NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden is "considering' returning to the United States if certain conditions are met, his lawyer told Germany's Der Spiegel.

"There are negotiations," Snowden's German lawyer Wolfgang Kaleck said, according to a translation on RT.com, a news agency based in Russia. "Those who know the case are aware that an amicable agreement with the U.S. authorities will be most reasonable," Kaleck said.

Snowden is not involved in the negotations, Kaleck told Der Spiegel.

Snowden would be an idiot to come back. However, he could stay in the game halfway by setting up a clearinghouse in a very neutral country, as a drop box for anonymous whistleblowers from around the world.

This would be the fastest way for him to become less of an issue himself.

He can cut a deal with the government.

He can’t cut a deal with the American people. Somebody will off his ass.

Like Lee Harvey Oswald, his expectations haven’t been met.
