  4. Jonathan Pollard has been in prison for more than 10 years. Actually, he’s been in prison for 30 years. Time to commute his sentence.

  5. Lobama would pardon Pollard or Rubashkin if there was or were muslims or criminals he can set free for them or set a bargain for them that is the only way he will set them free.

  6. Rubashkin has filed his 2255 motion.Hopefully he will be resentensed to a lower amount of time.The previous president did not pardon Pollard either.
