Guys, he isn’t pardoning Assange or Snowden until after the election. I know in this community people think they are heroes, but there are a lot of Republicans and independents who have the opposite view.
I am personally indifferent. I don’t think Assange will have nearly as much influence if he is no longer wanted by the US. And Snowden is just another Bernie loving cuck that we would be letting back into the country.
I just explained why he hasn’t pardoned him yet. I personally know tons of Republicans that despise Assange. If Trump pardons him, it will be something he does on his last day in office.
I agree about Snowden. My biggest problem with him is that he didn’t reveal anything that we didn’t already know. It was like he was doing it for political reasons and to get attention. And what is his solution? Elect people like Bernie who say they want to “end corruption” when in reality they would just be making the government way more powerful. Snowden is kind of a huge idiot. I blame the soy.
Sure, many people knew generally of our government's illegal spying, but they didn't have much proof and were often called crazy conspiracy theorists. Snowden releasing the documents proved it beyond a doubt and showed the extent to be much more massive that anyone thought. Proof is important.
Snowden validated all the tinfoil hat wearers. That should have been a big step in reuniting a large chunk of our country in addition to making people have a healthy dose of reality: The government is a necessary evil, but it is an evil entity.
Assange took as many steps as he could to avoid recklessly endangering people with his releases, and everything he has ever released is verified as true.

I wish he could void Bradley Manning's pardon.
ASSANGE YES
SNOWDEN NO
How about posthumously pardoning Seth Rich?
