Mr. President, you pardoned Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Dinesh DeSouza, but what about a young Army Lieutenant, Clint Lorance? He did what we sent him into combat to do, and is now serving 19 years in prison.
Bowe Bergdahl deserted, and caused the deaths of several soldiers, and he is walking free. Bradley Manning committed treason by divulging over 700K pieces of classified information — while in a combat zone — he walks free masquerading as a woman.

If you want to use Twitter, use it to announce the pardoning of US Army 1LT Clint Lorance, and ensure he gets all duly owed back pay for this gross injustice.
