Here is the case for @realDonaldTrump pardoning Ross Ulbricht.
It is highly cynical and also effective.
First, Trump would lose no support by pardoning Ross.
Second, Trump would either GAIN supporters through this action, or he would neutralize attackers.
A thread....
Smartest, most visionary people in tech work on the blockchain.
100% of blockchain people want Ross Ulbricht pardoned.
Blockchain people mostly dislike @realDonaldTrump.
Trump pardons Ross, and smartest people in tech start to like Trump or lose hate for him.
Also...
The same people who targeted @realDonaldTrump and his son went after Ross Ulbricht.
Pardoning Ross is, outside of ending the Mueller investigation, the single most triggering action Trump could take.
Pardoning Ross Ulbricht would make the deep state apoplectic.
There is a "justice" case to be made for @realDonaldTrump pardoning Ross Ulbricht, but that's for the idealists.
Raw politics
- Trump loses no supporters.
- Trump GAINS (or gets fewer hater) from the most talented people in tech / blockchain.
- Trump outrages deep state.
Also, Ross Ulbricht's mom is bright, articulate.
Pardoning Ross, with his mom present, is GOOD OPTICS.
Plus, I know Kanye and Kim are cool and all, but here's the level of support #FreeRoss has.
It's unlike any other movement.https://breakermag.com/lyn-ulbricht-pushed-herself-to-the-brink-of-death-for-freeross-her-last-best-hope-president-trump/ …
Trump has some challenges with women.
He pardons Ross, and this becomes a spokeswoman for him.
Pardoning Ross is all upside for @realDonaldTrump with zero loss of support.
It would be the smartest investment of his presidency.https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/1058454002575130624 …
Counter-argument to pardoning Ross Ulbricht: - Ross hired someone to murder a rival (FAKE NEWS, was debunked). - Tough on crime people would be angry. (Sure, but it wouldn't cost Trump votes, and he would more than make up for their anger with newfound supporters.)
Ross Ulbricht is facing an injustice, but this is politics. NO ONE CARES.
A pardon (commutation actually, not a full pardon) is the right political move for @realDonaldTrump.
And there is a lot of fake news about Ross.

Plus pardoning Ross is the ethical, right thing to do based on the unjust punishment he was given and it’s a waste of Ross’s life and our tax money and an abuse of our criminal justice system. Thanks for sharing the thread!
@RealRossU has made it known that if pardoned, he would spend the rest of his free life living peacefully serving his community traditionally. I propose, that’s the example we should all be setting and @RealRossU has the will and ability to build leaders that will do the same.
Thank you so much Mike for your continued and steadfast support for our struggle to #FreeRoss and for your valuable insights. You always nail it.
Thank you for your work on this, Mike. I am hopeful @realDonaldTrump will listen.
@KimKardashian Can you bring Ross Ulbricht's case to the attention of Jared & Ivanka? Donald has invited celebrities to continue to bring pardons to his attention for consideration. It would be greatly appreciated by Ross's mom if he was pardoned or had his sentence commuted. Thx
@POTUS @WhiteHouse @IvankaTrump @EricTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr @LaraLeaTrump We in the #MAGA movement would be grateful if @realDonaldTrump would review Ross's case asap and consider him for a pardon or commuted sentence. Thank you. @kimguilfoyle
The pardon trifecta is Ross, Assange and Snowden.
I do agree here...let’s go!
You’re making this more about @realDonaldTrump than you are Ross Ulbricht though. I disagree that most people in crypto dislike Trump...
