    Yeah that’ll happen when you go on the run to China and Russia with classified laptops full of shit you downloaded from the top secret Internet.

    Had he stayed or simply gone to a non extradition country without the laptops he would be a hero.

        That’s funny from the crowd that routinely says he’d have been renditioned and tortured when there are multiple cases of actual whistle blowers getting a 3-5 year prison term and being treated completely normally in the system.

        Why is he special?

        He was in Hong Kong for a month. Why couldn’t he fly to a non extradition country in the month before they stopped his passport?

        You’re right that the story doesn’t add up but it’s not the governments story.
