11. Snowden had fled to Hong Kong but US revoked his passport leaving him stateless

Snowden’s attempts to reach South America were apparently thwarted.

I have found the Wikipedia account of Snowden’s eventual asylum in Russia to be. credible and Snowden’s claim that he had given all documents he had taken to American journalists in Hong Kong and kept no copies himself as also credible.

I have seen no evidence that he provided classified information to Russia.

Ironically there may be more evidence that the Former President Trump has benefited adversarial countries such as Russia through his taking, retaining, and failing to safeguard classified information.
