Snowdon is a dummy

This was one of the interview’s most unintentionally revealing moments because, while the agency’s domestic data gathering raises serious privacy concerns, Snowden’s question can be turned back on him. Can he point to a single American who’s been harmed by the NSA’s actions?

The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads as follows:
“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.”

Section 99
Working as an agent for an intelligence service

(1) Whosoever

1. engages in intelligence activity for the intelligence service of a foreign power against the Federal Republic of Germany which is directed toward communication or supply of facts, objects or knowledge; or

2. declares to the intelligence service of a foreign power or one of its intermediaries his willingness to engage in such activity,

shall be liable to imprisonment not exceeding five years or a fine unless the offence is punishable under section 94, section 96(1), section 97a, or section 97b in conjunction with section 94 or section 96(1).

(2) In especially serious cases the penalty shall be imprisonment from one to ten years. An especially serious case typically occurs if the offender communicates or supplies facts, objects or knowledge which have been kept secret by an official agency or at its behest, and he

1. abuses a position of responsibility which especially mandates him to safeguard such secrets; or

2. through the offence creates the danger of serious prejudice to the Federal Republic of Germany.

(3) Section 98(2) shall apply mutatis mutandis.

So, how can he release more documents relating to Brazil or Britain if he gave them all to those various people?

What's up with that statement coming right after saying he would like to live in Brazil, is he trying to entice Brazil into offering him asylum?

If you were a young male, Revelette, and given the choice of spending the rest of your life in exile in Russia or on the beach at Ipanema...which would you choose in a heart beat?

Besides the fact that it's just a temporary asylum which will end soon.

He has no passport...and really cannot go anywhere else.

Put him on a Russian warship and deliver him to Brazil is about the only safe way to move him outside of the borders of Russia given that the US had already have a head of state plane force down to checked if Snowden was aboard.

Putin would have to make that decision.

What's in it for him?

What is in it for Russia?

Why would extending the term of asylum not be a better choice?

[...] Range decided to take the more difficult route and showed that he intends to exercise the powers of his position in accordance with the rule of law. This is a fact that Germany's allies will have to put up with. Range's message is clear: Spies in Germany, regardless of where they are from, should not feel safe when they break the country's fundamental laws. [...]

SourceThey'll get a fair trial.

You have not taken note that the relationship between the US and Russian is not at a friendly point and the US had placed economic sanctions on Russia and Russia in turn are threatening to have our astronauts walking to the space station.

So giving the finger to the US in a manner that a large percent of the world would support is what would be in it for Putin.

Looking forward to the trial.

Obama?

You mean, he was sitting in a dark room in the embassy in Berlin and listening to Merkel? (He has diplomatic immunity as head of state, btw)

It will take some time with the investigations, I think, and I won't bet,if there will be a trial.

I wish the "buck stopped" with me! I'd be rich.
