Remember who helped him get elected as much as anyone in 2016 -- "I love Wikileaks..." So please correct me if I'm wrong, but if he doesn't pardon Julian Assange ( and Edward Snowden as well)-- along with all these others, then he has most likely lost my respect and support from here on out..
WASHINGTON—President Trump is expected to issue as many as 100 pardons and commutations on his final day in office, but is leaning against some of the more controversial grants of clemency at the urging of his advisers, according to people familiar with the discussions.
Mr. Trump discussed additional pardons and commutations with senior aides over the weekend, according to another person familiar with the conversations, and the subject has been a major focus in the White House in the months since the president lost the election. The White House has been inundated with requests, and Mr. Trump has called advisers to solicit suggestions.
