Not to mention once Snowden is in USA there will be far more attention to him and his issues in media and public. If Snowden is brought to the USA, you won't see or hear from him ever again. He'll be whisked quietly to Gitmo without any public announcement. Does Obama have the option of restoring Snowden's passport just before the inauguration? He could frame it as "I hope he makes the right decision and comes home", and then Snowden silently makes it to Ecuadorian territory.

Snowden will probably end up dumped in the middle of the ocean like "Bin Laden" ostensibly was.

  I'm supposing there's a lot of interest in knowing exactly what he took and how he did it. It won't be a quick process.

  there doesn't seem any particular point in doing such, and several reasons not to.
