Edward Snowden Amnesty Debate and Brand Snowden
The *New York Times* and *The Guardian* have called for amnesty for Edward Snowden, a move viewed as an attempt to bring the "Brand Snowden" narrative to a close. Legal advisor Jesslyn Raddick appeared on cable news to discuss potential plea bargains, while claiming Snowden no longer possesses the 1.7 million documents the government seeks. The focus on Snowden's personal fate is seen as a distraction from ongoing legal battles regarding Google's ability to read non-user emails.
