"Hearsay" might even be the charitable interpretation.
In contrast, I an easily imagine whisper-campaigns designed to create a situation where Trump eventually gets about $THING on camera and he makes a knee-jerk decision to affirm it because he thinks it'll make him look good.

Well the federal government is just paying Palantir billions to do what Snowden uncovered. Are there any secrets anymore?

There was huge DoD and "intelligence community" outrage about Snowden's leaks. I imagine the Ministry of Truth hasn't deleted everything. Where will that outrage go?
Trump said he pardoned Ross Ulbricht "in honor of the Libertarian movement". What otherworldly reason will Trump give for pardoning Snowden?

If it's anything like the "negotiations" where the other party gets bombed before even leaving the venue, it could be a trap.
