"Snowden: I'd go to prison to return to the U.S."

"Edward Snowden says he has offered to return to the United States and go to jail for leaking details of National Security Agency programs to intercept electronic communications data on a vast scale."
Snowden told the BBC that he'd "volunteered to go to prison with the government many times," but had not received a formal plea-deal offer.
He said that "so far they've said they won't torture me, which is a start, I think. But we haven't gotten much further than that."
Could it be that Snowden is on Obama's pardon list?

The only problem with a People's Paradise is the kind of people you find.

Maybe Putin can leverage Snowden's return into some terrible deal for us.

So why wouldn't Obama have him come back, go to prison, and then pardon him when he leaves?
