With less than 12 hours before the end of his presidency, Donald Trump issued 143 pardons and commutations, including a pardon for Steve Bannon, his former chief strategist and campaign manager. Trump, who has pardoned other associates and allies during his single term, has so far rejected calls to pardon prominent whistleblowers including WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and NSA whistleblowers Edward Snowden and Reality Winner. Details continue to emerge about how allies of Trump have personally profited from people seeking pardons. We speak with John Kiriakou, a former CIA analyst and case officer who exposed the Bush-era torture program and was the only official jailed in connection to it, about the pardon system. He says an associate of Trump personal attorney Rudy Giuliani offered him a pardon for $2 million, which Kiriakou declined to pay. “They don’t see this as a bribe,” says Kiriakou. “This is the way Washington works.”

      One word…patriot. Above all else, the president must be a patriot, in the word’s true definition. Those that despise whistleblowers are never patriots.

      @Projectheureka In a Democracy,” The peoples Government”, they or their representatives write the rules for business and that’s called “Free Enterprise”!! With Capitalism the Banks and the Corporations eventually with the power of MONEY corruptly buy the politicians and judges and eventually THEY write the rules for business, and that’s called Fascism or Other synonyms like Conservatism and they are murderers of DEMOCRACY and FREEDOM!!!

    The wealthy and powerful are always allowed to find a way to keep themselves out of jail. This pardoning system should only pertain to people not associated with any crimes to do with the government or personal involvement.

    Can’t the pardon than be nullified ?

      Need a constitutional amendment forbidding pardons after Election Day, for Presidential family, anyone who held an appointed position for the President granting the Pardon, only for those who have been convicted AND EXHAUSTED appeals, and evidence of political consideration in granting such reviewable by a Federal Judicial Commission

    Surely, the ‘privileges’ of a President really need reviewing. If pardons can be handed out like sweets to possible co-conspirators or possible ‘bought’ – that surely can’t be right?
