Accoring to Snowden, Greenwald, et al, Snowden has nothing to trade for asylum: Everyone in a position to know says that he gave the whole works to Greenwald & co., to use as he sees fit. That does not make their assertion true, but as far as I know, no evidence contradicts it.
DISCLAIMER: I don't follow the Snowden affair.
At one time I did follow it very closely, so I am sure you will find plenty to disagree with here: http://www.globalresearch.ca/nsa-deception-operation-questions-surro und-leaked-prism-documents-authenticity/5338673
I don't believe your claim.
Neither do I. Beliefs prejudice perception and judgement.
Why Merica wants Snowden if he can't hurt them?
Because his example has already been followed by others, and more will follow. In politics one calls revenge "deterrence," but by any name the U.S. government wants revenge in this matter.
Greenwald, et al appear to be on Merica's soil, so it is O(1) the cops to silence them.
Greenwald currently resides in Brazil. Apparently he likes the climate there better than in the U.S.
Merica wants no leaks, not a particular individual.
So Snowden went to Russia empty handed and Russia took him?
Not empty handed, he brought propaganda value with him: A no-risk, no-cost chance for Russia to both deprive the U.S. of a military objective (Snowden's capture) and to play the champion of justice and fair play on the world stage. They also obtained an extended opportunity to determine whether Snowden did have anything of intelligence value to offer.
Appears to me Snowden still personally leaks enough from Russia to give merica troubles, no?
Snowden personally leaks nothing; never did, most likely never will. By the accounts of all involved parties, Snowden handed off all copies of all them documents to Greenwald. Greenwald then sold the rights to them to Omidyar. The staff at The Intercept occasionally take out their eyedropper and deliver one or two of these documents, along with articles explaining what say and what they mean to the great unwashed publick.
