Schiff on Trump Possibly Pardoning Snowden: Some Kind of ‘Self-Interest’ Involved Here

‘Where is he getting a fascinating new-found interest in a pardon for Edward Snowden?’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SCHIFF: “Wolf, it’s really interesting. I don’t know what to make of it, because, of course, the president has been calling Snowden a traitor, saying he should be executed. Now he’s done this complete about-face. Really, inexplicably, where is this coming from? I have to say, it makes you wonder. Because we know so little of what the president discusses when he talks to Putin and Snowden is, of course, finding his safe refuge in Putin’s Russia right now. There are a lot of other things the president has said that have been inexplicable over time. Things like the, the soviets went into Afghanistan to fight terror. That’s a Russian propaganda narrative. Where is he getting a fascinating new-found interest in a pardon for Edward Snowden? One common denominator of Trump pardons. He doesn’t pardon anyone unless he thinks it’s in his personal self-interest. There’s probably more to the story.”
