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 worshipped 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.

President Trump on his last day in office 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.
From Haaretz, “Trump Pardons Israeli Colonel Who Helped Recruit Spy Jonathan Pollard”:
Among the raft of last-minute pardons issued on Wednesday by outgoing U.S. President Donald Trump was one for an Israeli citizen: Col. (res.) Aviem Sella, an Israel Air Force pilot and officer who was convicted of introducing Jewish-American spy Jonathan Pollard to his Israeli recruiter, former Mossad agent Rafi Eitan, in the early 1980s.
A statement by the White House about the pardons issued late on Wednesday noted that “Mr. Sella’s request for clemency is supported by the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer, the United States Ambassador to Israel David Friedman,” as well as by Miriam Adelson, the widow of Sheldon Adelson, the casino magnate who died last week and was one of Trump’s most important donors.
Sella had been indicted by a federal grand jury in 1987, but was never extradited by Israel.
Sella’s indictment carried a maximum sentence of life in prison and a $500,000 fine.
Pollard was pardoned by Obama in 2015 and quietly released from parole by the Trump administration in late 2020 so he could “make aliyah” in Israel.
Pollard was flown out of America on Sheldon Adelson’s private plane and given a hero’s welcome by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu upon landing in Israel.
While the US Congress was busy passing a bill to give Israel an additional $38 billion in foreign aid, Israel announced they would be paying Pollard “a pension or stipend like ex-Mossad and Shin Bet agents.”
U.S. Ambassador Richard Jones said in 2007 during a conference on US-Israel relations at Bar Ilan University that Pollard was a traitor who “committed treason against his own country” and “took money for what he did.”
“He sold out his country,” Jones said. “The fact that he wasn’t executed is the mercy that Jonathan Pollard will receive.”
Top former FBI lawyer and U.S. counterintelligence official M.E. “Spike” Bowman told the National Press Club in 2014 that Pollard was one of the most damaging espionage agents in American history.
“By his own admission, he said I gave [Israel] enough information to occupy a space that would be 6 feet by 6 feet by 10 feet,” Bowman said.
Bowman said one of the documents Pollard handed over was a “RAISIN manual” which at the time “described all of the communications capabilities of the Middle East and how the NSA could attack them.” (Full article here.)
