Just so that we are clear

Snowden vs. James Comey
Snowden leaks classified information and he is cheered by Contards and what are now the Trumfucks. But Comey does it, and they lose their shit.
Can't have it both ways cock suckers!!!!
And we all know the only reason Snowden was praised was because it was under the Obama admin and the Contards were desperate for anything to get Obama on. Despite it being a Republican president getting that passed.
I fucked up! But thanks for blaming it all on the black guy! -Sincerely, George W. Bush

Didn't Snowden release information for the sake of the American people while Comey merely leaked information to Russia?
I fail to see the similarity.

I'm a Trumptard and I think Snowden and Comey should both be jailed.

Snowden is a bad example. I distinctly remember conservatives being against him. Assange and Wikileaks on the other hand...

I haven't been following this all that closely. Did Mr Comey leak classified information to the Russians?

I would say the motivation of Snowden, who knowingly put his life at risk to expose the governments abuse of power, vs. Comey, who passed around some classified stuff, because he's a dope are probably not equivalent.
I'd also guess Comey's classified stuff wasn't that important.
I don't know what to think about Snowden. That's a serious ethical quandry. Comey is just incompetent.

It was decreed that Snowden did not release anything important that other countries could use against us.

The details of the domestic surveillance program would certainly be relevant to foreign countries with spies operating in the US.
