I’m far more concerned with the harm that the NSA does than any they might or might not prevent.
To answer the original question (am I allowed to do that?): I presume that SOME NSA leak evidence would be admissable. Certainly anything Snowden said could be introduced as something Snowden said, but that doesn’t speak to whether it’s true or not. Certainly anything that they’ve admitted to could be introduced as something they have admitted to.
Whether any of that would be considered relevant to the charges against him is a different matter entirely.There seems to be no question that he is guilty of the charges as written; the interesting thing will be whether, in sentencing, it is judged that there were sufficient mitigating circumstances/great good served to reduce or eliminate punishment.
(Apologies – I really wasn’t trying to sneak in the last word.)
