Lawmaker Suggests Snowden was Helped by Russia

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) told ABC News that he believed a foreign power — possibly Russia — cultivated former NSA contractor Edward Snowden as a mole.

Said McCaul: “I don’t think Mr. Snowden woke up one day and had the wherewithal to do this all by himself. I think he was helped by others.”

He added: “I personally believe
that he was cultivated by a foreign power to do what he did. Again, I
can’t give a definitive statement on that, but I think given all the
evidence I know Mike Rogers has access to, that I’ve seen, that I don’t
think he was acting alone.”
