When it comes to traitors like Snowdone, I don't listen to them or believe them.
The funny thing is that Trump wants Snowdon executed and Assange idolized.
In my opinion Snowdon had legitimate concerns but tossed any chance of redeeming himself by going about things the way he did and then running off to Russia. I see him as a useful idiot or patsy for the Russians.
Julian Assange is an intentional and willing participant in Russia's reignited cold war against the USA. That piece of garbage exposed American troops serving in Afghanistan and their families to danger and likely led to deaths of untold numbers of Afghan allies and informants.
Assange is worthy of only a single round from a sniper rifle.
