Seven years ago, Trump said Snowden should be executed.
Four years ago, in an interview, Obama refused to pardon Snowden.
I’d say this is a notable development.
- curiousgal 6y agoHonestly who cares? The guy is actively trying to undermine your (flawed) democracy. Anything he does or says is moot and serves merely as a distraction.
- ttyprintk 6y agoI think parent is trying to draw a trendline toward executive forgiveness. A Trump pardon is different than an Obama pardon. This is about Trump, not Snowden, and not about the issues of the modern surveillance state as demonstrated by Snowden. A Snowden pardon by Trump will have a clause where Snowden promises to appear on stage at a rally. (edit, clarity)
- surround 6y agoNo, that’s not what I’m saying.
