## Transcript

Governor Chafee, Edward Snowden, is he a traitor or a hero? No, I would bring him home. He could have been a whistle blower. He could have gotten all of the protections of being a whistle blower. He could have raised all the issues that he has raised. Whistle blowers do not run to Russia, and try to get protection from Putin. I think Snowden played a very important role. In educating the American people. I would leave his ultimate judgment to the legal system.
