    They weren’t able to stop Snowden. Trump has resources, if anyone in his proximity has half a brain he might have a shot.

    • Snowden has already left the country to Singapore if memory serves before he even gave the stolen docs to journos.

      They would have had no reason to chase him until that point. Then he went to Russia.

      I wonder if we will ever get him back, what the US and Russia might trade for him.

        Yes, you can compare anything. I’m not saying they’re equal, but it does show the CIA isn’t some omnipotent organisation that never fucks up.

          For example. Oranges are routinely shipped between countries by simply following tariff laws therefore you can easily draw the parallel that Trump is a flight risk simply if Sunkist declares him in their manifest.
