Holder: Possible plea deal for Snowden

[frazzled]

2. And he will do everything he can not to come

Isn't that the game for each side?

One assumes, whatever else one might think, that Snowden is not naive: he knows absolutely that pleading to some of the charges is a definite route to serving time. My presumption is that he does not want to serve any time whatsoever. So he will stay in Russia. At least, that's my good guess.

This whole thing is not news at all. Holder is saying exactly what he said a month and two months ago. Snowden has probably not changed his position either. So this is really not a story. The only story would be if Holder said, "C'mon home, Ed; we'll drop the charges." And that is not going to happen. There is no game here.
