It's absolutely insane that Trump has pardoned Blackwater contractors convicted of murder, but not Julian Assange who has never killed anyone. Seems strange, since if anything, wikileaks revelations may have helped Trump back in 2016, with the dump of Clinton emails and such.
Is it really absurd though. The mainstream media is the ones who convicted these men. We never really got to hear there side of things. So I question that, Assange dumped all the emails and nothing happened. He can't be pardoned because he has never been convicted of anything. He has to be found guilty. Then he can receive a pardon.
It wouldn't matter though. The truth is out their for everyone to see. Just many refuse to see it. Same as biden. The truth is on front of our eyes, but many wear blinders.
Good point, it makes sense that only actual convictions can be pardoned. It's not a great situation, as it effectively curtails free journalism, and unlike every other news organisation, Wikileaks has yet to be found guilty of publishing anything false. People may not like it, but it happened, and it's true.
