President Trump and Rudy Giuliani Sold Presidential Pardons for $2 Million
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. On his last day in office, Trump pardoned 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. Many of Trump's supporters were 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. 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. 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.
