One more example of the president having balls of steel and being unafraid of taking on the corrupt shadow government that's been running the show for so long.

Trump says he will 'take a look' at pardon for Edward Snowden

President said at press conference he did not know much about whistleblower’s case

www.theguardian.com

Donald Trump said on Saturday that he would look at the issue of giving a pardon to whistleblower Edward Snowden.

Snowden disclosed highly classified information from the National Security Agency in 2013. He revealed the news covertly to the Guardian after he fled to Hong Kong, before flying to Moscow to avoid extradition back to America. He currently lives in Russia.

Snowden’s revelations of the extent of American communications surveillance caused a major domestic and international scandal and triggered an intense debate over government eavesdropping. To many civil liberties advocates Snowden became a hero, but to others he is seen as a traitor.

It's bullshit. Besides, doesn't someone have to be convicted of a crime before they can be pardoned?

No they don't. That said this is simply more B.S. out of Trump. If he was going to do that he would simply do it.

P.S. Ford pardoned Nixon even though he hadn't been convicted of anything.

And yet he fired his whistleblowers.

He was answering a reporter's question.

And yet he fired his whistleblowers.

Those are NOT whistleblowers.
The scum you're referring to are leakers, spies and traitors.

He didn't have any whistleblowers. Since there was no wrongdoing, they were merely leakers, not whistleblowers. But of course I wouldn't expect an idiot like you to comprehend the difference.

Snitches get stitches....or in this case the gallows.

At least thats what he deserves imo
