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

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?
