Golsteyn, Lorance, Gallagher & Trump

Pres. Donald J. Trump
Will the president intervene? Military.com's Matthew Cox and Hope Hedge Seck have the story here.

Do you think President Abraham Lincoln's grants are clemency during the Civil War are a valid precedent?

There is a report of pushback from the Pentagon. Here. Excerpt:
"[Defense Secretary Mark] Esper on Wednesday would not say if he supports the exoneration of Gallagher, Golsteyn and Lorance, but that he had a 'robust discussion' with [President Donald J.] Trump the day before to offer 'the facts, the options [and] my advice' on the matter."
The Washington Post has this similar report.
