Yeah, I think Snowden is getting a whitewash courtesy of hollywood. From: George Skorup Sent: Sunday, September 18, 2016 4:43 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Being a good citizen
He signed a contract. If he saw things being done that he believed were against the constitution, then he should've went to his superiors and said that he cannot carry out his duties since he feels that they are unlawful. Then walked out, got a lawyer and said not a fucking thing about anything classified. He leaked info that our enemies used against us. He's a traitor, plain and simple. Not a hero. He deserves no pardon and no sympathy. I'm all for whistle blowing, standing up for the rights of the people and the spirit of the constitution and all that, but he went about it completely the wrong way. And look where it got him. Idiot.

That’s a lot of savings, or he’s eating a lot of ramen noodles. I guess Vladimir could let him live there for free just to piss off the US. And Russia has good hackers of their own (maybe Fancy Bear and Cozy Bear will get their own movies), so maybe they haven’t needed any help in the recent hacks. Certainly Assange seems to be in bed with Pootie-Poot. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/08/01/julian-assange-donald-trump-and-vladimir-putin-a-troika-for-our-insane-era.html From: Jaime Solorza Sent: Sunday, September 18, 2016 4:13 PM To: Animal Farm Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Being a good citizen You mean Trumpass, Trumpfuck, Trumpshit... worse than calling one a chickenshit On Sep 18, 2016 3:08 PM, "Ken Hohhof" <af...@kwisp.com> wrote: Pled guilty and spent 9 months in federal prison for selling bongs over the Internet. Unlike a certain person who fled to Russia rather than defend his actions in court, but wants a pardon to return. I thought you had to be convicted first to be pardoned, but then I remembered Gerald Ford preemptively pardoned Richard Nixon. Obama might pardon Chong. Snowden will have to hope for a pardon from President Trumputin.

Petition Title: Pardon Tommy Chong This Petition is written to request that Tommy Chong be granted a full Presidential Pardon. We believe this to be fair as first the nature of the offense was neither violent nor the cause of any harm to any person or place. Second, we feel this was done to make an example of Tommy Chong during a period when unfettered persecution took place against those who sought to give adults the choice of whether they wanted to use Cannabis products on a voluntary basis either for medical purposes or recreationally which is now the law in many States and is permissible under the law in other States. We respectfully request that Tommy Chong be granted a full Presidential Pardon and submit the signatures of the signees below who agree this to be a fair and just act on their behalf.
