What crime did Assange commit for which he can be pardoned by a US president?

President Trump knows nothing about the deal with Asange? Impossible. Surely President Trump surfs the Internet, knows how to use Google, etc.

I simply do not believe President Trump lives in such a bubble.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I didn’t think the President could pardon a non-US citizen. Assange is Austrailian. The AG could give him full immunity however.

Dana is playing with fire.
We all know that the Deep State colluded to make Hillary President and is colluding to block Trump, but you can’t say it.
Don’t walk alone at night.

This possibility (of a “deal”) is interesting, but also incredibly dangerous. Assange may or may not be able to provide utterly conclusive information. Does he really have perfectly reliable evidence of the source? Or could it be argued that he (and then President Trump) were played by disinformation???

I’m not saying I give credence to the “Russia, Russia” b.s that’s been spewed by the Democraps and MSM, but unless Assange can provide utterly conclusive evidence leading back to the original source, there could be one or more intermediaries to screw up the picture. It IS possibly, surely, that Assange has been played and/or that he would try to play the USA, in order to gain his freedom and possibly also just to stick it to the USA.

The worst thing would be for President Trump to grant a pardon for less than conclusive evidence, because then it would become part of the “obstruction of justice” chant of the Democraps, et al.

Trump never made it a secret that he has zero respect for Assange. Just because Assange published stuff helpful to Trump's election doesn't mean Trump has changed his opinion of the guy.

Assange is a self-absorbed opportunist, nothing more. Trump really doesn't like or trust the guy.

Rohrabacher is my Congressman. I’ve e-mailed him a few times about him being able to get a meeting with the President regarding the Assange information.

Yesterday, I just sent him a version of the below clip & told him that it appears the President does not know anything about the Assange information.

It is difficult to hear, but at about the :15 mark the question is asked.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Kelly told Rohrabacher to bring the information to the intelligence community.

Which is about the last thing he should do, and further proof that Kelly isn't trustworthy. As for Assange, he'll have to give up some worthwhile info before anyone agrees to pardon him.
