David Knezevich was the prime suspect in the disappearance of the US citizen last February while the couple were involved in a multimillion-dollar divorce...
It’s pretty crazy that he left his cushy job getting paid a government contractor salary and living in Hawaii and end up in Russia living in exile. He didn’t strike me as someone who hates America - but someone who hated the abuse of power and lies. Which is all the more ironic. I still can’t reconcile it. I understand that America isn’t ALWAYS the good guy, and it’s got a long history of awful things. But Russia? I still don’t get it.
I recall Snowden speaking out against WikiLeaks because they were a seemingly unfiltered trove of secrets disseminated, and he considered it reckless. Whereas Snowden worked with Greenwald and his team and ultimately had them figure out what to be published.
I definitely remember WikiLeaks and the Clinton campaign though! I thought that was a Julian Assange thing.
I looked up a list of countries without extradition to the US and it’s a short list today. I’m not sure what it was when this took place, but it’s probably quite similar. Not many of the options seem like an appealing long term plan 🙃

How disheartening for Snowden to do the right thing and be stranded in Russia. (lemmy.world)
Abhorrent behavior from our representatives, unforgivable.
