Russia considers giving Edward Snowden as 'gift' to President Trump

What the government may do in this case does not reflect what is popular. The last poll showed 30% wanting a pardon and 29% wanting prosecution. https://twitter.com/snowden/status/816770175710195717?lang=en

If this was a sane society, that valued freedom and liberty, those numbers would be 98% to 2%.

I hope Snowden can get away to another country if possible before the Kremlin gives him up...

Snowden willing to serve prison time for US return


Edward Snowden is willing to serve time behind bars as part of a deal with the US government that would see him able to return to the country, the National Security Agency whistleblower reportedly said in a new interview.

During an interview with BBC Panorama, Snowden said that “of course” he was ready to spend time in prison in exchange for a return to the US, according to the Guardian. He told the interviewer that, in fact, he himself had “volunteered” to submit to a jail sentence.

“I’ve volunteered to go to prison with the government many times,” he said in the interview, which is set to air on Monday evening. “What I won’t do is I won’t serve as a deterrent to people trying to do the right thing in difficult situations.”

Despite Snowden’s apparent willingness to spend at least some time in jail, the former NSA contractor said the Justice Department has yet to respond to his proposal.

“We are still waiting for them to call us back,” he said.

If its fake news then you are calling Snowden a Russian spy? Snowden says that this is evidence he is not a Russian spy.

1.Since the cold war era days Russia/US has never traded away any spies. And Russia would not trade Snowden for better relationships.
2.Snowden already gotten an Russian Citizenship.

Look at what Snowden said in the tweet.

"No Country trades away spies, as the rest fear they are next"

If he goes others will follow.

Not true, they traded those Russian spies who were in New York for some Americans.

2.Snowden already gotten an Russian Citizenship.

Not true. He has temporary asylum which they have extended twice.

To even apply for citizenship Snowden must be in Russia for five years. He still has more than one year to go- assuming he wants to apply at that time. Not a citizen yet. His permit to stay in Russia has been extended to 2020.

As for trading, the US and Russia traded spies as recently (as far as is publicly known) as recently as 2010 (see first post on this page).

In a sane society it would be 100%. But if we have a plurality on something we might as well make noise about those things for a change instead of being defeatist about everything.

I dont agree with you on anything as of these three past years.

No no no. You must be stupid. Snowden wasn't an trade.

He already has a wife, job in Russia.

So you actually believe everything MSM tells you now?

I never said Snowden was traded. I said the US and Russia have traded spies in the past which does not rule out Snowden being traded for somebody in the future.

That's OK. I don't agree with you on anything either but might want to check your supervisor's publications.

“On the first of August he received a three-year residence permit,” lawyer Anatoly Kucherena told reporters.

He added that Snowden had not asked for political asylum.

“He will be able to travel freely within the country and go abroad. He’ll be able to stay abroad for not longer than three months,” Kucherena said.

The former NSA contractor will be able to apply for the Russian citizenship in five years.

“A foreign citizen, who got a residence permit, will certainly be able to apply for citizenship,” Kucherena said.

Edward Snowden has not yet made up his mind whether he wants Russian citizenship.

“By all means he is homesick," his lawyer said. "It was hard for him to find himself far from home, especially for the first time. Of course, in the future Edward will make up his mind on whether to stay in Russia and apply for citizenship or to leave for the US. He hasn’t done this yet.”

He has a girlfriend but isn't married. She is a stripper from America (pole dancer http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/02/23/edward-snowden-girlfriend_n_6735448.html ) Unless you can prove otherwise.

Snowden fine, speaks Russian, still single – lawyer

Kucherena added that according to his information, Snowden has not married yet and is not planning to do so anytime soon.

Is that what citizenship means in Russia now? Welcome, here are wife and job, comrade!

So you actually believe everything MSM tells you now?

I'd love for you to tell me your plausible alternate reality for Anna Chapman that does not involve her being a spy.

Am I overlooking something, or did I misunderstand your statement? Neither link says shes a stripper. The first says she's a model and a dancer... The image is an image from her pole dancing.

Some strippers are pole dancers, but not all pole dancers are strippers FWIW - she's not much of a pole dancer, I'll give you that. The ones I've seen are quite spectacular, with and without clothes:
