Recent headlines in Israel have suggested that Obama administration is reportedly considering freeing convicted spy in bid to keep negotiations, prisoners release afloat.
The United States on Wednesday downplayed recent speculation that it could free convicted spy Jonathan Pollard in return for Israel agreeing to release a fourth and final batch of Palestinian prisoners.
“There are no plans to release Jonathan Pollard at the moment,” said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki on Wednesday. “Jonathan Pollard was convicted of espionage against the United States – a very serious crime. He was sentenced to life and is currently serving his sentence.”

“Jonathan Pollard was convicted of espionage against the United States – a very serious crime.”
And the arabs in prison did worse by killing innocent people……how many people did Pollard kill ?!?

What is the significance of November21, 2015?
That’s the date he is scheduled to be released/paroled.
All he has to do is acknowledge his guilt. He has never done so, and he doesn’t want clemency, he wants a pardon.
