The Kremlin Admits Snowden Is a Russian Agent

Poor idealistic Snowden. I suppose he did us a service by exposing what he did, but he was unprepared for the realities of the world he entered when he left the cocoon of the IT department of the NSA.

This is the source of the 'admission' referred to: http://www.npr.org/2016/06/29/483890378/during-tenure-in-rus...

I don't know what to make of it since it's a quote translated from Russian but it at least reads to me less like an admission than a claim, unless the speaker was actually involved:

    FRANTS KLINTSEVICH: (Speaking Russian).

    KELLY: "Let's be frank," he says. "Snowden did share intelligence. This 
    is what security services do," adds Klintsevich. "If there's a possibility 
    to get information, they will get it." 

    It's a possibility that Snowden's lawyer, Ben Wizner of the ACLU, denies.
