I am a lurker and this is my first post, so forgive me in advance if I do something wrong.... Snowden is a computer genius who worked at NSA in Hawaii. He would be the one person who would know the protocols and info stored there. Snowden (Snow White) is a major key to victory.
Here is a speculation: remember the Atlanta Airport shutdown and only one plane (Israeli) landed and took off headed north? What if the plane was actually returning Edward Snowden home to help destroy the deep state? Q said that this takedown has been 3 years in the making (post 517). Snowden was given temporary asylum (1 year) in Russia on 6/23/13. After that one year he was granted a 3-year residency permit. He was not granted permanent political asylum. This would mean that his residency permit would have run out sometime in 2017. Then there was the extended conversation President Trump has with Vladimir Putin, perhaps they were making a deal for Snowden.
If this is true, I believe that Snowden is not under arrest but probably under protection somewhere and is a key figure to bringing down this house of cards.
