I could easily see him doing just that while simultaneously charging George Zimmerman with violating the late Trayvon Martin's civil rights and releasing every black prisoner in America because they were "obviously profiled" by the man.

The CIC will make it a pardon without issuing one.

You know, you're probably right.

[Fresh Wind]

Why would he need a pardon? He served with “honor and distinction”. /s

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Hell, why not the Nobel Peace Prize?

[RandallFlagg]

I never even considered a Presidential pardon for Bergdahl.
I was guessing he’d suicide and become a martyr to be used against us.
“See? See what your criticism drove this fine, young soldier to do, you evil military commentators and right-wingers?!?”

Good morning 2ndDivisionVet, I hope you are well.

I’m having trouble understanding how a pardon would prevent an investigation. Yes, bergdahl (I refuse to capitalize his name out of disrespect) could be in the clear, but I’m sure the Army would want to know what caused him to walk away from his post. He would be treated by the public similar to O J Simpson after his criminal acquittal. I think he would maintain his “earned” status as a pariah.

What am I missing?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Of course he will be pardoned. That is yet another “In yo face!”

[Diogenesis]

Because Bergdahl was RESPONSIBLE for the deaths of Americans
then he will be pardoned by Obama (who covets both).

[ScottinVA]

I don’t doubt Obama would pardon Bergdahl, but so long as Obama occupies the WH, Bergdahl will never come to trial. It’ll be Hillary’s headache.

[I want the USA back]

Sending this guy to jail would go against the administration’s fabricated story about him. He will never be prosecuted. The big guy will see to it.

[N. Theknow]

Bowe Bergdahl = Rachel Corrie in camo

[Uncle Chip]

They were mean to poor Bowe.

If he can be believed it was only AFTER they had treated him so nicely and AFTER he betrayed their kindnesses by trying to escape, that they then put him in a cage where he should have been in the first place.

[sickoflibs]

A Pardon would imply assumed guilt, especially in this case.

[Mike Darancette]

He will be ruled incompetent to face courts martial, given a general discharge and sent on his way (keeping his pay).

[jch10]

Look for a plea of PTS, caused by his military service.
