Just wondering, when is Trump going to forgive himself?

FUNNY HOW YOU COULDN'T WAIT TO POST THIS!! 🤨

Michael Flynn is a Trader. He has committed treason. He should have been in prison for the rest of his life. He is a criminal he should have stayed in jail. Where he and Trump and his family should be right now

Everyone knew this was gonna happen, 45 better be writing pardons for himself. They both will probably join Putin against America. Americans get ready you know how 45 acts when he is butt hurt. He seeks revenge of all, no matter who he hurts.

Sex partners

Well done. 👊🇧🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸👊 TRUMP2020ToSaveAmerica

A judge should just place Flynn in double jeopardy and Biden can pardon the judge.

The same one that admitted under oath that he lied? I see. GenFlynn

You know what this is leading up to folks! A pardon for Donnie himself. Watch this space.

A criminal pardoning a criminal.

Criminals stick with criminals

Yes perhaps, but wasn’t he blackmailed into pleasing guilty? That’s not right. Drain the swamp.

He may be pardoned but he’s still GUILTY

Not surprised, are you?

Pardon doesn’t mean he’s not guilty.

Evil begets evil

add Traitor to the list of words that describe Trump .

When does he pardon Ghislaine Maxwell? That will be very telling about what really occurred on those flights

Why not report on what the lie was?

Trump have to pardoned them because his gone loose president immunity and they going to start talking out of jail..

Too bad he can’t pardon himself

🤬

FBI lied to US. Get the facts straight

How can anyone deny how corrupt Trump is? Seriously! 🤦‍♂️

Hahaha Cry about it snowflakes!

And here it starts...

Wow...

To deter our next would-be dictator, Biden DOJ should HoldTrumpAccountable for conspiracy to interfere with election & sedition. Video describes the fascism we so narrowly dodged. Trump & ReThuglican enablers should be made examples of to counter it!

Figure this was going to happen

Happy Thanksgiving to General Flynn's family, what a wonderful gift for the holidays. Thank you Mr President ReinstateGeneralFlynn

Traitor . 😠

That was expected, his family is next. He’s going out like a bitch!

Two turkey’s pardoned this week

Who is going to give Donald Trump a pardon Once Donald Trump is arrested in 2021 Not Joe

realDonaldTrump pardon Assange and Snowden.

So Trump is admitting the Russians helped his campaign. Is that treason?

Trump voice is probably talking to him and telling him, that he has to live life on his own term now. No more power that the Republicans allowed him to have. Now he's trying to makeup for all his wrong doing to the peoples who was there for him, but he turned his back on them.

Flynn held a position to secure and protect America and was found guilty of lying and now pardoned. This is insane.

Roger stone demands to plea guilty

About time.

IS ANYONE SURPRISED, THAT A CRIMINAL PARDONED ANOTHER CRIMINAL 🤔 😳

If that makes you mad wait until you see this.

Good pardon all that were railroaded by a crooked/corrupt system !

He will pardon ritenhouse next

For a country that prides itself that “no one is above the law” this whole business of presidential pardons makes zero sense. It shows the extent of the hypocrisy of the political system. Red or Blue.

Next, he's going to pardon himself

Fully justified pardon.

Just another line item on the long list 📝 of Trump’s terrible decisions. PresidentElectJoeBiden

A true warrior!

pardon by tweet... is that a legal thing?

Every president Pardon his Corrupt officials, what makes this country differs from totalitarian regimes, Nothing, Two set of Laws one for the Rich and powerful one for the weak and helpless,

He lied a lot to the authorities and the VP. So if you're a Trump Republican that's not like he did something wrong or anything.

Who cares, The truth will come out. Let's just get this peace of shxt of out of OFFICE.

