Edward Snowden’s Father Will Travel to Russia, Rejects Idea of Plea Deal For Son -- ABC News

In an exclusive interview on ABC’s “This Week,” Lon Snowden – father of NSA leaker Edward Snowden – said he has received a visa to travel to Russia to visit his son, while rejecting the notion of a plea deal for his son to return to the United States.

Lon Snowden and his lawyer, Bruce Fein, said they plan to make the trip to visit Snowden in Russia “very soon.”

“We have visas, we have a date, which we won’t disclose right now because of the frenzy,” Fein said on “This Week.” “We intend to visit with Edward and suggest criminal defense attorneys who have experience in criminal espionage act prosecutions.”

My Comment: Edward Snowden's father will be treated well when he arrives in Russia .... I would not even be surprised if he meets Russian President Putin where he will thank him and the Russian government for their treatment of his son .... as to what will come after that .... my money is on Edward Snowden making the move to stay permanently in Russia. The only way he will come back to the U.S. will be if he serves no jail time and if convicted it will be treated as a misdemeanor .... which I will also bet will not happen in the present environment .... ten years from now maybe .... but not now.
