U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted Sunday that he is 'strongly considering' a full pardon for former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

, Trump claimed that "the FBI, working in conjunction with the Justice Department, has 'lost' the records of General Michael Flynn."

The president appeared to be referencing a claim made by Flynn's lawyers back in September that there was an internal Department of Justice memo that cleared Flynn of being a Russian agent -- a memo that the prosecution could not produce. A government lawyer on the Flynn case said those claims are irrelevant, noting they did not accuse Flynn of being a Russian agent. It was not immediately clear Sunday why Trump was referencing the exchange.

Flynn, who is a retired army lieutenant general who served as Trump's first national security adviser and resigned a month into the new administration, is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty in 2017 to charges that he lied to the FBI about a conversation he had with the then-ambassador to Russia. The aftermath of the conversation, including Trump's encouragement of then-FBI director James Comey to go easy on Flynn, led to the eventual appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller.

more shitfuckery from the shitfunnel in charge.

Plead guilty... gets pardoned... I feel sorry for Americans, rough 4 yrs

Good

Nothing like sliding a pardon during a health crisis.

Why even cover his man-baby tangents and tantrums? No 👏 one 👏 cares 👏

Not a surprise. There are no consequences for selling out America, not with this president. Sad. Lock Trump up.

We have a deadly virus originated in China that’s killing our people right this moment. Put anti-US propaganda aside, just for a moment please.

That’s what’s on his mind right now?

Of course the idiot is.

Too bad that Al Capone died.

And we would expect nothing less from a man with no morals.

Good

Do it. Do it. Do it.

Doesn't matter with known persons: 'presidential pardon will restore various rights lost as a result of the pardoned offense & should lessen to some extent the stigma arising from a conviction, it will NOT ERASE OR EXPUNGE THE RECORD OF THE CONVICTION.

General Flynn shouldn't require a pardon. If his guilty plea is successfully withdrawn, any cases against him should be dismissed, and then he should sue, into oblivion, the traitors who framed him.

There are differing 'justices' in the USA. One for whites, one for non-white and another for the wealthy. Ain't America Great !!!

Oh my Goodness, What will the Canadians do now ?

that's a big shock.....said no one ever

Republicans have such little regard for the rule of law it's unbelievable.

WTF?

🤦🏼‍♀️

corruption

Not only PARDON, AWARD Flynn the Congressional Medal of Honor, Full Reinstatement, a complete contingent of military intelligence and Presidential Orders to 'carry on'...SMIB!

Get this clown out of the White House.

Good

Crisis, what crisis. No surprise, Trump is more concerned with self and buddies.

Pardon stone!!!
