Edit: He's got two problems now. According to reports, the president of Brazil has already denied his asylum claims on more than one occasion and has said that she has no intention of giving him asylum. That may or may not change.
The second thing is that he says he's been "vindicated" since a federal judge said that NSA surveillance was "most likely" (he appears to have completely missed the significance of that MOST LIKELY) unconstitutional. Since then, another judge has said that the surveillance is legal, but anyone who is even remotely familiar with the Patriot Act already knew that. So we've got "most likely" unconstitutional and most definitely legal, and neither of those give him a case for his claims of being a whistleblower meaning that his claims for asylum are that much shakier.
