Why the hell did he not pardon Assange, Ulbricht, Snowoden, Kiriakou and other whistleblowers? I mean, WTF! He should have said fuck Mitch McConnell at that point then. I mean, he was sympathetic to Ulbricht so I have no idea why he was not pardoned at the very least. If it is true he told Mike Pence that he can either go down in History as a Patriot or a Pussy. I mean, the same can be said here. I love you Mr.President, but in my mind, you fucked up on this one.

He apparently sees a light at the end of the tunnel for himself, politically, and wants to go for it. Okay. I feel like I need Donald Trump in politics maybe more than I need Julian Assange, et al. Mainly because what whistleblowers deliver is evidence, and where has evidence gotten us so far?
Yeah, but Idk. Free Speech goes beyond him though. Pardoning Assange, or at the very least Ulbricht, would have been something instead of nothing for standing up for Free Speech.
