Rumor has it Trump is planning on pardoning Julian Assange, founder of whistleblower website Wikileaks.
If I'm not mistaken, the above is a meaningless mouth noise. Assange has not been charged, much less convicted, of any offense under U.S. jurisdiction.
You may be right that he has not been charged, but when an officially undisclosed yet ultimately leaked Grand Jury https://www.theguardian.com/media/2011/may/11/us-opens-wikileaks-grand-jury-... The US government has opened a grand jury hearing into the passing of hundreds of thousands of state secrets to WikiLeaks – the start of the process of deciding whether to prosecute the website and its founder, Julian Assange, for espionage. began, behind closed doors, how can you be so sure he was never charged? (Again, you may be correct, but your certainty appears on the face of it to be unsupported.)
But the above is exactly what a DNC propaganda operative would say. Not only is it a meaningless mouth noise, it promotes a "null set" world view favorable to the Clinton & Co. Family Business.
I don't grok your logic. It sounds probably interesting though...
