Pardon Snowden as well

Snowden was a CIA plant sent to damage the NSA. Here's why:

Snowden was a former CIA contractor (Sys Admin). https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/edward-snowden-interview/who-edward-snowden-man-who-spilled-nsas-secrets-n114861

Snowden only attacked the NSA. He had access and knowledge of CIA's attacks on privacy and did not release any of their information or tools. CIA tools that we now know about because Wikileaks got their hands on them and released it all. Backdoors to all kinds of systems. CIA can spy on US citizens, they just do it through other avenues by using FISA courts to target people in contact with US citizens or by using partners in Five Eyes.

The CIA spied on the Senate and got away with it. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/12/a-brief-history-of-the-cias-unpunished-spying-on-the-senate/384003/

Snowden was only concerned with the NSA but specifically ignored the shady shit that the CIA was doing. That's quite telling.

He was asked about pardoning Snowden a few months ago and said he would look into it.

Pardon Snowden instead. Julian does not seem to have our interests at heart.

YOu have it completely backwards

But if you wanted to basically not play favorites between the deepstate (cia) and the white hat patriots in the NSA, you'd just pardon them both, and President Trump should do exactly that.

He should also pardon "reality winner" because someone convinced her that her "sacrifice" was for the better of the country. They were wrong, and they foooled her, and she was a useless idiot in all of this

And there should be an unlimited pardon for Chelsea (Bradley) Manning for all matters related to the original incident and ANY matter that followed it.

Bradley Manning was guilty of embarrassing the US military by exposing that they killed civilians. That's a true whistleblower. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand the situation or they are a deepstate hench shill that is screeching 'commie', 'traitor' and not getting how in America we believe in transparency and accountability, not coverups of crimes and being a dick online and trying hard to screw up poeple's understanding of reality

We need to do a VASTLY better job of protecting whistleblowers, even if you don't like that the crime they exposed harms your political side....we need to get beyond that. If a Trump supporter diddled a little girl, WE NEED TO KNOW and hold them accountable. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. NO ONE

I don't care how he votes, he released information that Americans needed to see.
