> If you are actively soliciting, and distributing dirt on only one of the parties involved in an election, though it may be the entire truth, you are not being HONEST.

By this logic we could say Snowden was not being HONEST because he didn't dish us any dirt on the FBI, or Russia, or any of those other Organizations / countries that he simply doesn't have dirt on.

wikileaks has access to information and they are sharing it. That's important.

How long has Clinton been in the game, receiving a fortune from Saudi Arabia? That's why there is so much dirt to dish. Everyone has been familiar with Trump's dirt since The Apprentice.

Unfortunately, my support of Snowden has waned the more I learned that... A) He actively pursued information to steal (rather than coming across it naturally and deciding he had a moral obligation to reveal it) B) He ignored the pursuit of information damaging to any countries other than the US. C) He shared information with the Chinese government (and possibly the Russian government).

I still think he is a hero who should be pardoned and lauded, but...he's a deeply flawed one.
