He first went to Hong Kong, then like Korea (we’re not sure), then Russia.

It’s a little suspicious eh? I thought the american people deserved to know the things he released…

But it might have been less innocent than one guy being a whistleblower. Other peer powers accommodated him in their interests.

What? He went to Hong Kong, then got a flight to Ecuador via Russia. He chose Russia as layover location because Hong Kong has a limited amount of flights and he ruled that the one least likely to arrest him en route. There was no "we're not sure."

I’m happy that you knew well enough to report my honest recollection.

I can understand that someone may have thought I was intentionally saying something wrong.

The truth is: I did not know/remember exactly, and thought we were having a conversation about a controversial issue. Facts are most appreciated.
