Russia Puts Pressure on CIA / NSA Traitor

[Reality Check]

Russia is putting pressure on the former CIA / NSA contractor, who is assumed to be hiding in the International Transit Area of a Russian Airport.

Russia wants him to make a decision about where he wants to go and leave the airport.

Western media has been spinning the statements coming from Putin and other Russian officials as a desire to have better relations with the United States.

But, after nearly 10 days of exclusive access to the traitor and his laptops and other information containing personal property the Russians maybe pressuring him to formerly defect and put himself under the orders of the FSA ( formerly known as the KGB ).

Statements by Putin and other officials have made clear that Russia will consider an application for asylum, but only on Russia's terms. There will be no Wiki-Leaks or news interviews not sanctioned by the Russian Security Services if the traitor defects to Russia.

Russia can legally ( or illegally ) prevent him from flying out to any country other than a country he is a citizen of, and they can prevent him from holding News Conferences at the airport. Russia has armed security service personnel at the airport who can enforce such decisions by Russian authorities.
