Why would they do that? It is a crime, plain and simple. I wouldn't think that they had balls. I would think that they are a stupid criminal. And you think that a Democratic president might pardon them? Why? Because the law should be this arbitrary thing that we apply in accordance with our partisan bias? We can break the law and it's OK, but if someone on the other side of the partisan divide breaks the law we throw the freaking book at them?
Edward Snowden broke the law too. But he exposed something that needed to be exposed.
