...

"Snowden found a gross violation of the constitution and blew the whistle"

"He did it the way he did because he saw what happened to people who tried to do it the "right" way"

And of course lastly, the government wouldn't think of leveling a charge against him to hide their own malfeasance, no that never happens.

Of course, the judicial system in this country is so corrupt only a fool would expect to get fair/constitutional treatment, none of the other whistleblowers did.

Snowden did what he had to do. He could not have done it any "better" way. He has made sure that names of operatives and such are not revealed, and that intelligence gathering methods are not revealed. One wonders just exactly what you and folks like you think he should have done.
