Why would Trump consider Edward Snowden's opinion on pardoning Assange, and where is this chatter? Trump has never been supportive of Snowden in the past, as far as I have read.

He's never been vocally against either one. He has been asked about it and has suggested that he is considering it and recognizes that a lot of people think he should, but has never said one way or another.

  "ObamaCare is a disaster and Snowden is a spy who should be executed-but if it and he could reveal Obama's records,I might become a major fan" https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/395683702757662721 https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/39568370275766272...

    What is he even talking about? Snowden got his records from the NSA and passed it onto journalists. He had nothing with him by the time he got to Russia. How could he possibly reveal Obama's records, even if he wanted to? I feel like at least one Presidential briefing should have covered this. Also, what the fuck? That's not even a sentence. Was it so hard to find someone who could construct coherent sentences?

      That tweet was from 2013. And obviously people tweet very casually, just like in texts.

There was tweet from Snowden - https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1334608745192677380 https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1334608745192677380. Chatter has been at couple of discord servers I am on. It has been going on for long. But since Biden's win, it has picked up steam. Trump has always avoided the whole Snowden Assange wikileaks saga - for a guy with too much to say, it's interesting to note. Obama was quite tough on Snowden and Biden will continue. Trump will just do it out of spite against Obama & Dems and also hoping to get more followers with good hacking skills. Trump will do the right thing for all the wrong reasons.
