President Trump, Isn’t it time to pardon Mr. Snowden?
President Trump, you were right. You were clearly spied on, as Edward Snowden points out.
Right or wrong, if a spy agency — via any method — intercepts, copies, or otherwise reviews your communications, they have spied on you. https://t.co/HeSzmJ66Xr

I don’t think we’d be having this conversation if it weren’t for the brave actions of one man, Edward Snowden.
Back in May of 2015, The Federal Court system ruled that the “bulk collection of telephone metadata by the National Security Agency is illegal.” A ruling that only came after Mr. Snowden’s revelations.
Part of ‘draining the swamp’ requires an honest assessment of the gross abuse of power by our Intelligence Community. An abuse of power I reckon you are feeling very keenly.
Pardoning Mr. Snowden would be a great way to begin this conversation and move towards having a global conversation on ensuring true freedom on the internet.
Here’s hoping.
