As opposed to the non-existent controversy over Carter pardoning draft dodgers?
Or the non-existent controversy over Clinton pardoning Patty Hearst and members of the Weather Underground?
Or the non-existent controversy over Clinton pardoning his half-brother?
Or the non-existent controversy over Obama commuting the sentence of Chelsea Manning?
- CrazyPyroLinux 4y agoThat last one was a win.
- thakoppno 4y agoBetween Manning and Assange, whom do you think is more deserving of a pardon?
- CrazyPyroLinux 4y agoFalse dichotomy; pardon them both, plus Snowden. But if what you're fishing for is that Assange did more for the world, was more dis-proportionally persecuted with less legal justification, then yes.
- thakoppno 4y agoThe idea I’m trying to explore is the appropriateness of all the presidential pardon decisions. I agree with you, both deserve pardons. Listing the pardons by appropriateness is just one component that may help analyze the issue. That’s what I meant by asking the question.
