Even assuming a Dem in 2020, by the time they'd get to her pardon, she'd already likely have served most of it. That doesn't mean restoring some voter rights would not be useful, but in reality, given circumstances, there's not much more to hope for her.

We all know why.

But like others said, she will be nearly done.

Joe Arpaio walking free while she waits is terrible imo.

Manning was not a "whistle blower" but released over a half a million documents, most of which she never read, including documents related to diplomatic negotiations that were intended to reduce conflict.

There are laws to protect "whistle blowers" who take action against a specific government action.

I guess Reality Winner has more right to expect to be protected.

Then hell yes.
