Says former President Barack Obama "pardoned a traitor who gave U.S.
enemies state secrets, he also pardoned a terrorist who killed Americans."

Mostly False

Did Obama pardon a terrorist and a traitor, as Katie Pavlich said?

Pavlich did not respond to our requests for clarification or comment, although she was likely referring
to Chelsea Manning and Oscar Lopez Rivera respectively, who Trump referenced in an Aug. 28, 2017, press conference.

Neither of these individuals, however, were pardoned by the former president. As Trump said in
the conference, Manning and Lopez Rivera were granted commutations, or shortened sentences.

Why is it that trolls who more than any others should fact check the dribble they jump to dump are the ones most less likely
to check? Ans: Because they are idiot trolls who don't give a damn about the truth-bullshit ratio of the content of their posts.
