re: So our new Sec of State want's Edward Snowden executed

Snowden is a traitor. He should be executed

So we reflexively believe and repeat law enforcement and the political establishment’s smears about Snowden, but when it comes to their claims about President Trump and Russian collusion, they’re corrupt liars and effectively trying to implement a coup?

People like Snowden and Assange have done more for the cause of government transparency than all our members of Congress and Presidents combined. If you want transparency in government, especially the intelligence community, it takes acts like Snowden’s to awaken the populace, because the government sure as hell isn't going to expose itself. If you want to drain the swamp, you aren’t going to do it with reflexive platitudes from our nation’s most fervent autocrats.
