Trump apparently didn't pardon Assange or Snowden because McConnell coldly told him that Trump would be convicted in the Senate during the second impeachment if he pardoned them.
Too many people erroneously think Trump is a devil may care badass who bows to no one when in reality he has completely capitulated to McConnell on more than one occasion.
