Would an American Jury Even Convict Edward Snowden? - Conor Friedersdorf - The Atlantic

Not if I was on that jury it wouldn't.

Not if I was on the jury.

We all know that there would be no chance of a trial. Snowden would be "Hastingsed" and end up in a burned out car on some city street, after having smashed into a tree that showed no collision damage.

Russian Migration Official: Snowden May Be in Danger
July 29, 2013 — A Russian Federal Migration Service official said he believes it's best that former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden remain in Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport because he is a wanted man and is safer there. The United States has promised Russia it will not seek the death penalty if Snowden is returned to America to face espionage charges.

Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden has been holed up in Sheremetyevo Airport for more than a month as he awaits temporary asylum in Russia. Snowden’s lawyer says his application for asylum has been submitted to Russia’s Federal Migration Service, or FMS, and it’s now a wait and see situation.

Vladimir Volokh, head of the FMS's public council, said if Snowden leaves Sheremetyevo, Russia can’t guarantee his safety. "I don't think it is good for Snowden to travel freely in Russia, as he is wanted now," Volokh said, adding that he thinks the safest area for Snowden is to remain in the transit area at the airport or in areas under the jurisdiction of the FMS.

Volokh’s comments came as Washington promised Snowden wouldn't face the death penalty were he expelled to the U.S. In a letter to Russia’s justice minister, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder assured the Kremlin that the criminal charges Snowden faces back home don’t carry the death penalty. Russian President Vladimir Putin has so far refused to extradite Snowden, saying he is a free man.

Snowden’s lawyer says that once the former NSA contractor has the documents to leave Sheremetyevo he’ll be seeking to establish a life in Russia, at least for now. The dispute over Snowden is the latest between Moscow and Washington. The two sides continue to disagree over a myriad of issues including missile defense, Syria and adoptions.

Unfortunately, we will never know.

Snowden's not important enough for that.

Maybe his will be the next circus trial. It depends on if Democrats or Republicans can spot a way to gain an advantage from it.

So, you would choose not to follow the rule of law. I'm glad to see you have no respect at all for our laws. See, we know Snowden broke the law. He leaked classified information which he swore to keep secret. It was in the job description, and he knew the consequences of breaking that law. Why do you think he ran?

He committed a crime. I would not consider it treason at this point, but he should go to jail for a while.

 

[Mr. H.]

He's a little fuck, just like Assange.

Gandhi stated that when society is evil, the place of the righteous is in prison.

Not sure Snowden is righteous. But we will never know because he ran.

Of course you can get a jury to convict him, you just need to find jurors that meet the following criteria:
1. Weak and pathetic
2. Have been wronged by others in life (seeking revenge)
3. Uneducated
4. Think they are or can be a lawyer (wannabe lawyers)
5. Misguided patriots

GUILTY !!!

The bigger question is why was Snowden hired. He was vetted by a private service (privatizing America which is a Republican objective) and there is a question whether the girl that vetted him was qualified to do her job.

Just another Republican fucking of America?

 

[The2ndAmendment]

No.

But he wouldn't be in an Article III Court to begin with, he would be in an Article II Court (military court), where the Sovereign of the Article II Courts (The POTUS) would have considerable influence.

He swore an oath to defend the constitution. That is all he did. Perhaps you should reread and study the 4th Amendment. The only Laws he broke were laws passed by corrupt politicians seeking to protect their power. The supreme law of the lands, the land that protects the PEOPLE, is supreme. He swore an oath to protect the nation first.

He ran because he knew he was not going to be tried by a Grand Jury of his peers, but rather a government kangaroo court. Does anyone honesty think that a jury of his peers, familiar with the Fourth Amendment would convict him?

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

This post is out of character for you. Are you feeling alright today?

It isn't often you post something that makes sense and isn't morally corrupt.
