Excellent question. Living in a hotel with room service sure can eat up one’s resources.
Ironic, Obama just met with the Chinese president over issues like hacking. I suppose Snowden could try a new ID, doing minor jobs in areas where he has expertise but his visa would run out at some point, and he likely doesn’t have a work permit. So the Chinese would have to be supporting him.
Of course the US Gov says it will prosecute him. It wouldn’t take much to find and arrest him, just given the info in this article. So room/board/health care would be taken care of for a while. IF the Chinese will release him.
At this point, it may be in this Administration’s best interest to let him stay in Hong Kong, let the Chinese take care of him, and let the story die down at home.
Interesting uh? There's so much more going on then we know in this whole affair. I'm keeping one eye open concerning Snowden.....the fact he's in China alone raises my brow.
With all these scandals I cannot help but see this as possibly on purpose...Do some WANT to see Americans in a civil war while they continue with their agendas while we are in such a weakened state?
The tensions worldwide, added in to the mix, makes for a very unstable world right now and seemingly increasing so....and why are we allowing China to arm our neighbors left and right?
Every nation seems to be arming up bigtime now....for whatever is going to erupt down the road....
Back to Snowden...China can pick or choose to do as they will with him...I understand his visa isn't any good now....but if they send him back here no doubt Obama will do a bit more than arrest him....but I think they're going to let the media ride with it for a time...use it to their advantage...(it engages the people...or otherwise occupies the headlines).
My interest is to see just what Congress does..other than talk...I have zip-zero expectations about all these investigations.
