I'll wait for other confirmation than Burns, wouldn't be surprised at all though.
Hopefully Snowden can get one.
Hopefully Snowden can get one.
Of course they do, he directly helped take down Hillary Clinton in 2016.
This shitbag (Burns) is a grifter. I don't doubt Trump is going to pardon him, but I'll wait for someone else to say it.
Because he's the Wikileaks guy who helped Trump win the election? I'm guessing Snowden gets nothing, but we will see.
Does Trump even know who Snowden is? He probably figures he's pardoning Assange for sexual assault charges.
Yeah that's true. Snowden probably not even on his radar unless someone whispers it to his ear.
ALSO. Keep in mind this is to detract from the electors officially voting in Biden because Trump is a petty little bitch.
no, i'm not. all charges against him sound like bullshit.
as far as america is concerned, that is. i don't know about his rape charges, but that's sweden's business.
Julian Assange’s Hatred of Hillary Clinton Was No Secret. His Advice to Donald Trump Was.
Some longtime supporters of Julian Assange were appalled when his secret correspondence with the Trump campaign was revealed this week.

They wanted him to be executed up until about 4 years ago. No joke.
Chelsea Manning angle aside, Trump pardoned both sides of the connection between Wikileaks and his 2016 presidential campaign (Roger Stone being the other), with neither man ever admitting their relationship.
I've been told quite a few times "You cant just assume Russia are behind everything", but it's strange how if you ponder every single decision Trump makes, they all benefit Putin somehow.
In 2016 (and its aftermath):
Trump offered WikiLeaks' Julian Assange a pardon if he covered up Russian hacking of Democrats, lawyer tells court (CNBC)

- Russia hacked the DNC/Podesta.
- Russia gave e-mails to WikiLeaks.
- WikiLeaks coordinated with Trump campaign to release the e-mails (right after they found out about the Access Hollywood tape).
- Assange lied about the origin of the hacked e-mails, claiming they weren't from Russia.
- Russia also hacked the RNC, but those e-mails were never released.

Also note that Roger Stone also floated the likelihood of a pardon to Assange:
FBI documents reveal that Roger Stone was in direct communication with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange
Stone reassured Assange in a Twitter message that if prosecutors came after him, "I will bring down the entire house of cards."

So assange took the deal? Seems to me that giving someone a pardon in exchange for covering up evidence of a crime is, a crime.
Trump in 2010 on Wikileaks:
"I think it's disgraceful, I think there should be like death penalty or something."
