We shouldn't be surprised NBC is caping for Snowden. Look no further than it's subsidiary Euronews. It is majority-owned(53%) by Egyptian mogul, Naguib Sawiris, of Media Globe Networks. He uses the platform to spread his pro-trump rhetoric.

cnbc.com/2018/04/16/egy…
"Mr. Naguib Sawiris founded Orascom Telecom Holding OTH and led it to become the leading regional telecom player until the much-publicized merger deal with Vimpelcom Ltd, creating the world’s sixth largest mobile telecommunications provider in Apr 2011."

"Russian group Vimpelcom’s VIP.N bid for Egyptian tycoon Naguib Sawiris’s telecoms businesses has reignited a feud between its two top shareholders — Norway’s Telenor (TEL.OL) and Russia’s Mikhail Fridman’s Alfa-Group."

💣🔥💥🍿🐾#SamPatten is a starter on this menu. A thread on #Trump #Putin #Collusion: from pop-singers in Taj Mahal to weapons in Syria, plus what Satan, black cats, soccer, Patriarchs & judo wrestling have in common. Tarantino, it is not. Oh, plus #CambridgeAnalytica. 👇
1. #SamPatten admitted failing to register in the U.S. as a foreign agent for his work lobbying on behalf of a Ukrainian political party. Breaking. 👇
2. "The nature of his cooperation isn’t clear." (Yes, but the connections are telling.👇 ) . Patten worked with Manafort and & on microtargeting operations with Cambridge Analytica.

💥Barbour Griffiths and Rogers (BGR) lobby for Mikhail Fridman and Alfa Bank. Yes, the Russian bank whose servers communicated w Trump’s servers and DeVos servers (Spectrum)💥
Even though it’s disclosed in his divorce agreement, he lied when asked about his ownership of TNK-BP a British Petroleum energy subsidiary owned by Alfa Bank. Why⁉️

He was sentenced earlier this month to 30 days in prison, to be followed by 60 days of supervised release, and also fined $20,000. Alex van der Zwaan was also fired by Skadden Arps for his conduct. /2

Specifically, Alex van der Zwaan admitted that he lied to Mueller’s people in November, 2017 about communications he in fact had in September, 2016 with Manafort associates Rick Gates and “Person A” (almost certainly GRU-linked Konstantin Kilimnik) /3
