Edward Snowden, ex agente del NSA Usa, ha invitato i cittadini americani a pronunciarsi sul licenziamento del direttore dell’Fbi James Comey. Rimosso dall’incarico per ordine del presidente Donald Trump a causa della gestione dell’inchiesta sulle email di Hillary Clinton. “Ogni americano dovrebbe condannare l’interferenza politica nel lavoro dell’Fbi”, ha scritto Snowden su Twitter. Schierandosi con Comey nonostante abbia cercato per anni di incriminarlo per le sue attività. Nel 2013, Snowden ha trafugato documenti classificati relativi alle attività di sicurezza degli Usa nel mondo. Per questo è dovuto fuggire all’estero ottenendo un permesso di soggiorni di tre anni in Russia. Poi prorogato fino al 2020.

Edward Snowden, former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor-turned-whistleblower, on Wednesday called on US citizens to speak out against the dismissal of Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) James Comey. On Tuesday, the FBI director was removed from his post because, according to the administration of US President Donald Trump, he mishandled the probe into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server during her term as Secretary of State. “Set aside politics: every American should condemn such political interference in the Bureau’s work,” Snowden wrote on his official Twitter account. The whistleblower stressed that he opposed his firing despite the fact that Comey “has sought for years to jail [him] on account of [his] political activities.” In 2013, Snowden leaked classified documents pertaining to the mass surveillance practices carried out by US authorities around the globe. The following year, Snowden received a three-year residence permit to live in Russia, which was later extended until 2020.
