Considering the Obama administration's actions towards whistle blowers, despite promising to be highly transparent, suggests Snowden will not be pardoned any time soon.
- rbanffy 10y agoIn his place, I'd only pardon Snowden and Manning after the election is decided.
- talmand 10y agoI would imagine the only way that Obama would pardon those two after the election is if Trump won. Clinton will most likely continue the practice of coming down hard on whistle blowers. It would not help her administration in this regard if Obama pardoned people for the very things she wishes to crack down on. If Trump wins then what difference does it make?
