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.
Hopefully these sources are wrong.

Why? I'm not disagreeing, I could just see multiple reasons for being happy/unhappy about this.

Because I don't think he deserves to either be executed or spend the rest of his life in prison, which is what Trump will do.

If they were going to do this, it would have been done by now.

Oh, ok. Well, if we really think Trump will do that, then good, send him back.

Well he won't be executed because the Feds abolished the death penalty, but yeah he's definitely going to be underneath Leavenworth.

I kinda agree. And so do many Trump supporters. I don't think that would go over well.

This kind of information doesn't get out without a calculated reason.

I'm apathetic about him. Everybody with an ounce of common sense already knew the NSA was tapping everything they could tap and had been for years.

I have never heard of this "trial by president" before. Please, explain this legal process to me.
