I think it would be the opposite.

The longer the story drags on, the more people will forget it. Especially if he is cornered in Russia.

I'd be curious about Snowden writing a book about his late years at the NSA.

It will be interesting to see the reception that Oliver Stone's film Snowden[0] will receive when released later this week. Anecdotally, most of my friends never seemed to care as much as I do and certainly care less now.

I'm more curious about Snowden's reaction to its accuracy.

I wonder if he was contacted by Oliver Stone, and what story he did tell, because from the trailer you can't really see anything really new.
