Petition to Pardon Edward SnowdensteemCreated with Sketch.

in #security7 years ago (edited)

I've written several things following the Edward Snowden case.  I reviewed the movie, and the book on which it was based, and resteemed a recent interview.  There's now a petition online for President Obama to pardon Snowden before he leaves office.  He's on kind of a roll recently, though he's mostly shortening sentences (clemency) rather than issuing full pardons.

Of course, there's no guarantee the Russian government would actually let him go.

Sort:  

Also no guaranty that he wouldn't be charged with something new if Obama issued a pardon for pending charges. But the pardon would be a good first step.

True, true. I think he'd actually welcome a trial, from what I've seen. That would raise the issue's profile in a big way, for an extended period, and a whole lot of stuff would enter court records.

Seem reasonable.
If Hillary( and many of her staff) are not charged and prosecuted then neither should he be.
