Snowden uses a lot more to defend himself than just https.
Snowden is in a situation where it would be a PR nightmare for the US if they were to touch him. That's not the same as being out of reach.
Snowden is in a situation where it could be nuclear war between Russia and the US if they were to touch him on Russian soil.
