The US is known for supporting or conducting extrajudicial executions, but they all served a very specific geostrategic and geopolitic goal.
There isn't a single case of a political assassination case conducted out of spite, such as the one in the conspiracy theory you fabricated. There is also no goal to achieve, or win to be had, or position to be improved by assassinating Snowden. Snowden's relevance ended a long time ago. In fact, any of those conspiracy theories would represent an unequivocal loss for the US.
If anything, the CIA would be involved in protecting Snowden in the US from the likes of Russia to avoid a false flag assassination to embarrass the US.

- credit_guy 3y agoAssassinating a non-US citizen (Asange) outside of the US borders is something that the CIA does from time to time. Conducting operations within the US borders is not cool for them [1], and killing US citizens doubly so.
