“I know you will now have a truly fantastic Thanksgiving,” Trump wrote of the former national security adviser

a Bible verse, Jeremiah 1:19, and an American flag. “And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee,” the verse reads.

Applied to Flynn’s case, the “they” here is the federal government. Flynn lied to investigators about his communications with Russia following Trump’s election in 2016. He pleaded guilty to doing so in February of 2017, and soon after Trump forced him to resign as national security adviser. Flynn pleaded guilty again, to a felony count of knowingly lying to the FBI, that December.

Trump softened toward Flynn following his departure from the White House, using him to paint the Mueller investigation as a hoax. Trump cried that Flynn was being “persecuted” and “entrapped” by the “crooked”with which he was cooperating. The case grew more complicated as Flynn switched legal teams in 2019 when it appeared a prison sentence was coming down the pike.

This is becoming more like a Frank Miller comic by the day

Because you always pardon innocent people

It’s become tradition for a US president to pardon a turkey in advance of thanksgiving. This one comes with a side of treason and corruption.

Everyone commenting on this post are racist, most fans of rock music are racist.

The law and order president abuses his authority to pardon a self admitted criminal. There will be dozens more to come. Trumptypical

Of course he does 🙄, fuck Trump

Trump is the worst president of my 61 years on earth. Even worse than Nixon.

Positive note......a 'man' believing he won re-election wouldn't be pardoning his criminal buddies

realDonaldTrump was supposed to pardon a turkey, instead he pardoned a corrupt traitor! MichaelFlynn

Trump remains a corrupt coward who has no respect for the rule of law.

If Trump keeps pardoning his buddies, he’s going to find himself all alone in the slammer.

As disappointing as it is unsurprising

AWESOME!!!!!!!

Doesn’t quite give realDonaldTrump the legitimacy he was looking for ..does it?

And then did he go golfing?

Flynn has been pardoned but those sunglasses haven’t.

A traitor pardons a traitor. Break out the borscht and vodka

Criminals pardoning criminals. Bad precedent. badpresident

And so it begins...

Shocker.

Stares in loss of 5th Amendment protections

What a joke. TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

Looks like Trump pardoned 2 turkeys today.

Trump announces 'a Full Pardon' for Michael Flynn in tweetJUST IN: President Trump tweets that he has pardoned former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty in late 2017 to lying to the FBI 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
