mmm yeah... he troll'd the left about assange for a minute, too. and now assange is drugged out of his mind & incommunicado.

i'd not expect much from the US prez in terms of protection for weaklings like Assange & Snowden. better if they had some power to offer in trade, but who has that type of power?

I'm sure on a personal level he would, but Snowden's legal status is a glaring reminder that the swamp has definitely not been drained, and I can't imagine Trump would appreciate a public reminder of that in an election year.

"He should appeal to Trump. Pretty sure Trump would enjoy trolling the Left forever about it."

That's an interesting notion. Perhaps have Trump pardon him. Never gonna happen given who actually runs government.

There are a ton of people who are pro-Snowden who are anti-Trump so I do like the idea of watching the uproar. Honestly, I think that kind of paradox is good for peoples' minds.
