The government of the United States has just announced a lawsuit over
my memoir, which was just released today worldwide. This is the book
the government does not want you to read.

Snowden says he never took an oath of secrecy, he took an oath to
defend the Constitution "from all enemies, foreign and domestic."
"I'm not asking for a parade. I'm not asking for a pardon, I'm not
asking for a pass. What I'm asking for is a fair trial. And this is
the bottom line that any American should require."
"They want the jury strictly to consider whether these actions were
lawful or unlawful, not whether they were right or wrong, And I'm
sorry, but that defeats the purpose of a jury trial."
