He's not getting a pardon anytime soon (which is a shame), but in the long run, I don't see how this hurts.

- acjohnson55 12y agoI wouldn't be so sure. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see a pardon as Obama's leaving office.
- TwoBit 12y agoI would be very surprised. Think about how much of what Snowden revealed reflected poorly on the Obama administration.
- dagw 12y agoI guess it really comes down to who has the last say. If it's Obama personally then I can see it happening. Being willing to pardon someone who has done you harm because it's the right thing to do is great way to build a nice legacy, especially since you're retiring anyway and it's no longer your problem.
