Obama: U.S. Following All ‘Legal Channels’ To Catch Edward Snowden

President Obama weighed in on the search for government leaker Edward Snowden Monday, saying the United States was working with other countries and following all applicable laws to catch the former American contractor who spilled secrets about top-secret surveillance programs.

“What we know is that we’re following all the appropriate legal channels and working with various other countries to make sure that rule of law is observed, and beyond that, I’ll refer to the Justice Department that has been actively involved in the case,” Obama said ahead of a meeting with business leaders at the White House to discuss immigration reform.

Obama has been careful to avoid saying too much about the search for Snowden, who has hopscotched the globe in an attempt to evade U.S. authorities. The president tried to shoo reporters out of the room on Monday, before relenting and giving a vague reaction to the Snowden manhunt.

If it had been someone from Russia or China that told on them about spying we would have offered them Asylum, like we have done in the past. But since we are now the bad guys everyone should turn him over to us!! What a joke!

I'm sure there's a drone somewhere with Snowden's name on it.
