What if the "Russian Defector" is Snowden?
Watched the Snowden movie again today. Multiple references of him being called Snow White and also used the term No Such Agency.
He now lives in Russia. He "defected" when he blew the whistle on the clowns.
According to the movie, he invented the very system they are using to spy on us and is a genius-level programmer.
It isn't a far stretch of the imagination to believe that he can still access the system he himself built and the good guys are working in tandem with him - he would be seen as a hero to them and they would be glad to help.
