Your quote is from... October 2013 [1]. I think Trump's views and information might have changed since then, and the state of the world has changed which will modify the pros and cons of this move to trump. I expect his decision will mostly be made based on how he perceives it impacting his chance of getting re-elected.
I haven't noticed trump ever being particularly concerned about what the intelligence community thinks.

- mullingitover 6y agoThat is just one of many, many rants Trump published about Snowden.
- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoThis will garner him one mail in vote from Russia.
- csilverman 6y agoNot trying to change the subject, but that's kind of an interesting question actually. Can Edward Snowden vote in US elections? As far as I know, he's still an American citizen, and he hasn't been technically convicted of anything.
- ars 6y agoYes he can. He would use his last state of residence as the voting location.
- m463 6y agoI expect it might be calculated to help his re-election - if he does it. Remembering how google locked down its internal network after the revelations, I would expect lots of silicon valley might align with snowden's plight.
