Serious methods and sources-- things that enabled Snowden to feel "moral" about releasing for the good of..... themselves. Pollard and his freaking wife were in this up to their foreheads. Pollard is in the same place as the Walkers-- who are now mercifully freaking dead. Pollard should NOT be released. So-- how does this help obamaumao- and more precisely how and why is this something Netanyahu can get. What part does the blackmail of the Iran deal, coax out of Netanyahu a "hold harmless" arrangement, even as he wails about the end of Israel by the deal. Seriously- this stinks to high heaven. Also, Pollard is calculated to receive $3.6 million from Israel as BACK PAY? Pollard should not be released to Israel (see fat boy Jerrold Nadler-the a@@hole congressman of the criminal mob).
Pollard has been portrayed in some corners of the media as merely trying to help an ally (Israel) that faced an existential threat. The truth is that Pollard shopped classified information to at least three other countries, as well, two of them hardly considered then or now to be reliable allies. He was a mercenary, whose primary motivation was financial.
He’s lucky.
Treason used to be a capital offense.

Pollard is being paroled after 30 years because he was sentenced to life in prison but with mandatory parole in 30 years. He can only be held longer if the government can prove misconduct or the probability that he'll reoffend. The government knew the day he was sentenced he'd be released November 20, 2015, as did anyone actually paying attention to the case.
Boo f***in' hoo.
