I’m inclined to agree. I was conflicted on Snowden initially, but it seems like enemy of our enemy is our friend in this case, and our alphabet agencies have effectively gone rogue and need to get taken down a level. Pardon Assange too.

I am in the other camp. Snowden is a traitor who stole classified information and disclosed it publicly. I don’t forgive that, but then I am old and still believe in our country.

Yes! Pardon Snowden and Asssange. Yesterday. It would be great to hear Assange come clean about where he got the emails. He probably will never tell, but maybe a deal could be arranged...

Assange’s crime involved an army intel analyst who was pardoned by Obama. I didn’t agree with that pardon, but it doesn’t make sense that Assange is still pursued while his accomplice has been freed.

The analyst was a US citizen beside violating his security clearance. Assange is not a US citizen.

The left wants him jailed because he exposed the Clinton gang. That, for me, warrants a medal.

What about film maker Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, director of the movie “The Innocence of Muslims”?
His home was raided in the middle of the night by Special Forces. He was led from his home with face hidden under bandage wrappings back in 2013.
He was forced to go into hiding after being blamed by Hilary as ‘the cause’ of the Bengazi Raid.
Does he need some sort of Pardon?

As for Snowden, I don’t see him as a hero. But again, it doesn’t make sense for him to be prosecuted while Brennan and Clapper roam free.

Pardon him. And jail Brennan.

Eric Snowden has two uninterrupted interviews FREE to view on Joe Rogan’s podcast. I have watched them more than once and I highly reccomend them to you fellow freepers (they are on youtube right now and will soon just be available on Spotify as Rogan has scored a BIG deal with them. Initially when this broke in 2013 I was conflicted but as time went on and I heard his version it was obvious that he could have ridden out his life grabbing a check from NSA or CIA for life....he chose to exspose the illegality that was initiated by Dick Cheney lawyer David Atkinson.....what he showed was eventually ruled illegal....yet he is a fugitive....I agree a Pardon is in line.

You can pardon snowden all day long, he would never be able to step food back in the U.S. (or friendly nation) without regretting it.

“Snowden is a traitor who stole classified information and disclosed it publicly. I don’t forgive that,”

Yeah, but the classified information he disclosed was that our government is illegally spying on all of us. When the government uses classifying documents as a why to hide its misdeeds then it loses all presumption of legitimacy. Pardon him, he is a patriot.

Yeah, the Rogan interviews of Snowden are must viewing. It gives you a glimpse of just how deep the rabbit hole goes.

How did Snowden clear customs/immigration in Hong Kong AFTER the public release?
Why wouldn’t he FIRST travel to final destination prior to public release?
If wanted by the US govt would he be cleared to travel?
Who provided support to escape?

He would not have been able to get out of Hong Kong if CIA wanted him caught. He was an Obama tool all along.

What appeared in the MSN about what Eddie SnowJob’s betrayal had been in public domain for decades. That so man were unaware of what public data NSA collected is on them. There were at least two books and countless lectures.

The author does not believe he could have taken the Crown Jewels of NSA is based on his assumptions. He did, and what’s more he did it at the behest of his Chinese handlers - where he fled before moving on to Russia.

He was well paid for his theft of NSA’s Methods and Means of data collection - collection that keep this country and the world safe. As a bonus Eddie also got Project names, objectives, goals, and personnel files of foreign operatives, most of whom were rounded up and shot.

The German character that wrote this puff piece has the aim of glorifying not just Eddie, but to encourage others to follow in his footsteps.

After due consideration Eddie is in the same class as Aldrich Ames, Robert Hansen, the Rosenbergs, and little Missy Reality Winner. On further reflection Eddie should receive a full pardon of lead.

I believe in our country too... we all do. Take one look at the people Clinton and Obama pardoned... Hell, Obama’s campaign started in Bill Ayer’s dining room...
