content: Because he is a liar. He stole over a million documents, which would have taken him years to sort through. He took them straight to Russia, and a few weeks later a few hundred incriminating documents popped out. Do the math. The numbers only work out if Russian analysts sorted the documents for him, and choreographed an anti-American press campaign. The numbers only work out if domestic surveillance was a drop in the bucket. The so-called whistleblowing was a cover story for Snowden's massive spying operation. Note that I am not taking about whether the whistleblowing is true or false, wicked or virtuous. I am taking about why the Russians funded him to do it. It was to steal the millions of secret documents. Every time he says he only took a few documents to help the country he is lying.
