The president ... should give Bibi the pardon today. I don't want anything on Bibi's mind other than fighting against Iran. Tell him I am exposing him. That president better damn well give him the pardon right now - and stop using it as leverage for his own political career.
Presidential pardons are in fashion in the United States, even for people who haven't yet been found guilty of a crime. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a well-known Americanophile. Now he, too, wants a preconviction pardon, a never-go-to-jail card. On Sunday, his lawyers submitted his request, stressing that freeing Netanyahu from his marathon corruption trial would be purely for the public good.
