You know what's the difference between Chelsea Manning and a cow?

You can't milk Chelsea Manning for seven years... yet.

Amusing that the change.org petition to pardon Assange has 22,000+ signatures.
Trump, and many of his followers, probably thinks he can and should pardon him.

Hmm, but its Sweden that wants him for sex assault charges. Nothing to do with Trump.

Assange has not been charged with a crime in the US. What would the pardon be for?

He is "Red Listed" by Interpol (via charges in Sweden) as I recall but Interpol doesn't have arrest or charging powers but more of a "cooperation" between sovereign countries' law enforcement agencies in communication and, maybe, arrest where other treaties between countries bear it. But, if he wished Obama could pardon him, I think? Even though no crime (in the US) charged or convicted. Nixon, etc. Some interesting stuff below (opens a long pdf but discusses various interesting issues- such as if one is pardoned can it be introduced into court for a future offense, is a pardon accepting that one is guilty but simply relieved of the conviction etc.)

Not much coverage but the Billary pardoned a bunch of these terrorists as I recall in addition to their friend but Obama one-upped them and pardoned another terrorist. From the leftist "Guardian" so nobody can dispute "right-wing news." Obama seems bent on releases terrorists in his last days- whether Muslims from GITMO or more domestic ones.

I really don't think you're aware of how strongly the fact that your demonstrated incapacity of using language correctly renders your opinions worthless.

That is, they are worth less than those of any other person who knows how to read and spell.

And, further, in addition to all of that, you're stupid and incorrect.

You don't even rate a .gif any longer.

They don't have to be for anything. How stupid ignorant are you?

Oh, right. "Space" program.
