Any Chance Edward Snowden is involved in Protests in Russia ?

I ask because I can't find any news from him recently . His twitter last has posts from Inauguration day trying to push for Assange and himself to be pardoned and some things about how Trump was being silenced . It's strange that he wouldn't comment on what is going on in Russia with the protests considering the issues he claims to care about .

He is in Russia at Putin’s pleasure. Russia is a mobbed up pariah.

There is also the CIA. I find the timing interesting that it seems like something changed last week.

Welcome Vlad to the Biden Administration.

He's currently pretending the Deep State pressured Donny not to pardon Ass***e: it completely escaped Eddie's official attention that Donny Two Scoops is the guy who had Ass***e indicted and who sought extradition

My own guess is that Putin told Donny to shove Ass***e in jail to keep him quiet about his 2016 role, and that Snowden is just a useful idiot for the Putinists
