Ha! Very glad you mentioned this as I was thinking about that early today.....must be Snowden wants out of dodge because if there's been a change in leadership he has zero guarantees what they will do with him...which may not be such a good thing. If there's another leader they may well want to know what he knows and won't care to hold him over Obama's head as a toy to dangle. They may want the goods....and Snowden may not have a choice.
I'm sure Snowden's been thinking about this...IF...there's a change...and if not that possibility does affect how he see's his time there....which sooner or later he is running out of.
Then theirs his interview with Germany TV on Jan 26th held in Moscow..... that Snowden said that US government officials “want to kill me”......“These people, and they are government officials, have said they would love to put a bullet in my head or poison me when I come out of the supermarket, and then watch as I die in the shower,”...
At any rate he is a complainer failing to understand he is where he is for decisions he made...he had soooo many other options.
However he does have his pole-dancer girlfriend there with him so he's not that miserable as we see here at the theater
I say leave him as he is and let him continue to figure it out on his own..he is NOT suffering
