He didn't sold anything to Russia, the leaks are public throwaway shill. That's called whistle blowing and he exposed the wickedness and the corruption of your "adored" government. But Ignorance is bliss for some.

I'm sure a nice guy like Putin is only putting up Snowden in Russia out of the kindness of his heart.

No, Putin is doing it because it's politically advantageous and/or he enjoys sticking it to the US.

But Snowden is in Russia because the US kept him there while he was passing through (going so far as to force down the plane of the President of Bolivia on suspicion Snowden might be on board).

Was he also whistleblowing when he mysteriously appeared on Russian television asking softball questions to Putin?

Do you have any evidence that he sold info to the Russians?

Many of the CIA and other government agency employees sold secrets to the Russian. How about that? Or if it is for business reasons, it is ok, if it is pointing out the nature of the surveillance state we are living it is not ok.
