According to Grok: "Jonathan Pollard was granted clemency by President Bill Clinton. On January 20, 2001, during his final day in office, Clinton commuted Pollard's life sentence to time served, allowing his release from prison after serving 30 years. However, Pollard remained on parole with strict conditions until those restrictions were lifted by the U.S. Parole Commission on November 20, 2020, under the administration of President Donald Trump. So, while Clinton was the one who pardoned Pollard in terms of commuting his sentence, the full removal of parole conditions happened later under Trump’s presidency."

Grok hits me with that : Pollard was released from prison on November 20, 2015, during Barack Obama’s presidency. This wasn’t a pardon but a mandatory parole granted under U.S. sentencing laws. Pollard had been sentenced to life in 1987, but at that time, federal sentencing guidelines allowed for parole eligibility after 30 years for certain life sentences, provided good behavior and other conditions were met. 🤔

Interesting. I think all of that is compatible. What was your prompt? It was definitely Trump who ended the parole: https://consortiumnews.com/2024/11/09/the-chris-hedges-report-the-world-according-to-trump/ "Chris Hedges: Yeah. I mean, one of the things, just to talk about the Israel- relationship, is that \[Jonathan\] Pollard who gave Israel all sorts of intelligence information, he gave them information on C.I.A. and Russian assets, which allowed the Soviets to roll it all up but he gave it to Israel, and then Israel was giving it to the Soviet Union in exchange for the release of Jewish citizens of the Soviet Union. But it destroyed the, obliterated the intelligence operation of the U.S. in the Soviet Union. Lawrence Wilkerson: And Pollard is now, I’m told, I learned this 24 hours ago, Pollard is now instrumental in and very important to Bibi’s propaganda effort with regard to Gaza and Lebanon. A traitor, and we let him go, and Bill Clinton did almost as much damage as Trump in that regard with Pollard. Bill Clinton pardoned Marc Rich as his last ignominious act in office."
