Topic: Lonnie Snowden

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.

Lonnie Snowden, father of Edward Snowden, spoke to NBC News, stating his son is not a traitor but did technically break U.S. law. He suggested his son might return to the U.S. if the Department of Justice promised a fair trial without a gag order. The hosts question the authenticity of the father's televised demeanor, suggesting the interview felt scripted or performed.
