How exactly does an Australian national wanted on rape charges in Sweden, living in the Ecuadorian embassy in Great Britain get a pardon from a US president?

Well, to be fair pardoning an American former Senator and failed presidential candidate who is wanted by Egypt for high crimes isn’t much less goofy.

The president can Pardon him but cannot stop prosecution by outside agencies.

Too many people don't even stop and think when they see a statement like this. It's the first thing I also thought. Presidential pardons are for those who have been convicted of a crime in the US. Ford's pardon of Nixon was unusual in that Nixon was never tried or convicted. But no one challenged it.

Well Trump can pardon him for all crimes under US law.
Which Assange will not want, because that takes away the little turd's justification for cowering in Ecuador as a fugitive from Swedish law.
