To me this simply looks like the folks in charge are locking in their cyber crimes case against Snowden. If he's ever brought in--for whatever reason--and even if he magically avoids every charge of espionage, treason, leaking, spying, misuse of company keyboards, or whatever, they'll have the hacking angle sunk so deep that it won't matter. If Bradley Manning got what he did for scary wget wizardry (making no statement about the validity of that charge or verdict) then I think Snowden can safely expect more consecutive life sentences than he has fingers and toes.
