The real criminals are those @Snowden exposed: the security state officials like James Clapper and John Brennan who illegally and unconstitutionally spied on innocent people by the millions, and who still seek to do so. And they lied about it to the public.
"A US appellate court in September unanimously ruled the NSA’s program mass domestic surveillance program was illegal, as well as likely a violation of the 4th Amendment. The court, and the broader public, knew about this illegal surveillance by NSA only because of Snowden."
"So many of the arguments against pardoning Snowden’s, and demanding his lifelong imprisonment or exile come from the very security state operatives whose crimes he exposed." And they exclusively rely on demonstrable lies about him to make their case.
A pardon of Snowden by Donald Trump would be one of the greatest blows against Deep State abuse of secrecy and spying power in decades. It'd prompt bipartisan cheering across the U.S. and would engender support globally across the ideological spectrum.
