There’s no pardoning Obama’s treason.

I don't think it's permissible to have a preemptive pardon.

You have to be convicted of a crime before you can request pardon

If he didn’t do anything wrong, why would he need a pardon?

Along side Bergdhal and other
Traitors to the Constitution.

obama won’t need to pardon him because he will only be found guilty of some minor infraction by a kangaroo court. Anything more than that would embarrass the king.

Yeah, he’ll be pardoned, or not even prosecuted.
That would embarass the big guy.

The President is going to issue a preemptive pardon to make sure the process never gets off the ground.

Must convict to pardon/commute. Obama just says general discharge, Bowe served his time.

1. Bergdahl will never be Court martialed for desertion. At this point, Obama has relieved every senior commander in the U.S. Army who dared to have an opinion other than his, and no officer who values his career would now dare to bring charges on Bergdahl.
2. Bergdalh will remain hospitalized until another “crisis” dominates the MSM news cycle, and then he will be declared 100% disabled due to PTSD as a result of his torture by the Taliban. Staff Sergeant Bergdahl will receive all his back pay and allowances (approx. $300,000), and due to his 100% PTSD disability, he will receive a Medical Retirement from the U.S. Army and live happily ever after on his tax free Staff Sergeant E-6 retirement pay.
3. And, of course, SSG Bergdahl will be awarded a Purple Heart for wounds he receivd during torture.

Will the rest of his unit get a “pardon”?
After all the NY Times says they are screw ups.
The White House says they are psychopaths.

One of many possible outcomes: Pre-selected Article 32 investigating officer to recommend to convening authority Field Grade Article 15, max allowable forfeiture of pay and allowances, reduction in grade from E-6 to E-5. Bar from re-enlistment. Honorable discharge.

Convening Authority goes with recommendation but suspends punishment until Bergdahl is processed out with an Honorable Discharge. Bergdahl essentially walks away unpunished.

Obammy gets full circle mission accomplished in freeing GITMO boys. Bergdahl fades away from the news cycle as Obammy moves to close GITMO down. The Army shows that it acted on Bergdahl's desertion and moves on...everyone washes their hands. Bergdahl later quietly and mysteriously dies of self inflicted injuries attributed to PTSD. Obammy sends condolences to Daddy and Mommy, brings them back for a WH photo op Bergdahl celebration of life ceremony and another chance for Obammy to get in some cheap feels. Daddy regrows his beard and swears lifelong jihad in honor of his dead son. Al Qaeda and the Taliban rejoice at their good fortune.

Not sure the President has that authority. How do you pardon someone for something they did not do? If you don’t investigate, make a case and convict then it never occurred.
Now if Bergdahl is convicted Obama will likely pardon him when he leaves office. But I do not see it happening before.

Parents: never give your child a cutesie name with an alternate spelling. It may turn them into a self-defending narcissist to put up with all the bullying in school; then the minute they are old enough they will do something really stupid, and then you will have to learn Pashto in order to communicate with them.
