The famous whistleblower Edward Snowden commented in a June 9 Twitter post on the June 8 indictment of former U.S. President Donald Trump, which entails an obvious application of a double standard (e.g., Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden) in order to knock Trump out of contention in the upcoming presidential elections.
“All kidding aside,” Snowden stated, “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.
“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,” Snowden tweeted.
