    Except you know that wouldn't be a fair trial.

I think I would be a fair trial, at least from the government's perspective. I think there's little question whether what he did was illegal or not, and that's what the White House response ignores. Those signing the petition, myself included, aren't arguing what Snowden did was legal, we're saying it was right and petitioning our government to acknowledge that.
