Because Pollard is one guy whereas Russia tries to undermine our elections, do the proxy war stuff, annoyed us during the Cold War(never forget š¤), etc., and China literally sends dozens and dozens of Chinese military officers to the US to enroll as āstudentsā so they can steal textbooks and term papers or whatever.
Israel accidentally sank one of our ships and neo nazis bring that up as if nazis really cared about anything other than methamphetamines in the first place.
Of course, as with any geopolitical situation, it is a lot more complicated than one administration or department.
But. Then again, the "US government" has shown a history of not properly dealing with traitors in recent decades. Such as Snowden, Manning, Assange, or Stone.
Or Trump. We'll see how history plays that one out.
For those who don't remember, or know little about the backstory:
The agent in charge of counterintelligence for the Naval Investigative Service who caught Pollard has said that he was involved in illegal activities to help countries besides Israel. Ron Olive wrote that Pollard confessed that before he spied for Israel, he passed classified information to South Africa, his civilian financial advisers and a member of the Australian Royal Navy. He also admitted passing documents to Pakistan āin the hopes it would take him on as a spy.ā Olive quotes Pollard during a debriefing after he pleaded guilty saying, āIf I could see it, and touch it, you can assume I got it.... My only limitation was what I couldnāt carry.ā Olive said Pollard stole 360 cubic feet of classified secrets and confessed to stealing classified information two to three times a day, three to four days a week.
I remember in 2011/2012 my temple officially joined some advocacy thing to request his release. It was the first I'd ever heard of him and I seriously couldn't believe that they would do something that so obviously outs us as fifth columns.

Why does the US lunge at spectres of Russian or Chinese influence when Israel so clearly influences the US.

If the Obama administration had had any balls, they'd have kept that fucker locked in NC where he was.
