Russia Considers Returning Snowden to U.S. to Curry Favor With Trump

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/russia-considers-returning-snowden-to-us-to-%e2%80%98curry-favor%e2%80%99-with-trump-official/ar-AAmOTuc?ocid=spartandhp

U.S. intelligence has collected information that Russia is considering turning over Edward Snowden as a "gift" to President Donald Trump — who has called the NSA leaker a "spy" and a "traitor" who deserves to be executed.
That's according to a senior U.S. official who has analyzed a series of highly sensitive intelligence reports detailing Russian deliberations and who says a Snowden handover is one of various ploys to "curry favor" with Trump. A second source in the intelligence community confirms the intelligence about the Russian conversations and notes it has been gathered since the inauguration.


oops I would imagine old Snowy is a little uncomfortable right now.
