An impressive  array  of  former senior U.S. officials  with extensive first-hand knowledge of the Pollard case  have strongly protested  directly  to President Barack Obama , the “unjust denial of parole” for Jonathan Pollard, by Obama"s Justice Department parole board.

Signers included  R. James Woolsey, former director of the CIA; Dennis DeConcini, former chair of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee; David F. Durenburger, also a former chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee; Robert C. MacFarlane, former U.S. National Security Advisor; Lawrence J. Korb, former Assistant U.S. Secretary of Defense; Prof. Angelo Codevilla, a former Senate Intelligence Committee staffer; Lee Hamilton, former chair of the House Select Committee on Intelligence; and attorney Bernard W. Nussbaum, former White House counsel. I and many others active in defense and intelligence matters with knowledge of the  situation have already spoken out with very similar comments.

US officials appearing to oppose Pollards's release were quoted as stating that freeing Pollard would “constitute contempt for the severity of the offense and promote a lack of respect for the law.”

During this hearing the government  knowingly utilized and quoted from documents which they know to be false  which have been conclusively refuted by subsequent information and events. For example, certain  of the accusations contained in these documents were directly  placed there ( to provide cover-up for their own espionage operations) by individuals in the CIA and FBI who were later convicted of spying for the Soviet Union.

 The group's communication to president Obama blasted the parole process as “deeply flawed” and called the U.S. government’s contention that Pollard’s espionage “was the greatest compromise of U.S. security to that date” a “patently false claim.” That claim “is not supported by any evidence in the public record or the classified file [on Pollard],” the officials added.

 The groups informed evaluation agrees completely with my own observations based on my  participation in several espionage cases. Personally, I believe that the entire original  prosecution team should be disbarred for professional malpractice. If the presiding  judge was still alive I would recommend that he be impeached for his actions during the trial and for concealing his  extensive back channel communications with the prosecution team.

 The White House’s contemplations  about retaining Pollard as a bargaining chip to wrest additional  concessions from the Israeli government and other  White House efforts to prevent Pollard from being released also should be closely investigated by your staff to ensure that there was no White House and/or administration influence on what appears to be a very flawed , and possibly corrupt judicial process.
