Snowden Synonymous With " Fat Leonard's":

Snowden came from an upbringing similar to those the "Fat Leonard" Admirals. He had a Coast Guard, Admiral as a maternal grandfather. He got automatically accepted into a circle that few have been part of, both the  U.S. Army Reserve Special Forces, C.I.A. and N.S.A. communities. He had actual, U.S. Army Reserve Special Forces training, although he broke both legs in a training exercise. He has a Mensa-level IQ, and seems groomed by many people in powerful positions.

If brought into a civilian court, as Eric Holden, former A.G. mentioned, the challenge would be that people who are intimidated by all the software programs, would not be able to process the required technical information. Beyond that, they would probably not understand the three different cultures: U.S. Army Reserve, Special Forces, C.I.A. and N.S.A.

The training he has received from all three environments, along with the contractor period of employment at Dell for the N.S.A. are legally challenging, because of his conflicting security clearances. If the U.S. Army Special Forces, the C.I.A., Dell and N.S.A. all were in agreement with him, then why was he charged, along with his U.S. passport getting revoked? He has a Che Guevara appeal, but do we need revolutionary-minded, brute force individuals running our intelligence community?
