FTA: "President Donald Trump is not expected to pardon whistleblowers Edward Snowden and Julian Assange before leaving office tomorrow, with Senate Republicans holding impeachment over his head to stop him from striking back against the deep state.

The Mercury News has reported that “Trump is also not expected to pardon Edward Snowden or Julian Assange, whose roles in revealing US secrets infuriated official Washington.”

“While he had once entertained the idea, Trump decided against it because he did not want to anger Senate Republicans who will soon determine whether he’s convicted during his Senate trial. Multiple GOP lawmakers had sent messages through aides that they felt strongly about not granting clemency to Assange or Snowden,” they wrote."

don't read the article then... if YOU don't trust BLP. Q says to use discernment. It is entirely up to you what to believe.

I am sorry--I wasn't criticizing you for posting a BLP article, though it likely sounded that way. I used to read them but I quit a couple years back--too many things bothered me. It doesn't hold water and they tend to get inflammatory

So yes, discernment. Can you yourself imagine POTUS refusing to act for fear of Senate Republicans? I don't believe a civilian can be impeached. Even so, that's a gross mischaracterization of POTUS .
