and when not worrying about that, she's fighting for her re-election life in October...So any asylum deal would happen until after that...

I'm not sure what Snowden's "petition" is supposed to accomplish, since he knows damn well that it's legally meaningless and he needs to have his feet on Brazilian soil to make a formal request...

He is trying to get to the World Cup and the festivities! It's such a better look than Russia but word is he may not get much action from the ladies of leisure due to their kiss and don't tell policy.