Whose going to pardon Trump when he lands in the gray bar hotel? Not Biden

The true turkey pardon by realDonaldTrump

It is NOT surprising that CORRUPT Donald J. Trump Pardoned Michael Flynn. 🚨 Donald J. Trump will be Pardoning: 🔥 Donald J. Trump (himself) 🔥 Mike Pence 🔥 Rudy Giuliani 🔥 Stephen Miller 🔥 Stephen Bannon 🔥 Trump Jr. 🔥 Eric Trump 🔥 Ivanka Trump 🔴 and others

Trump is a national disgrace !

iamLucretiaMott That treasonous 🍕 of 💩—I can’t wait till his is in prison

Wow everyone is his circle is guilty including him and they are doing right out in the open

Interesting because while Flynn was pardoned for lying to the FBI by Trump, it won’t have any effect if he’s in the future charged with perjury or espionage or anything else stemming from a future investigation into his conduct by a real DOJ or for that matter a state DA.

Well, lying and Trump are like two peas in the same pod...so Flynn fit right in!

realDonaldTrump & his family can only thrive on criminals, lawlessness & anarchy. They are just bottom feeders who overinflated fiction, their wealth, & patriotism. Donald, like eric and Junior were born and breed to be failures & all they have done proves it. AP nytimes

First the Turkey now Flynn🥵

Treasonous pig pardons another treasonous pig. Real shocker there

iamLucretiaMott Accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt. He can now be called before Congress and cannot plead the Fifth.

Lying His family was threatened if he refused to lie. CNN lies!

Pleaded guilty because the bully Democrats were going after his son.. do we see a theme pattern going on with the bullying 🤨 But I’d like to thank President Trump for this gift of pardoning Flynn for Thanksgiving 🦃

Trump is unbelievable and it will come back to nip him in the but.....

This is no news. Totally expected. TraitorTrump FlynnTraitor TraitorBarr MoscowMitchMcConnell

Lame-ducks of a feather flock together, as they say. It is his Great Honor? To pardon a traitor and a liar, who bennefitted only himself, not the country, not anyone else? Shame. Disgrace. Disgust. WEAK. Small. Insecure. Not secure. Feeble. Humiliating. Travesty. Appalling.

He was fired for lying to Pence. He admitted, in court, twice, that he lied to the FBI. He did, however , refuse to say anything bad about Trump. Therefore, he gets a pardon. He may have had an honorable military career, in the end....he destroyed it

We all know that he already got his pardon assured. He's doing his part

Flynn pled guilty twice in a sweetheart deal where other charges were not filed, if he cooperated with other investigators President directs lackey to commit crimes with promise of eventual pardon. President grants pardon in hopes further investigations will stop.

Of course, he did. Just more evidence of the corruption of the TrumpCrimeSyndicate and of the need for an investigation by Biden’s DOJ.

Hopefully on Jan 20th handcuffs and arrest warrants will be waiting for trump. He belongs in prison with his buddy Weinstein since his good buddy Epstein's is dead.

Good. Excellent

Congratulations GenFlynn and thanks a million, Your Excellency POTUS realDonaldTrump !

That was a given...

Lying under oath is OK. But Vindman and his brother are punished for telling the truth. Craziness.

Not surprising, it is crowded down in the fetid swamp.

How can Flynn be pardoned? According to Trump, the WH and the GOP, he never committed a crime? So who did the lying? Trump promised to drain the swamp, but he's merely replaced it with shark infested waters

Next is the bonfire on the White House lawn... burn the paper trial, silence witnesses and destroy the evidence... all acts of an innocent man?

Despite the pardon his life is ruined. A shameful end.

Flynn was framed and half you turkeys are so indoctrinated and ignorant you just compliant to it. Your government is scummy and if you haven’t woke up and stop drinking the cool aid, Idk what to tell you

This is the week for pardoning turkeys, after all.

LOL Sometimes winning is just as simple as making a liberal cry. You probably didn’t know, but this holiday season I want you to remember, every time a liberal cries an Angel gets a smile.

I knew it!!

What did he lie about again? And I’m pretty sure there’s a law about lying to officers or something?

