Eric Holder: The Justice Department could strike deal with Edward Snowden

[Broward]

In an interview with Yahoo News, Holder said “we are in a different place as a result of the Snowden disclosures” and that “his actions spurred a necessary debate” that prompted President Obama and the Congress to change policies on the bulk collection of phone records of America citizens.

Asked if that meant the Justice Department might now be open to a plea bargain that allows Snowden to return from his self-imposed exile in Moscow, Holder replied: “I certainly think there could be a basis for a resolution that everybody could ultimately be satisfied with. I think the possibility exists.”

1. Good.

And release Chelsea Manning while you're at it.

6. +1

She should be pardoned by Obama if possible.

[on point]

2. Nothing less than full and complete presidential pardon for heroic service. NO charges, no jail whatsoever.

3. That must be a pretty small definition of 'everybody'.

Given that I've seen multiple people calling for him to be executed as a traitor, I don't think you could 'satisfy' those people and Snowden at the same time.

4. what policies were changed? nt

13. Ha! No kidding.

But the President said things would change! You don't believe him?

5. Interesting. I assume this would be a way to do nothing and say we did:

All fixed! Nothing to see here, move along! Thank you for your service, buhbye!

Making a deal with Snowden would be a cheap price to pay for continuing business as usual.

7. Just like they 'could' have prosecuted banksters

Means absolutely nothing.

8. Sadly, I'm sure you are right. nt

9. Holder is no longer in the government, this is an old story and you have no link.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]I'm always right. When I'm wrong I admit it.
So then I'm right about being wrong.[/center][/font][hr]

10. This story is 17 hours "old". Holder's getting paid big bucks for his WH connections

post-AG service. He has close ties with this Admin and everyone knows that but you apparently.

11. The original story came out some time ago. This is just a repeat of it. It's click bait.

12. I love the smell of desperation in the morning nt

Thanks for kicking this though back up and up and up...

[elias49]

14. And you took the bait!

Love it.

[randome]

15. No, I saw the story on another thread. And there is still no link so no bait to click.

Oh, how I pine for the good old Snowden threads, when every other day or so he'd make some outrageous remark about how our thoughts are being monitored or how the NSA operates a glossy porno ring.

But...those days are gone.
