Yep. Not an admirable move. He did seem contrite about his decision to not pardon Assange but I could be reading into his body language in that interview. I'm not a big fan of Trump to be clear. That said I find him less reprehensible than creeps like Biden and Obama -- he's actually less of a liar, or a less accomplished liar, and therefore more human to me. And far less of a warmonger.
So you’re saying Trump refused to pardon Assange because Assange wouldn’t provide a quid pro quo? Sounds above right.

Trump pardoning Assange would have further angered the Uniparty. So what would Trump have gotten for it? Satisfaction?
