Phhhttt. Pardon Snowden. Investigate Graham.
I bet I'll be disappointed on all accounts.
Only if, they have to make room for one of the Sniffer fraud makers.
“I really don’t think any sane person would advise him to start compromising our national security right now.”
As President, Trump is the sole judge of what is in our national security interests.
“I really don’t think any sane person would advise him to start compromising our national security right now.“
I don’t think you understand what’s going on.
The counter intelligence agencies have become completely infiltrated by deep state traitors. Rather than defend us, they themselves represent an existential threat to national security.
They abuse their powers of information classification to hold themselves unaccountable to the American people.
Intending to fight terrorism and thwart foreign attacks, we gave them expanded powers via the Patriot act - which they have turned against us, and against the President. We have created a monster.
Exposing their dirty secrets is no longer compromising national security - it is in the interest of national security.
Why should we believe General Dempsey when he works for the NSA and Snowden proved that the NSA habitually lies to the American people?
Nope.
The Deep State and the War Caucus were in a frenzy when that happened — “How will we survive? The terrorists will surely overrun us!”
The Deep State and the War Caucus aren't worried about terrorists. That's just the boogey man they use to scare us into accepting the draconian invasion into our lives that is part and parcel of the Patriot Act. It's all part of the plan to totally control our lives through a social credit system ala Red China's invasive system that's already in place.

let’s not go overboard and call the man a hero. I can think of thousands of firefighters, cops, service members, ambulance drivers, etc who are heroes or performed heroic acts.
call Snowden what he is: a whistleblower.
there’s no positive or negative connotation there.
now the media can throw adjectives in to set their agenda
CNN: convicted whistleblower
MSNBC: disgraced whistleblower
NY times: unpatriotic whistleblower
Not without a whole lot of confessing on Snowden’s part. He fled the U.S. to China who sheltered and aided him until he went to Russia. Neither country do something like that out of altruism. They’re paid, and the only currency Snowden had was U.S. secrets. What did he give them?
He should be pardoned and given back-pay.
If I was Trump, I would pardon Joe Biden. I’d make a statement that it’s not right a senile old man should go to jail, now with this pardon Joe is free to do the right thing and cooperate with authorities in the case against his son.
Then sit back and watch the libs heads explode.
He is no hero.
He violated his nondisclosure agreement and federal law relating to safeguarding classified information he accessed while holding a clearance.
He’s in the same league as Jonathan Pollard and deserves similar treatment.
Snowden = Yes. Assange = No!
Like I’m supposed to believe or care about what some Obama era General has to say about it.
If Obama wouldn’t pardon Snowden then maybe Trump should.
“worked for the Chinese”
YOur the first person to make that accusation, to include the US government.
The damage to sources and methods is far outweighed by informing the American people of the FACT their government was ignoring the law and spying on them.
All of them.
He’s a hero.
In light of the cyber attack today I suspect it won’t happen. Probably the cyber attack was faked to stop Trump from pardoning him. Also Assange.
absolutely.
it pisses off the russiaphobes in state... and russia IS an enemy of ours.. but c’mon... we KNOW he did NOT want to spy on Americans... and that is the software he was supposed to build and develop: prism related garbage.
