This part of the movie seemed unclear to me, so does this description of the events. It may need to be clarified or cleaned-up. Before that event where the superior wants to have him accused of drunk driving charges, there is a conversation between the characters of Snowden and Al-Kirmani about money. This made me wonder if the attempt to incriminate Al-Kirmani was part of a money scam against him (as well as the blackmailing, persecuting his family as a lure to control him). The current plot suggests that it was to collect more information. 76.10.128.192 (talk) 15:53, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
