Russia needs to "curry support" with Trump

It's uncertain whether an arrangement to evacuate Snowden has moved past the consultation organize. The previous NSA contractual worker has dwelled in Russia since June 2013, when he traveled to Moscow from Hong Kong one month after writer Glenn Greenwald and real daily papers far and wide started distributing stunning disclosures about the US reconnaissance state Snowden had taken utilizing his exceptional status. Russia allowed him refuge for one year, and after that amplified that for an extra three years.
