Snowden is not a spy, he is not a traitor. He is a whistle-blower on an out of control government that was spying on citizens of the United States.

For his own safety, he must stay in Russia for now. I love Trump as our President, and I think Pompeo is going to do a great job as Director of the CIA, but they neither one should have ever commented on Phil Snowden in the ways that they did. No one who exposes lies by our government that disclose where the government is spying on US or plotting against US or doing other dishonest things that represent a betrayal of our trust in our government is never a spy, is never a traitor, they are and will always be a Patriot.

Phil Snowden is a friend of the American people, he is one of US, not the Russians. The Russians simply took him in because he was on the run for his life and had nowhere else to go, and I thank God Russia did what they did to save the life of this young man.

If they want to "hang" someone for treason, then hang the bastards in the NSA who ordered the spying on US citizens without a warrant.
