Ed Snowden, who lied about the pardon that Glenn had asked for on his behalf just hours earlier (thus the reference to "another channel), also thinks the guy who fires whistleblowers by the dozens cares about whistleblowers. https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1304833482212900864

I mean, by all means, ask for a pardon. Just pitch it the way Glenn did, Ed: "Pardon me to piss off Obama's Deep State."

Don't pretend Trump gives fuckall about whistleblowers.

Again, I don't begrudge Snowden seeking for a pardon!

I do insist on honesty about it, and I do insist that Glenn be held to his pitch: that the only reason Trump would do this is to damage the IC (and he probably WILL do so on precisely those terms).
