I am not sure if he is a traitor or a national hero for exposing something we all knew. But he has told Russia how to manipulate our voting system for the presidency.

Edward Snowden has far more of a case than Manning. Snowden revealed mass surveillance well beyond that authorized by the Patriot Act, to the extent the 4th Amendment no longer exists in some circles.
Snowden literally defended the Constitution.
Obama just expanded who can receive this information "If intel agencies happen to undercover criminal information" in the course of their analysis.
Not even 1% of Section 213 (or is it 215?) Patriot Act authorized warrantless searches are for terrorism.

Snowden literally defended the Constitution.
And defending the Constitution is defending America. Snowden is far more of a hero than Chris Kyle ever could be.

Snowden gave real time, relevant and essential information to millions of Americans about how their RIGHT TO privacy and RIGHT TO BE FREE from unreasonable searches & seizures (of their data and also things, without court order/grant of warrant, or with prima facie unconstitutional FISA-kangaroo court warrants, with said FISA courts being nearly unchecked by process or oversight in their rubber stamp approval of warrants process), and how the government and 'private" tech, communications (e.g. AT&T) and data firms (Google, Facebook, Yahoo) were collaborating with and even jointly engaging in metadata bulk collection on hundreds of millions of innocent Americans, without reasonable, articuable suspicion of wrongdoing, let alone, by a higher probable cause standard necessary under the 4th Amendment.
