Was Snowden a Russian Agent?
&gt;I think there&#x27;s a difference between what really motivated him to leak &amp; what he&#x27;s leaked out of self-preservation<p>Glenn Greenwald - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;ggreenwald&#x2F;status&#x2F;352213748917874688" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;ggreenwald&#x2F;status&#x2F;352213748917874688</a><p>I always come back to this Tweet when this subject comes up.  Like the article suggests, it isn&#x27;t a matter of <i>if</i> Snowden was compromised but <i>when</i>.  I would like to think it was after he was stranded in Russia with no hope.  That might explain his later actions but I don&#x27;t think it can ever justify them.  If even Greenwald thinks Snowden has &quot;leaked out of self-preservation&quot;, I find it hard to support the narrative of a whistleblowing American hero who deserves a pardon.
