. >> let me read something from josh barrow at the business insider. he tweeted this out.t your response to this. he wrote the case for clemency for snowden is a radical case against our diplomatic and intel apparatus which people make oddly casually. if snowden had only revealed the reach of nsa inside the u.s. and not divulged the methods, extent, et cetera, do you think then there would be a better case for clemency? do you think that by going as far as he did, he undermined his ability to come back to the united states? >> he could have taken -- he could have done a little bit and started the debate, is i guess the argument josh is making. >> well, first of all, the united states indicted him under espionage statutes and charged him with crimes that would put him into prison for three decades before the fourth or fifth story was even published, when just the first couple stories had been published. secondly, as all kinds of journalists including from ruth's own paper have continuously pointed out, the obama administration is more aggressive and more vindictive when it
