Trump didn't need special forces to free Asange. He was the most powerful man in the world, and could have used his constitutional powers as president to free Asange and Snowden using the flick of his wrist to sign a presidential pardon. If he was serious about "draining the swamp" he would have done so, because no two people have done more to drain the swamp in exposing the crimes and true character of the establishment than Asange and Snowden. Instead of pardoning those champions of truth, he pardoned rappers who hate his guts (the exception being lil wayne who completely deserved his pardon and is nothing less than an upstanding American and individual). The fact that trump didn't to do so, unfortunately, speaks volumes to me more than anything he did. Trump, while a good American and president, is not the perfect savior some people wish he was; and that was one of the times he revealed a deep flaw and failed. He wouldn't still be president, but he would have given a huge middle finger and done something actually subversive to his enemies, and the enemies of humanity

Fair point but it may honestly have been part of him not being seriously charged with those BS cases. Like - why haven’t they happened?

He should have pardoned Asange and Snowden in 2017 I agree with you - no debate there

I think Mitch told him the intel community would bury him if he pardoned Assange and Snowden. It was extremely disappointing that he didn't do it. But, to Sir Winston's post, the media would have had a fit that Trump jeopardized national security by doing so.
