Maybe blackmail? What could Snowden have to benefit Clinton and why is Wikileaks worried?

I don't think he has anything valuable that Clinton would want. If he is pushing a pro Clinton stance I would bet he fears that Trump would work closely with Putin and that would end with Snowden going back to the US.
The file, which serves as a 'deadman's switch', is locked with 256-AES encryption and can only be opened by a second decryption key held by WikiLeaks.

So what may he now have that us informed people already know to be true and why is it valuable to Clinton? That's what I'd like to get into.
Snowden has nothing that China doesn't have already. Snowden has nothing that Russia doesn't have already. I guess the only thing left to assess is that Clinton is just as trustworthy an American adversary as is Russia and China. At least that's my take-away.
How much money has she siphoned off of other governments?
Did she not take over 21 million dollars in speaking fees from corporate America?
These people we're talking about here are Not loyal to the United States. All of their actions clearly indicate they are DISloyal to everyone except themselves and their own agendas.
How hard is this to comprehend?
Snowden personally might not have anything of value, thus the reason for his tweet I would surmise.
With all of the outside influence recently come to light and some suspected theories turned fact should we really hang the robber who saw the murder?
If the penalty for robbery is hanging ... then ... Yes, indeed. Snowden is guilty of a multitude of crimes.
The best part of his saga was where he first ran to China ... and the ran to Russia. He had previously held the keys to the kingdom. Am quite certain he was capable of installing a backdoor. Plus, he ran with four laptop computers. No telling what amounts of physical data he managed to make off with in person. Obviously, it was enough for the Chinese to pass him along to the Russians. And obviously, it was enough for Putin to offer him asylum.
He sold out America for his own personal benefit because he was a special snowflake. The guy deserves everything he's got coming ... and Putin deserves a hard smack in the face himself.
