Then Russia still gets to be our friend, or something like that.

But if Putin puts the gendarme on Snowden, if the US ever gets hold of him, US will know. Not good for old Pooty-Poo.

Plus, he doesn't have to. As you say, the dude's gonna release it anyway. No need to risk a debrief.

That's why when Putin said he wanted Snowden to leave and that he would not interfere he probably meant it.
