U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the former prisoner of war who's accused of endangering comrades by walking off his post in Afghanistan, is asking President Barack Obama to pardon him before leaving office.

Negative! As was mentioned in this thread, Pres. Nixon was a prime example of how this system works! The Laws are never any better than the Law makers! You've heard of the "Texas Two-Step?" Well, this is the "Washington Two-Step!" All the best! - TOP

All are "equal" under the law. It's just that some are more equal than others. I say skip the pardon and let justice take its course. If he is found innocent by Court Martial, than he will go free, if found guilty he will pay.

Can you even be pardoned if you haven't been convicted or sentenced yet?

Unfortunately yes. President can issue a blanket pardon like he is likely to do for Hillary Clinton. If he does not issue a pardon for her then Trump is likely to bring her up on charges once in office.

He was promoted while being AWOL ( I don't know if he had the Desertion status at that time or not ). I believe he intitially enlisted in the Coast Guard and was released 30 days into basic, for Psychological issues.

I think the president should pardon Bergdahl, Snowden, and Manning. He should give them all a mulligan. They should only be jailed after they do the same thing again after he pardons them.

Absolutely not. But with that said, President Obama has showen his loyalties lie with Muslims more than the American Soldier. With respects to those who were KIA and wounded while serching for Sgt Bergdahl. I could see President Obama issuing a pardon for compassionate reasons. Still wrong, people were killed looking for him. That should have consequences, sense he just walked off.
