    I doubt Trump will do anything that could be perceived as encouraging more whistleblowers, at least while he’s in office.

    Best case—a Democrat wins the next election, Trump gives up on trying to stop it, and pardons Snowden on his way out.

      Lol, imagine the villain wanting to cause chaos and inadvertently doing the right thing. While the protagonists stick to their “norms and traditions”, even if the norm are wrong. Ironic.
