I'm good with executing Snowden - right after we execute Hillary for substantially the same crime.
I'm not real big on "tiered justice" or "selective justice". If it's good for one, it's good for all. Until we get those above the law back under it, we need not be trying to apply it to the "little guys" either.
As far as classified information goes, there is way too damned much of it. last I checked, around FOUR THOUSAND documents, PER DAY, are classified as a matter of routine by the US government, regardless of whether they contain classifiable information or not.
That's not "transparency" by my definition. It's more like a trap set to catch the little guys in, while we let the big guys skate scot free.
Until the law gets under control and applies to all, pardon Snowden.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
