Whether Snowden is white or blackhat is definitely a valid question of discussion, after all Q has been purposefully ambiguous about him.
To me, that could only mean one thing.
He's a whitehat who has done work undercover into the blackhats territory.
But Q definitely has toyed around with hints that seem like he's genuinely teasing a blackhat about to be captured.
I thought maybe the guy holding up the van photo WAS Snowden, and not Seth Rich. A post yesterday talking about "a Manhattan business magnate and a kid from Nebraska" definitely sounded like it was Seth posting.
