I may be completely wrong, but I thought Snowden was originally CIA (once a part, you never leave) who blew the whistle on the NSA…because the NSA (and by extension, MI) was collecting the same “data” that, up until then, only the CIA had proprietary rights over. Hmmm.

NSA v C_A
Q
I personally know a husband and wife team that did leave. They asked and were repeatedly denied. Then the wife did something that the CIA was not very happy about (I won't say what she did but it can be found easily if you know where to look) and in the process both of their covers were blown. The situation was embarrassing enough to the CIA that they parted ways after the CIA was forced to confirm to the media they were in fact CIA officers. Both have different careers now. Note - they did not do anything illegal to leave (meaning they weren't double agents or stealing secrets or anything like that). I worked with the husband for over 5 years (after their CIA careers - I was never CIA).
He was useful and opened a lot of peoples eyes to the spying. He should be pardoned on those grounds. However if he was involved with anything outside of his whistleblowing that was unconstitutional and/or illegal, he should be held accountable for it
Assange …yes…not sure about Snowden.
That’s exactly how I feel.
I guess Kdc may know more about the whole thing than we heard via MSM.... I expect that shapes our respective viewpoints...

You mean they didn't get disappeared?
