CIA and USSS would never let him flee to russia.

They wouldn't stop him. More than Half of them would probably help him do what he wants to do

But would his secret service allies really be willing to move to Russia with him?

Would an ally be willing to go to prison for decades? A reasonable person would say of course not, but here we are. If someone is an ally of Trump's, they clearly left reality long ago

They weren't able to stop Snowden. Trump has resources, if anyone in his proximity has half a brain he might have a shot.

Are you seriously comparing the asset value of Snowden to that of trump?

Yes, you can compare anything. I'm not saying they're equal, but it does show the CIA isn't some omnipotent organisation that never fucks up.

For example. Oranges are routinely shipped between countries by simply following tariff laws therefore you can easily draw the parallel that Trump is a flight risk simply if Sunkist declares him in their manifest.

Yeah but Snowden wasn't a former president with a lifetime Secret Service detail.

We are talking here about a former US president charged under the Espioange Act.

Snowden has already left the country to Singapore if memory serves before he even gave the stolen docs to journos.

They would have had no reason to chase him until that point. Then he went to Russia.

I wonder if we will ever get him back, what the US and Russia might trade for him.

Snowden became a Russian citizen, so I don't he's up for trading.

Wasn't Snowden already out of country when he leaked? Seems a lot different.
