
It's good to know that KKK content is allowed though.

A few quotes from Snowden:
"I would rather be without a state than without a voice"
"No system of mass surveillance has existed in any society that at this point has not been abused".
"Nothing is deleted".
I think every American citizen who treasures privacy and freedom, owes him greatly. What he has done is 100% heroic.
Chelsea Manning, Julian Assange. Susan Lindauer.

Chelsea Manning, and Snowden were trying to do good for the American people. They should have gone through proper channels like these current whistleblowers did. That is why the House Intelligence Committee is straining to find enough corroborating evidence that it does not become necessary to make these people testify in person. Keeping this whistleblower procedure intact is more important than almost anything the government does. When the Administration complete stonewalls all documents and all relevant people from testifying, that's when truth breaks down. That is what is happening now.
Julian Assange's motives seem a lot more suspect. Why leak the contents of just one party's emails? Why use the Russians as your hackers?

What about that girl (the one with the odd name) who leaked some earlier vital documents, pertaining to Trump's corruption? She is doing 5 years in Federal prison right now.

My Two cents is that seems a little harsh since important current news stories may contain photos of demonstrators with such graphics as might old historical photos relevant to current topics.

Did you ever think that Snowden might be a self-serving egotist/narcissist engaged in self-promotion? It looks to me like he is just trying to garner sympathy. I doubt that he gave much thought to the consequences of his actions. Let him stand trial and prove me wrong.

Reality Winner was her name. All she did was leak a classified document about Russian interference in the 2016 election. Snowden likely leaked documents that put peoples lives at risk.

No. Another quote: "I understand that I will be made to suffer for my actions". He released his files on September 17th. Know what day that is? Constitution Day. Snowden would never get a fair trial; you can bet your last cent on that.
You are way off thinking he wants to "garner sympathy". He saw how our own government had ignored the Constitution (4th Amendment), abandoned due process, and was spying on it's own citizens.
Senator Frank Church warned us back in 1975 that when the spy apparatus was turned inward toward Americans, we would not be a free society any longer.
