Speaking of which, if he were convicted and then elected President, one could make a reasonable argument that he could then pardon himself.

So technically speaking, a murderer could be elected president, but not a legal immigrant.

Well, that depends, particularly for Snowden. "Under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, no person who swore an oath to support the Constitution, and later rebelled against the United States, can become president. However, this disqualification can be lifted by a two-thirds vote of each house of Congress."

I see what you did there.

He hasn't been tried or convicted (yet).

That was Jesus' big shtick. He defected from the "governments" to the "people". Broadening the possibility of salvation from the Jews to the Gentiles, transitioning the focus of spirituality from the Roman material world to the heavenly next. By simply sharing information.

It's no different from what Snowden has done. You want to know why the US wants to crucify him? That's why.

He's a messiah. Just like Obama was 5 years ago.
