SNOWDEN KNOWS HIS TIME IS NEAR

 

Snowden: ‘What’s Most Frustrating Is That the Press Paid So Little Attention to Her’

Among those who agree with Winner Davis is National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden, who fled to Russia from the U.S. in 2013 after exposing a number of global surveillance programs run by the NSA and Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance.

 

Asked by Newsweek on Thursday at a conference on whistleblowing in London, U.K., how he feels about Winner's heavy sentence, the NSA whistleblower said what happened to Winner was "condemnable."

 

"It didn't really matter whether there was a risk to public interest," Snowden said. "They threw the book at her. Then they bragged that it was the longest sentence that a civilian had ever received for a disclosure…. And I think that's just condemnable," Snowden said.

 

The whistleblower also hit out at the lack of mainstream news coverage on Winner's disclosure, as well as her subsequent sentencing. "What's most frustrating is that the press paid so little attention her," Snowden said. "They have wall-to-wall coverage about the concerns around Russians. Russians everywhere is the number one issue…"

 

Given the interest around Russian interference in U.S. affairs, "this story should have been the top story and it was only being led by media like The Intercept," Snowden said.

 

The NSA whistleblower said he believed Winner's case did not get the attention other whistleblowers have received because she was simply "too normal" of a person.

 

"She was treated as a sort of lower category of whistleblower, and I think that's because of where she fell on the spectrum of weirdness…. She was actually very normal," Snowden said, calling Winner an "all-American" girl.

 

Regardless of where she fell on that spectrum, Winner, who had been an outspoken critic of Trump on social media in the days leading up to her arrest, calling the U.S. leader an "orange fascist" in one post, was the first person to be charged by the Trump administration under the Espionage Act.

 

Snowden said that while the president's predecessor Barack Obama oversaw his own crackdown on "leakers," Trump "very much wants to break that record. I absolutely don't think the Trump White House is going to do any better," he said.
