No, he should be returned to the U.S. to stand trial and face the consequences of his actions

Agree

No

Yes, investigate the CIA and NSA directors instead

Strongly disagree

Yes, he should be protected under the Whistleblower Protection Act

Most Republicans would not consider Snowden's actions to be protected under the Whistleblower Protection Act, as they believe he put national security at risk. They may argue that the Act is intended to protect those who expose government wrongdoing without endangering the country. Republican lawmakers have generally not supported extending whistleblower protections to Snowden.
