If President Trump is re-elected I hope he will consider a pardon for Mr. Snowden. If anyone has seen first hand what the abuse of the surveillance state can do, it's the President. Snowden's whistleblowing clarified to all of us around the world who admired President Obama, that he was no better than his predecessor in this regard.

I'm skeptical whether a President Harris would consider it. She does not strike me as the forgiving type. She would earn a lot of respect from many around the world, if she did.

Unless somebody is naive it should be clear that trump and biden or any other government official agree on the importance of having upper hand in information and data collection.

Ask yourself why would you reward edward snowden type of action on your own government.

I mean look out the competition, china, russia, israel iran... Etc.

Ask yourself again would you do it? For what? What would you gain if you were trump or harris or biden. What is in it for you?

It really disappoints me to see people who can't see the stage drama and ground facts separately.

Any US government should not and would not pardon snowden in the coming ten years.
