More from the Q&A:

Asked about if Snowden is a Patriot: "No he is not. I called for a thorough review of surveillance programs before Snowden leaks. A thoughtful, fact-based debate. I signed an executive order that provided protections for whistleblowers in the intelligence community, so there were better avenues for leaking information."
