Topic: Bruce Fein

Edward Snowden issued a statement to the Huffington Post clarifying that his father, Lon Snowden, and lawyer Bruce Fein do not represent him. Snowden warned journalists that his father is being exploited for tabloid news. Bruce Fein's background as a lobbyist for various international groups and his role in the Ron Paul campaign are scrutinized.

Lon Snowden, father of Edward Snowden, explains his decision not to travel to Moscow after the U.S. government failed to facilitate direct communication with his son. He expresses a total loss of confidence in the Department of Justice and the FBI, arguing that his son cannot receive a fair trial in the Eastern District of Virginia. The hosts question the authenticity of the father's public persona and his use of the name "Edward" instead of "Ed."

The hosts analyze Glenn Greenwald's frequent media appearances, suggesting he has become a "spokeshole" for Snowden. They speculate that Greenwald's mention of Snowden's "family" in interviews might contain coded messages for intelligence agencies, comparing his role to that of a mob attorney.

Lonnie Snowden, father of whistleblower Edward Snowden, has retained attorney Bruce Fein of the Lickfield Group. The Lickfield Group is described as a neutral, Geneva-based humanitarian organization, though it is suspected of having deeper political ties. This legal move suggests a strategy to negotiate Edward Snowden's return to the United States under specific conditions.
