Was Snoden a Russian Spy?

maybe...
Most likely a CIA mole with a fake back history. A "no-name".

There is abuses all over the world. The question is, why are they focusing our attention on the US alone? What is it they want us to ignore?

ALL those countries were not just involved in "monitoring" themselves but being "monitored" also. the metadata was shared when needed but knowing the NSA they weren't given everything.
Germany, The UK, France, Italy, Brazil and Australia were all involved in monitoring cell and Internet meta-data. I think their disgust was when they found out the US was also monitoring their metadata as well.
But like we said if the Data was available for public viewing via the FOIA for a fee. The crime was accessing it without proper process. If all it was was making that info known there was no need for Snowden to run he would have been a hero and would be living here happily.
So the question is why did he run?
The answer is he was a thief working with an international Identity theft ring that was based out of Russia. He may not have been a spy but now he makes himself look like one.

maybe his crimes to you are irrelevant but it is not to the millions of people who have lost millions of dollars to these Identity theft rings.
Giving it to the MSM assured biased anti-american bits of the released data that would draw attention to his criminal activities.
When the NSA and FBI are asked specifically about other crimes Snowden may have committed they say they can't comment do to an ongoing investigation. Of which Snowden had help by the Gaurdian in destroying the most important piece of evidence that could have helped in that instigation, the laptop computer he gave them. Accomplices after the fact in the willful destruction of evidence.edit on 1-2-2014 by ChesterJohn because: (no reason given)
