Edward Snowden is either a CIA Operative stationed in Russia. Or he works for Erik Prince who extradited him from Hawaii and holds his data.

Post-Soviet Russia is overrun by Jewish Oligarchs, so it is not a speculation he works for that faction of Leninists and Stalinistas closely connected to Israeli Nathan Sharansky.
