Absolutely. While it's true he broke the law, he did so to inform the public that the government was breaking the law and in doing so, violating our rights. And instead of coming clean and owning up to the transgressions, they charge Snowden with a crime, which sort of just proves Snowden's point.

Odd logic to call for indicting Hillary Clinton for a few mis directed emails then talk about pardoning Snowden who took tens of thousands of classified pieces of information and gave them to the Chinese and Russians.

A few misdirected emails resulting in dead Americans.

What did Snowden give to the Russians and Chinese?

And why did he publicize it unlike sleaze balls like these?

GEN. DAVID PETRAEUS SENTENCED
The eight notebooks he lent to his mistress, fellow West Point ring-knocker MAJ Paula Broadwell, author of a puff-piece book on the over-rated general, contained highly classified information, including names of covert officers, war strategy, etc.

See any differences?


Oh i know another one? With Snowden its "Thanks for the info", not Snowden for president.

This is exactly it, the gov is just pissed off because he invaded their privacy.

See something, SAY something. . . unless it's related to your government.

Go ahead and start a poll about Hillary, I'll respond.
Did you not learn anything about 'figuratives' before you flunked third grade?

That said, while I clicked yes that doesn't really get it. There should be no reason to have to pardon him.

Whistleblowers are suppose to be protected from prosecution. Those who ignore our laws are the ones that should he facing this question.
He delivered classified information to the Chinese, so he is more than a whistle blower.

No he didn't. You are thinking about Hillary and her emails.

He granted him immunity, like Obama granted immunity to Bush & his admin.
