Whistleblower Edward Snowden
The whistleblower Edward Snowden is a guy who caused so much damage to USA security and the world. I am surprised Russia kept him there for over 3 years. I think if he is a man he should return to USA and stand a trial and the jury will decide on his fate.
In reality he should be charged with espionage. What we want to know is were there any secret recordings, and if so, what was recorded. Edward we will get you.

- Additionally, the legislative history of the FRSA’s whistle blower protection provisions shows that Congress intended to apply the clear and convincing evidence standard to an employer’s evidence on causation.
