peace prize laureates 5 former presidents from across the world and filmmakers such as director oliver stone the u.s. prosecution of a songes unprecedented he faces 175 years in prison for the same publications for which he's been nominated for the nobel peace price this prosecution threatens the constitutional protections that americans hold dear by offering a pardon to put a stop to the prosecution of a song which your presidency will be remembered for having saved 1st amendment protections for all americans we spoke earlier with one of the signatories of that letter political commentator and constitutional attorney robert bonds he believes the odds were always stacked against the sides. he considered it up to the very last minute shows ultimately not to do it will be ongoing debate as to why but it's important to remember it was the trump justice department that indicted his sons' the trump state department that sought to extradite him trump vice president mike pence who extorted and bribe ecuador into giving up julian assange so there was a big huge hurdle to even get into the room to di
