Robert Philip Hanssen spied for the Commies for five or more years and provided them with tip-top secret information. He got a pass on the death penalty in return for cooperating with authorities, but even so was sentenced to 15 life terms with no possibility of parole. Can’t the President do something for Bob?

Trump has shown repeatedly the depth of his compassion. He got the murderous Seal off the hook for murder, he stands ready to pardon any of his flunkies who is convicted, and only today we read that he will grant clemency to Eddie Debartolo, a football criminal from a prominent familly.

Look here. Bob Hanssen gave up spying in 1991, that’s almost twenty years ago. He was a devout member of Opus Dei and sent his kids to Opus dei schools. He urged his pals in the FBI to attend Mass.

Obviously his ten-year career in espionage was a case of temporary insanity, a factor that was surely not taken into account at the time of his lynch-mob sentencing. The President of the United States could easily shave off a few life terms for Bob, or, though he would face criticisms from the pinko press, he could grant Bob a pardon, and return him to his loving family and to a nation that is always prepared to forget.
