Can someone who is familiar with the US law system shine some light on this matter?
Well, to pardon someone they first need to pass a sentence, right? This didn’t happen yet, and the process would probably take longer than Trump‘s current term. Can someone who is familiar with the US law system shine some light on this matter?

I don't think so. Wasn't it common knowledge that the Government had access to emails via ISPs and shredder well before Snowden's revelations? What was revealing, I guess was some of the technical details of how it was being done.
Part of why Google decided to speed up their timeline on encrypting traffic across their internal network is because they learned the NSA tapped into it.

He deported Covid-positive people to Guatemala and has worked against the WHO, so... some of them, yes.
This comment is logically inconsistent. If the USA's handling of Covid is so awful, then by definition an infected person would get better treatment somewhere else, like Guatemala.
Also repeal the "PATRIOT" Act while you're thinking about doing the right thing...
Presidents can't repeal laws. Only congress can do that.
Even in the title, Reuters editorializes blatantly by labeling Snowden "leaker." And the downvotes here are already clearly politically motivated.

Not saying its a wrong assumption, but libertarians are typically a lot more concerned by trade and individual freedoms than whistleblower issues if you were to list up their top priorities.
Everyone has their own pet definition of libertarian. Call it techno-libertarianism if you want. What's clear is Trump has very powerful allies in Silicon Valley and has figured out that he only has to tap the tiny minority of right wing sympathy at Facebook etc and they will let him do whatever he wants. The idea that web companies are liberal and unfair to conservatives is popular and widespread. Appealing to other…

His racism has been apparent for longer than the last 3.5 years [1]. [1] https://www.vox.com/2016/7/25/12270880/donald-trump-racist-r...
In typical Vox fashion, that article is really stretching to make a point. A few examples: - "Trump Management Corporation" accused of racism, not Trump himself - Trump pays for ad saying “Central Park Five” should be executed. They were innocent. But apparently that's racist? - In The Apprentice TV show, Trump said of a black person “You’re an unbelievably talented guy in terms of education, and you haven’t done any…

Sure, the most important one. Hasn't invaded any new countries.
He's done his fair bit of missile-ing and bombing. One also wonders why his silence on the Russian contract killing is so deafening...
Separately, the US has been aggressive against Russia on sanctions and other moves, which the media does not cover. US moves against Russia does not advance the narrative which suggest US only does Russia's bidding. Media outlets are being very selective with coverage to push their agenda.
