A pardon for Snowden, Assange, and Chelsea would give Biden a lot of credit
Assange is different from the other two.
Agree with what Snowden and Manning did on whatever level you like but their actions aren’t the same unfortunately.
Of the 3 Snowden is feasible.
Assange is by a large margin less altruistic than the other two - all three have paid a steep penalty for their actions, though.
Assange only published leaks. He didn’t steal any material himself.
Is chelsea manning in need of a pardon? I thought Obama gave her one.
He commuted her sentence.
I wonder how other government bodies would take it
