Can't for the life of me think of why Bannon gets a pardon and Julian Assange doesn't.
What the fuck?

He could for what we have on him but would require him to flee UK. UK wont let that happen. A pardon would be meaningless to him
So the years of people begging for him to be pardoned were pointless the whole time? I've never heard anyone say this about it until today.
If he were on American soil, it would work.
Since he’s in the UK, they won’t release him, especially if he’s pardoned.
That’s because it’s bullshit?
I don’t know where you’re getting this idea from, but Assange is in no way required to flee the UK to accept a presidential pardon for US federal crimes. He would just need to convey that he would accept it through his lawyer, and then he would be immediately pardoned for all US federal crimes.
It’s true that Assange could still be held on any criminal charges he might have in the UK, but these pale in severity to those he faces in the US.
