At the end of President Donald Trump’s presidency in January of 2021, I reported how Trump not only did not keep his promise to “drain the swamp” when he became president in 2016, but that he proved that he was part of that very swamp based on who he pardoned in his last days in office.

The Presidency of billionaire businessman Donald Trump, the most pro-vaccine President in the history of the United States, came to an end today as he and Melania left Washington D.C. to head back to Florida.
President Trump continued to brag about how fast his administration issued authorization for the experimental mRNA COVID injections until the very end, mentioning it again as one of his administration’s biggest successes today in his farewell speech.
The Q cult following that has worshiped him for the past 4 years held up hope until the last minute that he was going to unleash hundreds of thousands of indictments and arrest the “deep state” traitors guilty of “treason,” preventing Joe Biden from becoming President, as well as hoping that he was going to pardon two whistleblowers who have risked their lives to reveal the workings of the deep state, Edward Snowden and Julian Assange.
President Donald Trump did neither.
In fact, he betrayed his supporters and did the exact opposite, by pardoning Israeli colonel Aviem Sella, the convicted handler of US-born Jewish-American intelligence analyst and traitor Jonathan Pollard, who stole US military secrets and sold them to Israel.
Jonathan Pollard was convicted for espionage in 1987, but President Obama pardoned him in 2015, and Pollard was placed on parole. President Trump released him from parole just recently, before the end of 2020, so he could return to Israel.
And then late last night he pardoned his handler, Aviem Sella. (Full article.)

In addition to not pardoning Edward Snowden and Julian Assange nor those arrested in the January 6th entrance to the U.S. Capitol, Trump pardoned several Big Pharma executives who had been convicted of medical fraud.

At the last minute, President Donald Trump granted pardons to several individuals convicted in huge Medicare swindles that prosecutors alleged often harmed or endangered elderly and infirm patients while fleecing taxpayers.
“These aren’t just technical financial crimes. These were major, major crimes,” said Louis Saccoccio, chief executive officer of the National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association, an advocacy group.
The list of some 200 Trump pardons or commutations, most issued as he vacated the White House this week, included at least seven doctors or health care entrepreneurs who ran discredited health care enterprises, from nursing homes to pain clinics.
One is a former doctor and California hospital owner embroiled in a massive workers’ compensation kickback scheme that prosecutors alleged prompted more than 14,000 dubious spinal surgeries.
Another was in prison after prosecutors accused him of ripping off more than $1 billion from Medicare and Medicaid through nursing homes and other senior care facilities, among the largest frauds in U.S. history.
“All of us are shaking our heads with these insurance fraud criminals just walking free,” said Matthew Smith, executive director of the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud.

And now we have reports that President Trump and his personal attorney and former mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani, in the true fashion of corrupt mafia criminal actions typical in NYC, offered Presidential pardons for the cost of $2 million dollars.

While the Trump supporters will undoubtedly be quick to point out that the one making this claim of Presidential pardons being for sale for $2 million is part of a lawsuit by a woman who was a former aide to Giuliani and is accusing him of sexual harassment, and is not a trustworthy source, The Independent today has published an investigative report that corroborates her claim with a former CIA officer, John Kiriakou, who has stated the same thing; that he was offered a Presidential pardon by Trump for $2 million.

In August, The New York Times reported that former CIA officer John Kiriakou broached the topic with Mr Giuliani during a meeting at the Washington DC hotel Mr Trump’s company ran between 2016 and 2022.
Mr Kiriakou, who in 2012 was sentenced to nearly three years in prison for disclosing classified information, told the Times that one of Mr Giuliani’s associates at the meeting said the ex-New York City mayor could assist him — for a price.
“It’s going to cost $2 million — he’s going to want two million bucks,” he recalled the Giuliani associate as saying.
He also told the Times that he did not pursue a pardon through Mr Giuliani because he could not afford to pay him $2 million.
“I laughed. Two million bucks — are you out of your mind?” Kiriakou told the outlet. “Even if I had two million bucks, I wouldn’t spend it to recover a $700,000 pension,” he said. (Full article.)
