Maybe an ignorant question but just wondering why someone hasn’t already done this if they are concerned about people not properly being held accountable.▲
Put yourself in the place of a hypothetical someone who could do that. It is not a simple calculation. Its purpose would be to minimize collateral damage, but it would cause a lot of collateral damage. It will happen: it is already too late, and it will get much later, but it will happen.
If you didn't Snowden your way to Russia or North Korea within the hour, they would lynch you like nothing that has been seen before in American politics.

Ironically I think the US government inadvertently saved Snowden by canceling his passport and leaving him stranded in Moscow. He wouldn't have been as safe in Ecuador.
