Please pardon the vanity, but in light of today's commutation of traitor Chelsea Manning's sentence, is there any doubt that Obama will pardon Bowe Bergdahl?
Obama has a much greater stake in Bowe Bergdahl than he ever had in the Chelsea Manning case. He had the Rose Garden ceremony with Bergdahl's parents where Obama ignored Bergdahl's desertion, misbehavior before the enemy, and that Americans died trying to rescue him. In addition, Obama put very heavy pressure on the Army to soft-pedal any criminal charges, or even avoid them completely.
Obama sees Bergdahl coming back to US as part of his "legacy" and a way to again denigrate our military. It is only Tuesday and Obama has 3 days left to grant the pardons that will really infuriate the public, especially the Armed Forces.
And yes, to answer a few legal questions, a pardon is absolute, cannot be revoked, and does not require a conviction before it is granted.
Call your Congressman tonight and demand Bergdahl not be released.
The fact that Bergdahl was in Afghanistan was a major screwup by our military. I think he was rejected by two branches of the military after psychological exams.
That info should have been transmitted across all branches. He was ruled twice a danger to himself and others. He has proven that.
Let him go. Make sure the VA follows him and make sure he has the meds and aftercare he needs.
in trying to guess what Obama will do, the best approach is to ask “what would a muslim with sympathy for the radicals do?” and there’s your likely answer. It works about 85% of the time.
Unfortunately, you are so right.
.... and it will only get worse!
Forgot Hillary
Obama has pardoned the Berd!!!
Maybe, maybe not.
They still hate each other. And Bill, who can get along with anyone, hates him even worse!
Be well
Let me catch my breath: Some bi guy, affirmative action black toker pardons a tranny. Shocker.
Under “forums” I always pick “everything”, so it doesn’t matter to me where things are posted...
Great idea, thanks for suggestion.
Most likely he will. Traitor boned with islam long enough to be one.
All Snowden as to do is get a sex change and he/she should be able to come back home!
Sure...No problem....
Mumia Abu-Jamal?
...
Please refresh my memory...did he murder a police officer?
You are right. He murdered, make that purposely executed a Philadelphia cop.
Amen...I have never paid the slightest bit of attention to the categories here at FR.
308 pardon
His name is BRADLEY!
I think a Hillary pardon is not out of the question. Obama may see damage to his legacy should something negative to him come out of any continued HRC investigation. He may be damned if he does or if he doesn’t. It should be a great boost to her legacy /chuckle.
He is taking Osama Bin Laden with him to Palm Springs. He’ll wave from AF 1 and smile and say: “We were just kidding”.
