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.
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.
