Snowden's Handler in Hong Kong. Stepped down as the director of MI5 the exact time Snowden was finished Stealing the NSA data. He went to Hong Kong and announced he was there. Exact same time Johnathan Evans took a job as director of HSBC there. Clapp and Brenn-dog needed Evans to run the op because its kind of a bad thing to do to your nation. MI5 is the only group that could keep Snowden out of NSA sight. Snowden never went to Russia. Putin is trolling. This is the biggest why all the MSM is targeting Russia, he can expose the whole thing.
Snowden was a honey pot to get close to assange. Assange dies, snowden escapes and is positioned to be his replacement as the hero of free information. Everyone trusts him as heir apparent to assange. Snowdon applied for asylum to Ecuador.
There you have it. This is pretty close.
