He violated the trust of whom? The government who was violating the trust of the American People?

And as for Russia, he didn’t flee there by choice; he got stranded because the U.S. government revoked his passport mid-transit, He was there for a transit and hit final destination was Ecuador ...

He fled to China by choice and gave them plenty of documents about Chinese targets, some of which are in the article we are discussing.

The government wasn't violating the trust of the American people. If you ask about the single illegal domestic data collection program in the leak (phone metadata collection) and how it was used (to find associates of surveilled foreign agents working against the national security of the U.S.), you will find that most people don't care.
