Why?

[Hostage]

Snowden should be executed.

[LongWayHome]

Interesting. Possibly this is linked to Seth Rich & Spygate.

[Vendome]

DO IT!

[Berlin_Freeper]

The plot thickens...

[libh8er]

Snowden should be given the presidential medal of freedom.

At the time Snowden was in the news I thought he was either the treasonous bastard they said he was or possibly a hero. After watching Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Mueller and the rest operate I’m leaning towards hero.

[TChad]

Interesting. A pardon sounds good, but I don’t know enough.

Without Snowden, we would not know that the NSA has been secretly spying on the phone calls of millions of American citizens - who we call, and how long we talk to them. We wouldn't know that the NSA searches our email content, our contact lists, or that the NSA has been accessing information about our Google and Yahoo accounts. Reports state that about 90% of the information obtained by the NSA through these means has no relevance to national security - it's simply private communication between American citizens that the NSA got access to, including the calls and texts of people NSA agents are romantically interested in.

I don't remember agreeing to live in a surveillance state that would have made Erich Honecker of East Germany proud. These people supposedly work for us - they are not our overlords.

Snowden broke the law in exposing the NSA's activities. To the extent that those activities consisted of spying on millions of innocent Americans going about their lives, I think he should be pardoned. If Snowden deliberately blew US intelligence operations against foreign enemies, he can face separate charges on those acts.

If Trump pardons him, Snowden will stop being a hero of the left. Trump will ruin his leftist street cred.

[DoodleDawg]

When Snowden fled he was aided by the Chinese and the Russians. They didn’t do that for free so the question is what he gave them for it? And what else did he have of to offer except classified information?

[Fester Chugabrew]

The net effect of a Snowden pardon would be minimal in terms of reducing or eliminating government snoops and corruption. It might increase talk about it for a while.

With all the talk of Shadowgate and snooping, one should ask himself whether he is able to resist gaslighting, disinformation, and the stated manipulations wrought by the same.

[chuckee]

Disagree with pardoning Snowden. Heng em high

[CincyRichieRich]

If PDJT says it, it is because he has the facts. He is PDJT, not us. His facts come from the actual sources, not what we see. He doesn’t tweet stuff that would make himself or the U.S. look stupid.

[2big2fail]

Snowden is a hero and deserving of a medal. He risked it all to
uphold the Constitution. Yes on pardon! He could come home and help slay the Deep State!

[mdmathis6]

He should be sentenced to spend a few years in jail then his sentence commuted.(NOT PARDONED!!!) He did wrong but he exposed a lot of wrongness in the system by doing so.

[GOPJ]

Snowden exposed corruption in our ‘intelligence’ services... little did we know how corrupt they were... Snowden did the country a favor showing us what they were really like...

If Brennan, Clapper, Page, Strzok,and Comey are walking free, so should Snowden.

Grant the pardon to Edward Snowden...

[Vaduz]

Going to be a lot of D.C. folks calling lawyers it’s full on CYA mode.
