Legitimately question: Is that even possible if Snowden hasn't been charged with all of the crimes he could have been charged with? What I mean is that Obama's pardon power doesn't pardon an action, but rather specific violations of the law that prosecutors have brought against him. So what would stop people prosecuting him anyway even if he was pardoned but for other similar offenses?