The Pardon Power is absolute.. and absolute autocrats & fascists love it.. cuz no one else gets a say! Pardons are NOT democratic & basically criminal decrees from the king! EndPardonPower or give it to Congress

Good.

Oh...do dirty 45 pardoned one of its do dirties? No surprise...45 will make pence president and have pence pardon him...wait for it.

Get his ass. It ain't over

Trump is about to pardon himself

Trump re-filling the swamp

DonaldTrump We can read you like a book! Wavers are in place. Just were not sure when your bullshit pardons would start.

Two criminals

Trump tweets that he has pardoned former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty in late 2017 to lying to the FBI. Another 778,000 Americans and Michael Flynn filed first-time unemployment claims last week.

Probably under instructions for Putin

It’s started.

Expect Trump to pardon more for his corruption. Flynn was found guilty & in order to get the pardon he has to agree he was guilty of the crimes. Flynn won't go to jail but forever be known as an American traitor and a disgrace to the uniform like Benedict Arnold.

Good. It all started with the Democrats witch-hunt. Republicans MUST do the same to Democrats. Open a fishing expedition. LindseyGrahamSC

That's a man with a kind heart. Always pardoning his enemies. JOE BIDEN CAN NEVER DO THIS.

TRUMP IS DONE AND SO IS MIKE FLYN I WONDER WHAT HE GOT ON TRUMP? BIRDS OF A FEATHER!!! HE PARDONING PEOPLE NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO PARDON HIM GOOD!!!!!

Yeah baby! BidenCrimeFamilly

Trump grants full pardon to Russia probe figure George PapadopoulosPresident Donald Trump granted a full pardon on Tuesday to George Papadopoulos, a former campaign aide who pleaded guilty as part of the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Anybody else have a premonition of impending doom? Are these shiny distractions? The Law & Order President. Cannot understand this type of democracy. Man has lost his position but during interim period till hand over to next President, he can destroy the country as well, if he so thinks. Just imagine if he is nuts, he could even press the nuclear button. Surely he should be stopped.

Trump is reportedly considering a pardon for the Trump Organization's chief financial officerOver the last six weeks, so many people have been calling and emailing the West Wing seeking pardons that White House staffers have had to create a spreadsheet to keep track of the requests, CNN reports.'It's turned crazy,' one person familiar with the matter said. 'There's a lot of activity.' The queries have been coming in from business associates close to Trump as well as high-profile criminals, CNN reports, and when people can't reach the president, they contact his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, or White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. After Trump goes over their case summaries, he often asks his friends for their opinions on whether a person deserves a pardon.As of now, Trump is contemplating pardons for more than two dozen people within his circle, CNN reports. One person he is considering for clemency is Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization. Weisselberg has been investigated for his involvement in arranging hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, the adult film star who said she had an affair with Trump.Trump aides told CNN that the president is spiraling and devolving further into denial about the election, which he lost. Trump has told aides he won't leave the White House on Inauguration Day, but is then talked out of it. 'He's throwing a f---ing temper tantrum,' one adviser told CNN. 'He's going to leave. He's just lashing out.'More stories from theweek.com Trump has reportedly been convinced he actually won, tells advisers he may not vacate the White House 5 insanely funny cartoons about Trump's election-fraud failure Ian McKellen says he feels 'euphoric' after getting his COVID-19 vaccine 1. So Trump KNOWS the Trump Organization committed Federal crimes? 2. PLEASE DO....this removes 5th Amendment protections and the Trump Org Officials HAVE to testify against Trump. Are all Republicans this dumb or just the Trump Sheep? THANK YOU PLEASE DO Vile Grifter, good bye.

Michael Flynn says Trump will remain president in first public remarks since pardon'I've been asked—on a scale of one to ten, who will be the next president of the United States, and I say Donald Trump. Ten,' Flynn told the crowd at a 'Stop the Steal' rally in Washington D.C. And we care about the Russian asset why? He’s a traitor and admitted his guilt not once, but twice. Then he admitted it again when he accepted a pardon. Didn't take him long to be a traitor again...
