PARIS - Former U.S spy agency contractor Edward Snowden hopes France will grant him asylum, according to a France Inter radio interview to be broadcast on Monday. In excerpts made available on the French radio station’s Twitter account, Snowden says he would “love to see” French President Emmanuel Macron make a gesture enabling him to live in the country.Snowden has been living in Russia since 2013 after he revealed details of secret surveillance programs by U.S. intelligence agencies.
Many civil rights activists see him as a hero, but at home in the United States authorities want him to stand trial for espionage.
this is after Macron proposed getting friendly with Putin?
FBI agents like;
Nah, keep hanging out in Russia.
I hope our hero of freedom can find a place where he can live in peace
He is an English speaking guy. Why not the most progressive English speaking country New Zealand provide him asylum. Its PM young lady I rate as the best leader the world offers now. Trump the worst to me.
How about tRump Tower?
NO! He needs to stop running. But if he wants a nice safe secure room one is available in America!
Snowden for a start wouldn’t be publishing this shit if he where to go anywhere do you think he is so ducking stupid to tell half the world via social media hmmm I don’t think so!!!!
I guess he finally realized Russia wasn't good.
He is gradually walking into a trap like Assange..he will regret it.
Snowden says he hopes France will grant him asylum BIEB2019
Snowden was right.
Snowden what's wrong with Russia ? How’s the people’s freedom going over there? Is KGB much better than the NSAGov or what? Why France ?
Lord Snowden?
Nope....not a chance dude....
I hope so. He did our country a great service.
In French we usually say : MDR
Nope
Why? Stay in Russian, is very nice.
Does France give asylum to Russia-collaborating snitches?
I want him to go the way of Philby and Burgess - a KGB-approved partner, state pension, and alcoholism.
Is it so bad in Russia?
He exposed criminal behavior by the US government and he's the bad guy? Lmao how does reporting a crime make you a criminal?
I hope so too.
Traitor Snowden!
Buddy you gonna go to jail. Once you leave russia.
France will, they are pretty gutless
Traitor should be executed
“Lastly, when said traitors are sufficiently mortified, let them be dipped in tar to fry, then hung out to feather and dye!' ~ Nancy Pelosi NancyPelosi🇺🇸
So does the CIA...
Hmmm. Non . Il rêve lepauvre
He’s a Russian spy they shouldn’t
Why he wanted to act like Russia he should stay in Russia I don't know why you'd want to leave he thought Russia was the best place to be.🤔🤔🤔🤔🙄🙄😡
Only one country will happily give it w/o being asked... Guess😏
Criminal scum
then he would be as good as dead. Didn't he wanted to go to Ecuador?
Traitor.
He turned the radiance of humanity into the darkness of his life! It was because of his past ignorance of the world.
He deserves a reward for his revelation of crimes and corruptions. he should win the Nobel Peace Prize.
You will be disappointed.....be careful.
Russia is the well deserved punishment!
Well it won't be Britain, seeing we're so desperate for a US trade deal...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hasn't he seen how western countries are treating Assange?
PHUCK SNOWDEN. LER HIM ROT IN MOSCOW.
......And I hope to have France give me a million dollars.......
A true patriot for the rights of American citizens.
