I need more information. It looked like Snowden betrayed the U.S. so he should be executed.
Snowden did not betray the country. Clapper and the CIA/NSA did. Clapper was asked directly about widespread illegal domestic spying aimed at the American people. He lied to Congress right on TV and said no.
Snowden ripped down the curtain and exposed the deep state running wild and violating laws and every principle of the Republic. He saw what happened to Bill Binney when he tried to report wrongdoing to the AG, so he simply exposed it.
He deserves a medal.
He betrayed Clapper and Brennan not the USA. Clapper and Brennan were running the most pervasive domestic illegal spying operation in human history and lying.
You’ll have to do some research, Q driven like.
Your position is Trump’s current position:
“Many people think he should be somehow treated differently, and other people think he did very bad things.” Trump is doing the right thing by looking into it; he is not doing an emotional, political knee-jerk ...he does not assert because obozo illegally spied him, then Snowden did the right thing by exposing other obozo illegal spying.
The looking into a pardon is the right thing to do. It is established that obozo spied on Merkel, U.S. Senators, news media, and Trump, and used Lerner’s IRS to strongarm grassroot, small political opposition organization. So the track record is to believe that Snowden was railroaded for standing up against illegal spying. If the facts turn out that he was railroaded, then we would not be surprised given obozo’s corrupt administration.
Let’s not forget the homosexual soldier Manning who downloaded and released classified information, was convicted but then pardoned by obozo when it wouldn’t cost obozo any votes.
Trump’s doing the right thing to get all the facts, including whether Snowden spilled beans to our enemies, which is to be expected.
