If he does that then there is no question about the "treason" charge" Since China would have zero interest in our domestic phone and e- mail tapping issues. Their interest in him would be the military side.
I'll bet there is a good chance he was talking with China prior to the leaks. The more I read about this guy, the more I think his stay in Hong Kong will end and out of the reach of US authorities. Maybe Ron Paul can convince him to leave China.
Edward Snowden: I mistakenly believed in Obama’s promises | WashingtonExaminer.com

Edward Snowden, the self-revealed whistle-blower at the National Security Agency, explains that part of the reason he decided to come forward was because President Obama did not roll back the surveillance measures put into place by the Bush Administration. “A lot of people in 2008 voted for Obama. I did not vote for him. I voted for a third party,” Snowden said in an interview with the Guardian. “But I believed in Obama’s promises. I was going to disclose it [but waited because of his election]. He continued with the policies of his predecessor.” Snowden acknowledged that he watched Obama struggle as he attempted to justify the surveillance programs during his press conference on Friday. “My immediate reaction was he was having difficulty in defending it himself,” Snowden said about Obama. “He was trying to defend the unjustifiable and he knew it.”
