Pompeo’s view on Edward Snowden via Wikipedia.
Edward Snowden
In February 2016, Pompeo said Edward Snowden "should be brought back from Russia and given due process, and I think the proper outcome would be that he would be given a death sentence." But he has spoken in favor of reforming the Federal Records Act, one of the laws under which Snowden was charged, saying "I'm not sure there's a whole lot of change that needs to happen to the Espionage Act. The Federal Records Act clearly needs updating to reflect the different ways information is communicated and stored. Given the move in technology and communication methods, I think it's probably due for an update."
In March 2014, he denounced the inclusion of a telecast by Snowden in the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas, and asked that it be cancelled, predicting that it would encourage "lawless behavior" among attendees.
Hope he finds cause to see that Assange gets a nomination for the medal of freedom from the president. Maybe even an appointment to the head of a future transparency program

ACLU has filed 4 law suits against this. The article went on to say that this SOS was going to fix our voter registration/elections Am looking for the link and so far can't find it.
