Flynn Pardoned

[MeDotOrg]

The man who chanted "Lock her up!" at the GOP convention is himself pardoned.

President Donald Trump announced in a tweet Wednesday that he has granted his first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, a "full pardon," wiping away the guilty plea of the intelligence official, lobbyist and conservative fringe darling for lying to the FBI.

The pardon, coming as Trump enters his last days as President, bookends his four years in office and his supporters' revisionist take on the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Since January 2017, the Flynn case has been among the defining scandals and sagas of Trump's presidency and Attorney General William Barr's leadership of the Justice Department.
Flynn's criminal charge had hung over the Trump presidency and shaded nearly every major scandal Trump faced, because Flynn's lies to the FBI had occurred days into the new administration and were about his transition-time contacts with Russia, which opened the door for warmer relations with a country that had just meddled in the US presidential election.

The pardon also ends a three-year legal saga where, most recently, Flynn's charge hung in an appeals court in a fight over separation of powers, while the Justice Department was trying to drop the case. The trial-court judge overseeing the case had not taken action since the appeals fight, and was considering whether to dismiss the case or to sentence Flynn. The Justice Department has said Flynn never should have been investigated by the FBI and that his lies to them in January 2017 were immaterial, while Flynn recanted his admissions of guilt.

by the way, Flynn was represented by Sydney Powell.

Well. It’s not like this wasn’t going to happen.

The party of Law and Order my ass.

The message sent is loud and clear. Trump's partners in crime get pardoned for not ratting on him. If he were a black teen who lied to the FBI all we'd hear from Trumplandia is how justice needs to be served so people will learn to obey laws.

That doesn't apply to rich white American men like Roger Stone and Michael Flynn.

I'm surprised youtube actually allowed this cross examination to be posted. It starts to get good around 4:28

It amazes how well McCabe is able to lie throughout this cross examination not by answering falsely but simply not having to answer a yes no question one way or another. Is this how criminal cross examinations work as well? You really don't have to answer the questions if you don't want to. Congress's power to oversee and prosecute deep state corruption just doesn't exist. They don't have to even have to answer yes or no.

Why shouldn't an Army General become a foreign agent and be an advocate for a perceived enemy? I mean, do they take an oath or something? Shouldn't a large cash payment take precedence over everything else?

Getting a pardon from another foreign agent seems like a full circle kind of thing. Two-bit crooks one and all.

You're confusing General Flynn with the Bidens.

It doesn't apply to rich white establishment deep state Americans like McCabe, Comey,

Joe Biden has already contacted foreign agents. Has he violated the same Logan act he suggested be used to pursue a case against his political enemy General Flynn.

Joe Biden has already contacted foreign agents.

Yes, the Trump Administration has finally decided to cooperate with the incoming Biden team.

Yes, the Trump Administration has finally decided to cooperate with the incoming Biden team.

Ben Rhodes, Biden's advisor, already admitted to speaking with foreign leaders on November 10,2020. This is a violation of the same Logan act Biden suggested be used to continue the investigation into incoming cabinet member General Flynn. You can't continue an investigation upon a political opponent based on nothing more than hoping to trip them up in a lie. But that's exactly what the Obama Whitehouse did and this video shows McCabe lying his ass off about it.

Orderly transition of power? 2016 was anything but that. Who will not admit that we don't live in a two tiered justice system, one for your political friends, and a much harsher one for political opponents.

When you get Rhodes to lie to the FBI, then you can bring charges, and then Biden can pardon him.
