Prosecution theory is easy. They are charging Snowden with leaking classified information to persons who aren’t entitled to that information.

What’s truly questionable and bizarre is your loco defense. You repeatedly claim Snowden’s a whistleblower on FISA violations, and yet none have been shown. It’s all hypothetical.

Snowden claims he’s all about protecting the country, and yet every release undermines US national security.

What does revealing NSA sites overseas have to do with FISA or Patriot Act?

What does jetting off to Hong Kong or Moscow, or seeing asylum in a foreign country have to do with whistleblowing asylum.

Here’s a hint: Nothing.

It’s the sign of someone in over their head and trying to retcon excuses for stealing classified information and giving them over to third parties for publication or other nefarious use. That’s not whistleblowing.

That’s attempting to justify the theft of national secrets and classified information.
