president is considering pardons from military individuals. he says these cases should be decided by the court for the entirety of the evidence can be viewed after that should a pardon be considered. what is your take? i am sympathetic to avery young soldier, airmen and marines was been put in a very difficult decision that has had to make life or death calls. i am also sympathetic to the command containing good order and discipline. it is hard to generalize anyone to know particular facts in every case. i think it is appropriate for the president to let the justice system play out in the decide whether mercy is called for fon individual case is given the facts of the circumstances. shannon: the book is called sacred duty. thank you for making time. thank you and thanks for your interests. shannon: the hits keep on coming for michael avenatti.
