Gary Johnson: ‘I’d look into pardoning Snowden’

Posted by | June 3, 2016 17:25 | Filed under: Politics


Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson says he’d like to pardon Edward Snowden.

“Well, by face justice, I don’t want to see him in prison,” Johnson told The Hardlineon NewsMaxTV.

“If I were president of the United States, I would certainly look into actually pardoning Edward Snowden,” Johnson continued. “This is someone who has divulged information that we would not know about currently and that’s the United States government spying on all of us as U.S. citizens.”

    unless someone can prove that Snowden released Intel that caused the harm of any of our people, I would consider putting his face up on Mount Rushmore.

    I only wish Americans cared more about losing some very important civil liberties. The people who whine and snivel about it and say they want to defend them, only care about having unlimited guns, not any of the other rights….they haven’t noticed that while they were flapping over the hyperbole of gun control they lost the rights that would protect them in keeping at least some of their guns.

    My husband used to be 100% against having to register guns….now there is no need to not register them. Drones and spy stuff that pictures of license plates and of people going into gun shows, there are agents at shows getting snaps of people, banking information, credit card information, just about everything is easy for the government to get access for. The gun lovers shouldn’t have been sleeping when the Patriot Act was pushed through with no debate?

    If Snowden can get an absentee ballot, Johnson will get one vote.

    Gee Gary – why don’t you pardon Shrub the Stupider and Darth Cheney too?

    What a dip.

      Their actions harmed our interests. Snowden didn’t. What a dip. :(
