    I do understand why the state wants to prosecute him, but I also think the public deserved to know what Snowden revealed. It’s definitely the kind of thing the pardon power was created for, not for drug lords to bribe their way back into freedom.

      Because he exposed the state for being a massively illegal and corrupt pile of shit directly perpetrating crimes against not just the American public, but the world at large?

      Like yeah, I understand why cartels kill informants, that doesn’t make them justified in doing so.
