U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the former prisoner of war who’s accused of endangering comrades by walking off his post in Afghanistan, is asking President Barack Obama to pardon him before leaving office.
White House and Justice Department officials on Saturday said Bergdahl had submitted copies of the clemency request seeking leniency.
If granted by Obama, it would allow Bergdahl to avert a court-martial trial scheduled for April where he faces charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy, the latter of which carries a maximum penalty of life in prison. …

Can someone who has a court date set for his trial be pardoned by the Muzzident?
His cowardice and eagerness to aid and abet the enemy cost several far better men their lives when they went out to find this worthless garbage. He should be sent to Guantanimo to hang out with his Muzzlime buddies.
How is Hussein not guilty too?
Yes, it is !
OTOH, I doubt that wee barry will pardon him....he has less than NOTHING to gain from doing so.

Some of Obama’s pardons may have more to do with covering up his own guilt as much as it does with pardoning other people. For example, an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal would expose Obama as knowingly and willfully abetting her actions.
I think it is one of the ten most comical actions of the administration. To this day...none of the news networks have ever sat down and looked at the deal made. The folks who held Bergdahl....had ZERO interest in any of the Gitmo people. They just wanted cash. The US could not pay cash, otherwise it would have destroyed their reputation. So they went to a middle country and arranged a deal where these Gitmo guys are part of a deal. In the end, I suspect the middle country ended up with a weapons package delivery from the US, and then the middle country handed cash to Bergdahl’s thugs.
Trump has already called for this douchebag to be shot for desertion, and rightly so.
So old bluelips has a decision to make.
Plan A-Pardon the freak and avoid the spotlight on his own TREASONOUS trade for 5 TERRORISTS tarnishing his legacy even more in a few months.
Plan B-Do nothing, and depend on the ENEMEDIA to bury the story.
Since he is WEAK, he will go with Plan B.
And Bergdahl and his supporters are going to be made an example of.
Just as Wikileaks exposed that.
And Trump will tweet to unbury the story
PEOPLE (sons of American families) DIED on missions trying to find this traitorous POS. He should be tried, found guilty and summarily executed (not necessarily in that order).
....all he has to do is covert to muzziness...and it’s in the bag. Odungo would do it for Christmas.
He could get a two-fer....poke Christians and the
Military in the eye.
Now this is a legacy he can depend on
Traitorous coward, Bergdahl also.
Must want a pardon before Mad Dog gets in. Love to see 12 Marines sitting on that jury.
Rest assured, you won't be hearing from your hero. He betrayed you just like terrorists and those that side with them always do.you made a bad choice now live with it.
Don’t double down on stupid Obama.
