Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday during a send-off event at Joint Base Andrews that he wishes success for the new administration and will “be back in some form.” Photo: Manuel Balce Ceneta/APIn one of his last acts as president, Donald Trump issuedAnthony Levandowskiin March 2020 to theft and attempted theft of trade secrets from Google’s self-driving program “with the intent to use it to benefit someone other than Google,” according to a legal filing at the time.

Mr. Levandowski left Google’s self-driving unit, Waymo, in 2016 and helped start a company soon acquired by Uber Technologies Inc. Google parent Alphabet Inc. sued Uber in 2017, claiming that Mr. Levandowski stole thousands of confidential files before leaving Google. Waymo and Uber settled the lawsuit in 2018, but a judge in the case asked federal prosecutors to investigate Uber and Mr. Levandowski over possible trade-secret theft.

The pardon was supported by venture capitalist Peter Thiel and entrepreneur Palmer Luckey, who founded Oculus VR, according to the White House.

Because he was just straight up selling pardons. There isn't any mystery here.

scooby doo villians.

You go to jail if you are POC for lifting a backpack for 3 yrs without trial so old adage white makes right and the bigger that right to help yourself the more certain you are to have Repubs cheer and pardon you, hire you, play golf with you.

And? What's the point of this story? I'm not a political fan girl. I'm a Historical Preservation Commissioner. The youngest surviver of Schindler's List was my professor. All I have to say is that your reporting tactics are exactly like TheWeimarRepublic.

This is some shady shit ... that former Google engineer - did Trump and team get dibs into Uber's IPO to bank profits? What's the reasoning here?

Reconciliation is the road to take..Not propaganda.

I'm sure there is alil more to why at least half of these usually white old rich men got these pardons/ clemency gifts!

Crazily corrupt.

Do you think this is what people really need right now?

That was Jared’s input!

I disagree with presidencials pardons...

He's stacking up favors...because he's going to need them.

Something something swamp or whatever

Only those in a position to come up with the cash.

I'm sure they paid handsomely for the pardons

These faces scream insider trading.
