What effects does a pardon have, other than on the individual? For example, would pardoning Assange reinforce the legal principle that his form of journalism is a crime?

I'm not a lawyer so I don't know but many insist he did nothing wrong. A pardon for Snowden would in theory remove his exile.

I agree. The irony is politicians have done far more harm to citizens than we may ever know, and most won't be living in exile. :/
