I still don't trust Snowden for a few reasons: 1: Obama went hard on all whistleblowers even killing them but Snowden somehow easily escaped. I'm sure that the DS could find a way to kill him even in Russia. 2: Unlike other whistleblowers in the Obama-era Snowden became a media darling with documentaries made about him and speaks remotely at tech conferences that are put on by the very companies driving the censorship.
