Snowden on Trump’s indictment: it’s not wrong to say that the indictment of Donald Trump for mishandling classified documents is a case of selective prosecution, but he could have fixed the system when he had the chance.

Edward Snowden on Twitter:

All kidding aside, it’s not wrong to say that the indictment of Donald Trump for mishandling classified documents is a case of selective prosecution. Spilled secrets are very much the currency of Washington, and Trump was not alone in splashing them around. He was just the least graceful.

Still, it’s hard to feel sorry for a man who had four years in the White House to reform that broken system—and instead left it in place to the detriment of the American public. He is caught within the same gears his own hands once turned.
