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.





Then, Tony Gonzalez (R-TX) responds:

Snowden and Assange are Russian agents who pose a direct threat to US National interests. Clearly @TulsiGabbard
is full of more than just turkey.





To which, Tom Massie a Rep from Kentucky, a state known for bestowing the best sewage in government writes:

@RepThomasMassie
I try to never speak ill of another Congressman, because we all represent different districts and all worked hard to get elected. With that said, @TulsiPress is on the right side of history. I’m honored to be a cosponsor of her resolution urging @realDonaldTrump to pardon Assange

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.
