Representative Tulsi Gabbard has called on President Donald Trump to pardon National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower Edward Snowden and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange before he's set to leave office on January 20, 2021.
The Hawaii Democrat took to Twitter to highlight her own video message from October 6 and suggested that Trump use his presidential pardon power to grant clemency to the men, both of whom have been charged under the Espionage Act of 1917.
The president's recent pardon of former national security adviser and retired Lt. General Michael Flynn appears to have prompted Gabbard's comments. Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI in 2017 but later sought to withdraw that plea.
"Since you're giving pardons to people, please consider pardoning those who, at great personal sacrifice, exposed the deception and criminality of those in the deep state," Gabbard tweeted on Thursday, tagging Trump.

I’d let Manafort out also.
I’m down with that
Uh, yeah, like THAT is gonna happen.
I agree
Even though she’s a lib, she has more common ground with us than most. We should coalesce with her and dems like her where we find common ground, but never in violation of our core principles.
The only person leaving office in Jan will be Tulsi herself and Pelosi along with rest of the establishment Dems will breathe a sigh of relief.
No idea what she’s going to do next
Very interesting if true.
We just might yet bring Tulsi over to our side as she appears to be a fighter.
I can dream.
She is right ...oh , and hot . ^_^
“No idea what she’s going to do next”
Probably going after the Dalmatians!
She should primary one of the senators.. they’re both pretty useless
Sure thing ... President Trump can issue those pardons at any time during the next four years.
The pardons won’t matter.
These people will hunt them down for anything, legal/illegal, dox, and ruin them.
Pardon? they might actually be safer where they are. Isn’t that a real kick in the pants.
Did Tulsi lose her seat to a Republican? I hadn’t heard about her.
Interesting... I just looked it up

Schatz is UP in 2022. He is a useless leadership Yes man.
Gabbard should definitely have a go at unseating him.
She declined to run for the seat again
If they get away with the steal, it's going to take a wide range resistance movement, encompassing people of all political persuasions who share a common horror at what they see happening.
She probably got a really good job offer without all the headaches.
Do it.
Pardon Kyle Rittenhouse too.
I am for pretty much emptying the jails of non violent criminals who have served 1/2 their sentence. Let them run wild in the streets.
