    Those laws only apply to poor people who whistleblow about the oligarchies crimes.

      No, this law was last used to prosecute Cold War spies.

      Snowden was prosecuted for leaking national secrets, not treason. To be fair, he is technically guilty, but it would be a travesty of justice for him to be punished for it. I’m glad the Justice Department decided to let him off.
