With a mere weeks to go in the Trump presidency, the clock is running out on the potential for a last-minute presidential pardon of either Edward Snowden or Julian Assange. Most see this as the last chance before Biden and his deep state national security state hawks begin their administration and slam the door on the possibility. In Snowden's case, Trump actually discussed the possibility of a pardon during an August interview with the NY Post, saying it's "certainly something I could look at".
This sparked a movement and growing chorus of activists calling on the president to pardon the pair.
