    When a crooked politician calls me traitor, ask yourself: who did I betray? The courts have ruled repeatedly that the programs I revealed were unlawful, and likely unconstitutional—a violation of your rights. If this is treason, what they call loyalty is a crime.

    Don't miss this extraordinary profile of my good friend 's lifelong battle against impunity for official crimes. He is the reason many Bush-era officials—including Bush himself—have been afraid to travel to Europe.

    I would rather be without a state than without a voice.

    The failure to pardon Assange, Snowden and Ulbricht is a great final act of cowardice and submission to the Deep State.

    No pardons for Assange, Snowden, Ross Ulbricht, or uh...Kim Dotcom. Plenty for longtime GOP figures and white collar criminals. There's a particular type of extremely online person who only now has learned that Trump isn't their guy.

    He will be remembered as the president who just didn’t give a shit about any of that, only about his cronies and his wallet.

    Before people accuse going unpardoned as influencing my rhetoric, here are the receipts showing me saying exactly the same thing last year on national TV:

    The omission of Snowden, Assange, and Ulbricht, from the pardons and commutations list speaks volumes. The President went 0 for 3 in his final round with the swamp.

    I am not at all disappointed to go unpardoned by a man who has never known a love he had not paid for. But what supporters of his remain must never forgive that this simpering creature failed to pardon truth-tellers in far more desperate circumstances:

    On the with Brian Williams, many were surprised to hear I sought pardon for and others, rather than myself. But the President can end the war on whistleblowers at the stroke of a pen—and should. Watch here:

    So in the end, Trump pardons Blackwater war criminals, an Israeli spy, a bunch of financial fraudsters, shady political operatives, and even a couple rappers. But not Julian and Edward Snowden. No further commentary necessary, is there?

    A taste of disappointed commentary to come if Trump sides with Liz Cheney/Lindsey Graham section of GOP and turns down Matt Gaetz/Rand Paul, as CNN reports is likely

    Trump not pardoning Snowden, Assange, Ulbricht = bitch ass.

    It’s difficult to interpret a non pardon on Snowden and Assange as anything other than bending the knee to the deep state. Rough way to go out. Full surrender to the people who made it their mission to ruin him. Mission Accomplished.

    it's amazing how many people try to squint out a "good trump" by blaming all the things he does that they disagree with on his advisers. snowden, smart guy, does not.

    Oh yes, who can forget President Pat Cipollone? No, the failure to pardon Assange falls on one man, and history will remember it was not a White House lawyer.

    My thinking on the Assange pardon is very simple: setting aside all else, Trump will either be remembered as the first President since JFK who from his first to last day in office was hated by the NSA, CIA, and FBI, or as the one who caved to pressure at the very last moment.

    The prosecution of Assange is a direct threat to a free press & freedom of speech for every American. I urge President Trump to do the right thing: Take a stand for freedom & pardon Julian Assange as one of his final acts before leaving the White House.

    Pardon Julian Assange

    The consequences of a failure to pardon Assange mean he'll remain in prison indefinitely while the DOJ endlessly files meritless appeals out of spite.

    Brief extradition update- the US has lodged appeal paperwork (did so on Friday). Now has another fortnight to hand in the more detailed information on grounds for appeal.
