President Trump says he will take a 'very good look' at possibly pardoning Edward Snowden and bringing him back to America

President Trump said on Monday that he plans to pardon someone “very, very important” on Tuesday, but would not go into details about who it is.

Speaking to reporters on Air Force One while on his way back to Washington from a tour of battleground states in the Midwest, Trump dropped the news about the upcoming pardon – saying only that it would not be former NSA staffer Edward Snowden or Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Trump over the weekend hinted that he was considering pardoning Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who has been living in Russia since he leaked information on vast domestic and international surveillance operations carried out by the NSA.

The Washington, D.C., Circuit Court of Appeals recently told parties to be ready to answer questions about the effect of federal statutes on judicial impartiality in a brief order in connection to the legal dispute over the Justice Department's move to drop charges against Flynn.

The order, which indicated that one court may be planning to question the impartiality of a judge on another court, is the latest twist in the years-long legal saga.

After Flynn had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI -- then later sought to withdraw that plea -- the DOJ in an unusual move sought to drop the charges, citing alleged misconduct by investigators and a lack of evidence. Then, in his own unusual move, District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan, who is the trial-level judge on the Flynn case, refused to immediately grant the motion to drop charges. He appointed an

While pardons generally come at the end of a president’s term, Trump has used them – along with commutations of sentences – throughout his time in the White House.

Trump has pardoned Bernard Kerik, once New York City's police commissioner, who served three years in prison for tax fraud and for making false statements after lying to the George W. Bush White House while being interviewed to serve as Homeland Security secretary.

More recently, the president commuted the sentence for Rod Blagojevich, the former Illinois governor, who spent more than eight years in prison for his failed attempt to sell the U.S. Senate seat that was made vacant after Barack Obama's 2008 election sent him to the White House.

I also saw this last week which caught my eye. I thought.. now how could he possibly come testify if he is a wanted man here?

Julian Assange ordered to testify in Seth Rich case
Fox News fighting family's claim of peddling conspiracy theory

Imprisoned Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been ordered to testify in a lawsuit concerning the unresolved murder of Democratic National Committee employee Seth Rich.

The case was brought by Rich's family against Fox News for publishing a now-retracted May 2017 report citing allegations that Rich was murdered as part of a plot to conceal the leak of DNC emails to WikiLeaks.


Fox News invoked the Hague Convention in its request for Assange's testimony, according to court documents. Assange, said to be in poor health, is incarcerated in a top-security British prison. He is fighting a U.S. effort to extradite him from Britain on charges filed under the Espionage Act.

The order was signed by a U.S. judge on Wednesday, with Fox News agreeing to bear costs, reported CD Media.

The Rich family charges that Fox News' promotion of what it deems a groundless conspiracy caused them serious distress.

Fox News has said that while "we extend the Rich family our deepest condolences for their loss, we believe that discovery will demonstrate that FOX News did not engage in conduct that will support the Riches' claims."

Police in Washington, D.C., have concluded Rich's death in July 2016 was the result of a botched robbery. Critics of the finding argue he was shot in the back and his wallet and other valuables were not taken.

While the conventional belief is that Russia was behind the leak, Assange has denied the claim.

Ed Butowsky, a high-profile author and financial adviser, is involved in several lawsuits claiming it was Rich, not Russian hackers, who purloined the emails.

He has cited some of Assange's public statements to make his case.

Butowsky's lawyer, Ty Clevenger, has noted that veteran news reporter Ellen Ratner said at a symposium at Embry Riddle University the day after the 2016 election that on the previous Saturday she had spent three hours with Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.

More than an hour into the conversation, she said, Assange disclosed that "the leaks were not from, they were not from the Russians," referring to the DNC emails.

"They were an internal source from the Hillary campaign."

Butowsky claimed Ratner told him that Assange disclosed to her that Seth Rich and his brother, Aaron, "were responsible for releasing the DNC emails to Wikileaks."

Rich, 27, was shot and killed as he walked home in the early morning hours of July 10, 2016.

Assange told Dutch TV after the shooting: "Whistleblowers go to significant efforts to get us material and often very significant risks. There's a 27-year-old, works for the DNC, was shot in the back, murdered just a few weeks ago for unknown reasons as he was walking down the street in Washington."

 

Susan B Anthony. They gave her a coin already.

 

That wet job on Seth Rich really bothered me. OK, so he was a socialist -- hey, he was still wet behind the ears, he simply hadn't grown up yet, he'd not learned human nature. When at university, I had some socialist leanings myself, but I matured into a man. Seth was slaughtered for talking about what he knew. Granted, he should have known better, everyone knew/knows that the Clintons were/are the Borgias, half dozen Arkansas state law enforcement who protected the Clintons ended up dead, at least two of them were suicided. Not any conspiracy, everyone knew, Seth knew; he should have gotten out'a there long before.

In another article attempting to clean Seth's assassination, they had to admit that he was shot in the back, yet nothing was stolen from him.

"According to police, he died from two shots to the back and may have been killed in an attempted robbery. Residents noted the neighborhood had been plagued by robberies. Rich's mother told NBC's Washington affiliate WRC-TV , 'There had been a struggle. His hands were bruised, his knees are bruised, his face is bruised, and yet he had two shots to his back, and yet they never took anything ... They didn't finish robbing him, they just took his life.'" There was no robbery, this was a hit.

Knowing too much anywhere near centralized government is a repeat of ancient Rome. "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." There are no exceptions.
