Listen to Snowden’s interview with Joe Rogan and you’ll be blown away at how patriotic, sincere, and intelligent he is. He deserves a pardon more than perhaps anyone else.

Trump, dude if you pardon Snowden, you will definitely pick up votes...do the right thing, Mr. President...

[carljensen]

Edward Snowden deserves a pardon and a medal.

[jeffreyjameson]

Edward Snowden is the opposite of our political class. Arguably a hero, thoughtful, well-spoken, poignant ... not decrepit... not a despot.

[frostbite]

Snowden should be pardoned. He showed the people what is really going on.

[meosh]

Susan Rice: I can't.
What she actually means: I can't go to jail.

[blackjack]

Snowden was marooned in Russia. He was gonna seek asylum in Cuba but was stopped when his passport was revoked.
He deserves to be able to return a free man.

[drake]

Some Dems even questioned Trump's motives like that even matters. Who cares why he would pardon. Snowden deserves to be pardoned.

[burkejones]

I think Susan Rice is more of a traitor than Edward Snowden.

[hormiiga_industriez]

I really hope trump does pardon Snowden.

[seer]

If Trump believes he may lose the election this might be considered a parting shot at the intelligence agencies.

[seanj]

Question is, would Snowden be safe in the U.S. after being pardoned

[petersepall]

The corporate Democrats want to reassure their rich donors that if the people resist their servitude they will be met with the repressive might of the state.

[mrfrosty]

So they're for keeping troops in Afghanistan and punishing whistleblowers. What ghastly people.

[normanbates]

God if he pardons him I would be so happy.

[sarahfern]

OK, Donald. You pardon Snowden & I'll vote for you.

[BenReillySpydr]

*"Probably illegal"* ??? Lol No Saagar it was *BLATANTLY ILLEGAL!* No "probably" about it. 😒

[gostavoadolfos]

I believe that Pamela Anderson supports Edward and Julian. Tag her on Twitter to talk to Trump about it.

[johnburns]

There was supposed to be a Pardon on the table for Julian Assange & look how that turned out.

[nightninjajay]

If he pardons him after the dnc convention...damn.
