In 2015 Trump said Snowden was a traitor that should be executed. Really doubt he's gonna pardon the guy.

He did say in a recent press conference that his administration was looking into pardoning him.

Oh come on Fed, you're trusting Trump to stand by his convictions?

What do you think would make him have a change of heart and start regarding whistleblowing as virtuous? The guy is used to being in charge, and he's done plenty of dirty deals behind the scenes. You think this guy would ever be fond of whistleblowers?

I misread, I thought you wrote he would pardon the guy. Was kinda drunk. That's a good point. I was thinking about it as Trump would never spend whatever political capital he has left to do that even if he felt it was right.
