Trump on truth social

I just called the mother of Ross William Ulbright to let her know that in honor of her and the Libertarian Movement, which supported me so strongly, it was my pleasure to have just signed a full and unconditional pardon of her son, Ross. The scum that worked to convict him were some of the same lunatics who were involved in the modern day weaponization of government against me. He was given two life sentences, plus 40 years. Ridiculous!

"This is a good thing."

Why?
I don't know a lot about the case but he seems a bit shady, did the powers that be set him up or something?

I disagree with this pardon. This guy built a dark-web drug empire. Coke? Heroin? Delivered to your doorstep.

I’m pro pot-legalization but hard drugs are awful.

“Edward Snowden next.”

I like what he said about how much of a threat to national security he is. The Neocons got a warrant against him, but he managed to make it to Russia (by accident), the sworn enemy of the Neocons. And then nothing...the Neocons seemed happy for him to be stuck in Russia (passport revoked), EXACTLY the WORST PLACE for the Neocons to have him spilling all his secrets.

In other words, if he was such a ‘threat’ to national security, why did the Neocons make him stay where he could do the most damage to the US? Answer...he was never a threat, just another political prosecution attempt.

Wow! A full pardon!

I think most were just hoping for a commutation.

When Trump was in office the first time, I read that Snowden didn’t want a pardon from Trump. Because he doesn’t like Trump. What a dork.

Not really. Just putting it out there for those who don’t recognize the name. If you want more it’s easy to lookup. 😁

Not familiar with him. I hope he's no relation to Walter Ulbricht.
