Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Federal Government should drop all charges against Edward Snowden.
HRES 34 is a non-binding resolution expressing the House of Representatives' view that the federal government should drop all charges against Edward Snowden. It states the House believes the NSA's bulk telephone records program was illegal and unconstitutional, that Snowden's disclosure of it was in the public interest, and that the government should dismiss the espionage and theft charges against him. This resolution does not change any law or affect legal proceedings, as it only states the House's position. It directly relates to Snowden's case and the NSA program's legality, based on prior court rulings and reports.
