WikiLeaks Calls for Pardons From President Obama -- Or President Trump (wikileaks.org)
"President Obama has a political moment to pardon Manning & Snowden," WikiLeaks tweeted on Friday, adding "If not, he hands a Trump presidency the freedom to take his prize." And a new online petition is also calling for a pardon of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, saying Assange is "a hero and must be honoured as such," attracting over 10,000 supporters in just a few days. An anonymous reader writes:
Monday WikiLeaks also announced, "irrespective of the outcome of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, the real victor is the U.S. public which is better informed as a result of our work." Addressing complaints that they specifically targeted Hillary Clinton's campaign, the group said "To date, we have not received information on Donald Trump's campaign, or Jill Stein's campaign, or Gary Johnson's campaign or any of the other candidates that fulfills our stated editorial criteria." But they also objected to the way their supporters were portrayed during the U.S. election, arguing that Trump and others "were painted with a broad, red brush. The Clinton campaign, when they were not spreading obvious untruths, pointed to unnamed sources or to speculative and vague statements from the intelligence community to suggest a nefarious allegiance with Russia. The campaign was unable to invoke evidence about our publications -- because none exists."
Thursday a WikiLeaks representative expressed surprise that, despite the end of the U.S. election, Julian Assange's internet connection in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London has not yet been restored.

Obama: "A pardon? Oh, I thought you said 'drone'. My sincere apologies for this terrible terrible accident."

You got it backward: US presidents get a Nobel prize *before* doing anything worthy of a Nobel prize.

If the Left is so irrelevant, why is it you concoct absurd claims like this? Clearly you still feel you need to lash out by basically inventing nonsensical and frankly utterly retarded conspiracies about the current POTUS.
Either that or you are indeed just a simpering halfwit.

Yeah, the Alt-right is just so well behaved, as they run around spreading rumors about bus-loads of illegal Mexicans going to the polls.
Both sides have their share of malcontents, but because you're a partisan, you are incapable of seeing just how badly your side behaved.
