Edward Snowden says Obama should grant him a pardon for disclosing government surveil

[wan]

Edward Snowden has set out the case for Barack Obama granting him a pardon before the US president leaves office in January, arguing that the disclosure of the scale of surveillance by US and British intelligence agencies was not only morally right but had left citizens better off.

Obama's former attorney general Eric Holder gave an unexpected boost to the campaign for a pardon in May when he said Snowden had performed a public service.

For Snowden, his campaign for a pardon, even if forlorn, offers a chance to highlight his plight, and he expressed thanks to all those who were backing it.

Doubt he will be getting a pardon, Obama called it treason at the climax of the event.

if obama gives him this, he really will earn the title of "softest" president, even if he wants to, he will not. He will leave that decision up to the next president.

I don't really know what to think about this.

It's unlikely, but maybe Obama will say fuck it and pardon him.

[Lupin]

If Obama won't do it, then he has almost no chance of getting a pardon any time soon since Trump doesn't like him either

Honestly Hopefully he does get a Pardon,Obama is a wise-man who makes stupid decisions.
