Trump believes that Snowden is a bad guy and he might be right if the former NSA computer contractor does leak significant data to the Chinese. On the other hand if he doesn't then bringing the NSA spying scandal to forefront is not a bad thing. Most everyone does not know the damage that has been done, only time will tell.
It is curious that he is holed up in Hong Kong which since 1999 is a part of China, a country not known for being warm and fuzzy to traitors. It might be that they are draining him of all the information that he has and then will drop him into the hands of the Americans when they are finished with him.
Snowden might have jumped from the frying pan and into the fire. We will see.

Trump: China 'Having a Field Day' Because of Snowden
Thursday, 13 Jun 2013 10:24 PM
“Over the last year, we have been talking about them hacking us — and now, all of a sudden, China is talking about us hacking them,” the billionaire businessman told Piers Morgan on CNN. “We do far more than they’ve ever done — and they’re having an absolute field day.
“But the bigger field day is what is Snowden giving them,” Trump added. “How much information is Snowden giving them? It sounds like he’s got just about all the information we have in this country.”
In hiding in Hong Kong, Snowden reportedly has shown The South China Morning Post "unverified documents" describing an extensive U.S. campaign to obtain information from computers in Hong Kong and mainland China.
He also has promised "explosive" new revelations about Washington's surveillance targets.
U.S. officials have confirmed that Snowden, a former subcontractor for the National Security Agency, may have more secret material. He initially revealed the agency’s secret monitoring of Internet and telephone data of millions of Americans.
“Of all the places he goes for protection is Hong Kong, which is a little interesting, because that’s not a place where actually he should get that kind of protection,” Trump told Morgan. “It looks like they’re going to protect him.
“I don’t know what information he’s given them, but it could be very serious,” Trump added. “He’s a bad guy. I have no doubt that he’s a bad guy.”

If true, this is clearly an act of treason against the United States, and he should watch out for drones.

Lots of speculation as to what the "unverified documents" are. It could be meaningful and it could be garbage.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I would love to see what the Chinese did if we did use a drone to kill him. Could we be seeing mushrooms?

What are you talking about? It states right in the sentence what the unverified documents reportedly contain -- "describing an extensive U.S. campaign to obtain information from computers in Hong Kong and mainland China." If that is accurate, it is treason, and that is why he went to China to hide. He has already given China all he knows in exchange for asylum. They may kill him themselves to make sure we don't capture him and learn what he has given them. In that case, he will disappear and never be seen again.
