What if the president on his last day in office grants a pardon to all the telcos invloved.
The telcos involved are seeking immunity because they are worried about their liability. There is no danger of a criminal complaint being brought against the traitors while the current thugs are in power.

Besides, you can't really pardon a corporation, just like you can't throw a corporation in jail.

The closest thing to that would be if an officer of the company were to be found guilty if criminal charges were ever pursued, and then the President could pardon the convict....but that's not likely to happen. The prosecution, that is....the pardon is a certainty I'd say if things ever got that far.

But again, the telcos aren't worried about criminal, just the checks they would have to write if customer started sing them for breach of privacy and a whole host of things.
