It would be illegal for Trump to do this as he would be trading something of value for information. This is espionage, sure it happens all the time, but not out in the open. This would be an impeachable offense

in his interview, Mr Rohrabacher suggested Mr Assange could be pardoned in exchange for information about the Democratic National Committee (DNC) email leak in 2016.

Thus if he comes up with that, you know he’s going to expect something in return.
“He can’t even leave the embassy to get out to Washington to talk to anybody if he doesn’t have a pardon.”

Trump should pardon him in return for testimony/debriefing (whatever)

The only way this happens is if Trump does not know that this is illegal, as it is

In other words you don't want him to be pardoned as he'll spill the goods on the DNC.

No I would love for that too happen, I am just pointing out that this would violate the espionage act and Trump could certainly be impeached over this. It is also clear that a lot of libs would help Trump do this, then vote to impeach

it's not "illegal" - POTUS has absolute pardon powers.
as to Impeachment the libs would impeach him for eating a ham sandwich if they could

I was going to say that you want Assange pardoned because you are a filthy traitor.

But then I remembered you're not even an American. Just a lousy, obnoxious limey.

Therefore, nobody gives a rat's ass about your goofball opinion anyway.

The Australian hacker faces sexual assault charges in Sweden

I thought they dropped those charges.

The pardon would not be illegal, just the trading of that power for information. He would be impeached.

I hope this gets to Trump before you assholes put an impeachable idea in his mind

Stick to fantasising about men's bums, you're good at that.

Not all of them, I believe some don't run out till 2020.

aah.. i see what you mean - a quid pro quo?
But i don't think the quid would be looked at as bribe.
Although as you say the Democrats are salivating to bring him down and they don't care how they do it.

Trumps pardon would be nearly meaningless anyway as would any pardon of Snowden, as both would quickly be executed by those who fear them...............
