Ex-Mayor Michael Bloomberg: Prosecute Edward Snowden [View all]

Mark former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg down in the #Traitor camp.

In an exclusive interview with “Meet the Press” host David Gregory, Bloomberg said NSA leaker Edward Snowden should be prosecuted for releasing classified documents, calling the data dump a dangerous move in a dangerous world.

Bloomberg was weighing in on revelations from Snowden’s exclusive interview with “NBC Nightly News” anchor Brian Williams, which aired this week. Bloomberg’s interview will air on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday.
