Snowden deserves a pardon.
Exposing crimes is not a crime. It is a heroic service to the American people.
If anything, he should be given the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Strongly agree with this. Sadly, there is a long list of politically motivated persecusions, but society should focus on the big ones first. Samourai, Snowden
THEN, the corrupt system that persecuted those individuals should be dismantled to ensure its unlikely to happen again.
I also despise everything that came out of 9/11 too btw
Forget the conspiracy angle, you can believe that if you want but I think it’s not likely
But what we do know is bill binney talking about the fact they’d have stopped it happening if they used thinthread, we know assange was unfairly prosecuted and we know nsa’s activities exposed by Snowden were ruled illegal by the ninth circuit (so also unfairly prosecuted)
This in addition to signals being ignored that might have stopped it, as far as I know
And the answer the authorities have is more surveillance and go after the whistleblowers?
Not to speak for the dead - but I don’t think that’s what the people who died in the towers or planes or pentagon would have wanted and it does them a disservice
