Since you're giving pardons to people, please consider pardoning those who, at great personal sacrifice, exposed the deception and criminality of those in the deep state.

@TulsiGabbard
Brave whistleblowers exposing lies & illegal actions in our government must be protected.
Join me and urge Congress: Pass my bipartisan legislation (HRes1162, HRes1175, HR8452) calling for charges against @snowden
& Assange to be dropped & to reform the Espionage Act.Link to tweet

(89,248 posts)2. Hillary was right
I got the chance to see Tulsi live during the primaries. I came away from her talk with the feeling that "there's a person who can not be trusted." It was just a gut feeling....Then, when Hillary made her statement--not naming Tulsi, but because of the content, Tulsi took it to mean her--I felt reassured of my impression of her.

personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long" -- but Russian agents OKAY! PERSONAL SACRIFICE NICE GUYS RUSSIA GOOD AMERICA BAD.
