So at this time, why would Russia keep him in their custody? Are they really protecting him or will they hand him over to the U.S. under some sort of deal?

It is very likely that his passport has been revoked, and likely surrendered since the story broke.
Without a passport, you can receive no visas to travel between nations.
It's all part of human "freedom."

My theory about Snowden is simple :
Is not what he told, it's what he didn't tell yet. The reasons they are chasing him are just a cover up for something bigger. They know once he feels 100% safe, the pandora box will be open.
Remember my words.

I don't think Russian would just deport him back to the u.s. just yet, I bet they're milking him dry. But if Russia has or knows everything about the nsa program them why hold him.
