Plea Deal?! What the hell? Does our nation even play at taking ANYTHING to trial anymore, or is it just a big game of how we can get some off the hook, or back on the hook in the most creative or back dealing way??
DEAL?!
WHAT Cooperation?! He handed over everything he had, and even if we believe the turn coat when he said NOTHING went to China or Russia, and those two nations were just kind out of pure altruism and care for his well being, he has nothing left to bargain with. He's said so. In fact, he's outright demanded he be believed on that point.
So what, on earth, could this former CIA Officer, NSA Officer, and then turn coat contractor OFFER in exchange for the damage he did?! Himself...is about all I'd take, and I don't know if Snowball would make it to trial if it were in my hands.
0..nothing.nada.Goose egg. That is precisely how much we've learned from Snowball's treason, which we didn't know, suspect or pretty much believe before he opened his yap and spilled..oh..gee..a whole couple % of what he actually ran out the door with. Why take the rest, when the public will be a generation older before seeing it all, IF EVER? Who DID it go to, because it damn sure didn't make it to the public domain. Retreads of Echelon is what we've heard about. Advancements of the totality concept, is what we've seen spilled. Whoopee.... I'm so excited I could fall asleep with the drama.
...He's still being tempted to come out of hiding tho..
Even Uncle Sammy finally faced reality. Whatever was secret..isn't any longer, and that covered whatever a GS-Goober with network admin priv's could hoover up from the NSA intranets. No kidding China and Russia have it all..and what was the first clue?! Seriously.. Was it the Chinese replacing every network switch and router in their entire NATION?! ...or was it Kremlin security offices and State security units dumping computers wholesale to go to TYPEWRITERS with real RIBBON back when Snowball fell from an open sky for them?
Either was a wee little clue....he spilled all he had for free passage and quarter given in Moscow.

Now how is that for some confusion? So...WHICH U.S. Officials are talking closing window for a deal and assessing values or downsides to dealing him off? If it isn't the A.G., and I have a feeling Obama himself would shoot the boy if he had the opportunity...who is dangling hope to run headlines like this?
Then again, selling us out to Iran took 18+ months of super-secret negotiations no one, even the Congress or U.S. allies could know was happening at all. So...he could be in full blown plea talks with Lynch herself, for all we know this Government to tell the truth on anything.
DEAL?!
That's what senior U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials tell us about the man whose leaks they call the worst in U.S. history. These officials say any momentum for these negotiations is gone; his lawyers have not even had conversations about such a deal for nearly a year with the U.S. attorney prosecuting the case. The officials say the chance that Snowden will be offered a plea deal in exchange for cooperation is now close to non-existent.

Another reason Snowden's value to the U.S. government has diminished is that most intelligence officials assume that whatever Snowden gave to journalists is also by now in the possession of the Chinese and Russian governments.

U.S. law enforcement officials tell us that Holder's successor, Loretta Lynch, has shown no interest in striking a plea bargain for Snowden. She said as much last month at the Aspen Security Dialogue in Colorado. When we asked her whether she would entertain such a bargain for Snowden, Lynch said: "His status is what it has always been: He's a federal fugitive. And if he chooses to come back, or if he is brought back, he will be accorded all the due process of every defendant in our criminal justice system."
