27 Dec 2020 2005: US Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad, wearing a flak jacket and surrounded by bodyguards from the US security firm Blackwater, leaves the Civil and Military Operation Centre in Fallujah. File/Agence France-Presse Donald Trump has used his presidential powers to pardon cronies, crooks, liars and murderers rather than to right injustices, which was the purpose of the pardon.
