President Trump says he's considering a full pardon for Michael Flynn, the former National Security Adviser who was convicted of lying to the FBI about dealings with Russia.

, who pleaded guilty to charges of lying to the FBI about contacts with a Russia diplomat.

Trump has long suggested he is considering a pardon for Flynn as well as other aides ensnared in investigations of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. That group includes aides like Paul Manafort and Roger Stone., claims the FBI and other investigative agencies treated him and his aides unfairly.

Former federal prosecutor Barb McQuade, now a law professor at the University of Michigan, said that "Flynn admitted in open court that he lied to the FBI," and"that alone is a crime" that should not be undone with a presidential pardon.

I was taught that if it isn’t documented, it didn’t happen. With no records, there’s no proof that he did anything. The FBI doesn’t just lose things. Someone deliberately destroyed the records because they would have proved that there was no crime. Find that someone.

Just shows it pays to be a rich white felon. If your white with money the laws dont apply to you under the trump administration. The Republicans used to be the party of law and order. Under trump they are the party of criminals and child molesters.

But of course he is, we didn't expect any less of him. Basically all of his appointees are criminals just like him, they all think alike realDonaldTrump.

GOOD!!!!

GREAT!!!!

No!

A full pardon for such a liar?

Draining the swamp & filling up the sewer.....

Sayin is sayin. Considering is Considering.. and Doin is Doin! Even if this comes to fruition, the total pardons he’s granted in 3+years is under 50! Now, compare this to the reported 1,029 pardons Hussein Obama granted during his eight years of ☪️-loving, demo control! Bug diff!

This guy is non-stoppable crooked...gees 😔!

Because he has nothing more important to be worried about right now

Of course

He has been waiting for an excuse all along. We are not fooled.

He should fucking marry Flynn after the pardon.

~Gee whiz, the FBI told him he didn’t need a lawyer. And later the whole collusion fraud fell-through. So they frame him. Now, if he lied he lied about a lie, and two negatives make a positive, he actually told the truth. realDonaldTrump

The biggest crisis America has seen in years and POTUS45 is looking at pardoning criminals and Hilary Clinton’s emails

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT…

Mainly insansity

No shit.

Flynn pleaded guilty
