If President Trump is re-elected I hope he will consider a pardon for Mr. Snowden. If anyone has seen first hand what the abuse of the surveillance state can do, it's the President. Snowden's whistleblowing clarified to all of us around the world who admired President Obama, that he was no better than his predecessor in this regard.

I'm skeptical whether a President Harris would consider it. She does not strike me as the forgiving type. She would earn a lot of respect from many around the world, if she did.
