He isn’t deserving of a pardon or exile by the damage he did. But he could have stayed and faced the consequences if the cause was sincere

What exactly was the damage he did?

He exposed massive unconstitutional dragnets that made the unaccountable agencies look bad.

If the damage is "makes the US look bad from their illegal surveillance of citizens", then the NSA did that to themselves.

Needs of the state outweigh needs of the people? That's crazy talk.
