>The biggest hurdle at this point is, what does any European government have to gain from granting Snowden asylum?

Preventing the Russians from extracting information from Snowden that they haven't extracted already.

Why would France care about this? Unless Snowy had secrets about their country, why would anyone care? That's a lot of political capital spent with little return.

Plus, Snowden already blabbed about what the US was doing, why should they think that he hasn't already spilled the beans about other countries?
