Exceptional Nation: Trump claimed he hated Iraq war, loved Wikileaks. Goes on to pardon Iraq war criminals and ignore Assange!

With hours to spare before Christmas, Donald Trump has delivered pardons to Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Charlie Kushner, a passel of war criminals and a bent congressman or two. There is no reason to believe our “law and order” president’s pardon binge is over. Too many people in his immediate orbit remain exposed to future prosecution, including the president himself.

Grauniad.

  1. I still think he'll pardon both Assange and Snowden before he leaves...

    1. Mine comes from abroad, but the shop "in stock" was in the UK, so I would suspect it's not at Gatwick... but quien sabe?
