nothing politically, and the West gets truthfully exposed to be just like the Russian Govt. Worse in fact, due to the scale of the NSA operations. All this at no real cost to Putin. If Snowden becomes a liability Putin can always give him 24 hours to vacate Russia or just shoot him. Plus It gives fuel to the "Obama is perfect crowd", claiming the usual nonsense that Snowden is involved somehow with the Russian Govt.
