fully pursue and prosecute Edward Snowden.

It's naive and absurd to believe that Russia and China have not been engaging in the same surveillance activities Andrew Snowden accuses the United States of carrying out. People should realize that it's because of the aggressive espionage and surveillance done by these countries that the United States must meet and counter these activities. Instead of making a villain of the USA, a major journalistic coup would instead have been to release information on Chinese and Russian surveillance before the journalist died suddenly.
