1. Booz Allen is the same contractor as Snowden. I wonder at what point does the Govt reconsider their relationship.

2. Thoughts on what he wanted/did with all of that information? It seems extremely amateur and not someone versed in tradecraft to have all of that just sitting around. I wonder if he was selling this stuff on the side, Shadow Brokers tools were definitely govt sponsored.

Booz Allen Hamilton has 22,000 employees. I'm going to guess that the government won't see 2 of them stealing document and hence tear up all their contracts with Booz Allen. Also, the article said that Booz Allen is hiring a form FBI director to lead an audit into their security and personnel. That should keep the government from reconsidering their contracts.

Yep, and if not, they can call the current directors to offer to hire them in a couple of years too.
