"President Trump polled his aides on Thursday about whether he should let anti-surveillance whistleblower and leaker Edward Snowden return to the US from Russia without going to prison, saying he was open to it.

“There are a lot of people that think that he is not being treated fairly. I mean, I hear that,” Trump told The Post in an exclusive interview in the Oval Office, before soliciting views from his staff."...(more)

19. Trump's trying to get votes from the left. He doesn't give a

crap about Snowden. Putin probably told him this would be a good tactic.

16. Snowden Says Don't Fear Trump (2016)

Edward Snowden doesn't appear as worried about the election of Donald Trump as half of America is. Speaking from Moscow today, in a live stream hosted by private search engine maker StartPage, Snowden said that for those concerned about privacy, they should not worry too much about Trump, they are the ones who can make a change. In a remarkably optimistic speech, he said the focus of the global populace should be on providing worldwide protections from spies and that this was entirely possible ...

... Trump has had some somewhat negative words to say about Snowden in the past. Indeed, he's repeatedly called for his execution, though did tweet he'd be a fan if he leaked President Obama's records ...

18. Maybe he plans to use Snowden to hack our voting systems

in exchange for making it so he can return to the United States and not face charges.

20. Of course, they both love Putin.
