I don't think this position qualify as pro-Snowden. The trial facing by Snowden is for "treason", which is by definition false because no third party government was involved.

I think it's pretty binary debate. It's not 5 years jail time vs. life sentence like Sanders seems to imply.

The US will not seek the death penalty for Snowden. [1] So functionally what Sanders is describing is the same.
