Flynn, 61, was a top campaign surrogate for Trump in 2016 and led chants of"lock her up" about Trump's 2016 opponent, Hillary Clinton, in a speech at the Republican National Convention that year.
In one of the calls, Flynn asked Kislyak — whose communications were being monitored — if Russia would hold off on retaliatory sanctions against the U.S. because Trump would reverse the Obama administration's sanctions punishing Russia for election meddling. After Flynn’s initial plea, Trump tweeted,"I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI."
Trump’s opinion of Flynn appeared to change after Flynn switched lawyers and complained he’d been “duped” into pleading guilty by investigators seeking to nail Trump.The Justice Department also softened its stance on the case, with Barr ordering a U.S. Attorney to review the case and DOJin January to change the government's sentencing recommendation for Flynn from six months in jail to probation.
It’s only for lying to the FBI no? He has a hell of a lot more serious crimes that weren’t charged.
😬🤯😠
Donald Trump Pardons Mike Flynn, a convicted Liar & Traitor, while Trump keeps a Veteran & Patriot in a Federal Prison as his Political Prisoner! Ms. Reality Winner was thrown in Prison over 3 yrs ago for warning us of Russia’s Election Interference! She is ill & needs our help!!
During WW II America had a different solution for those who conspired with the enemy. Swift justice by 5 or more soldiers at the end of a barrel. Just sayin.
Trump is going to pardon more to keep himself from going to jail. Watch Pence I don’t know but Pence is going to pardon Trump, Trump does not pardon himself, what for America.
It is the strong personality of President Trump, not a weak point, he is a different president, because does not follow the Washington DC corrupted politicians way, as he says, “ANERICA ONLY” that is the reason he tweet direct to US people. Not behind curtain decisions.
RICO
How many terrorists did BillClinton pardon?
More lies and deception from MSNBC
These above the law criminal associates of Trump will be on the street soon with a pass. This has been a useless administration.
Sickening. But what else could one expect from this thug.
Good job President Trump, Mr. Flynn does not deserve the aggravation. Shifty shift should be ashamed of himself as should the Democrats who promoted this scandal!
Perhaps the senior leadership of the U.S. Army might want to look at the Army’s career development processes given that they allowed someone like Michael Flynn to reach the rank of Lieutenant General.
Will he pardon Postmasr General De Joy for truly trying to steal the election for Trump.
Lumpy PARDON two TURKEY'S this week!
Long line outside the Oval Office.
Such a disgrace.
Yep. This is what’s important right now.
Can these pardons be revoked if found to be unlawful? Or are they a no questions asked kind of thing? This is unbelievable!
Omfg
Trump is going help his buddies
He’s still guilty
That’s Trumps kinda people. Lying, prosecution.
ResisterSis20 Because realDonaldTrump is a coward and WILL NEVER BE RESPECTED AND KNOWN AS A PO💩 Around the WORLD. Jail this SRWSPOSFL
I see the Russian collusion went far.🤡👏
I would think he could never hold another government job. Right?
Figures, one criminal to another. The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Meanwhile in other news, Giuliani was exposed to another person who had tested positive for coronavirus and he and Trump wasn't at the Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, 'hearing' on Wednesday hosted by GOP state lawmakers over baseless allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 election.
He's still plead guilty to several felonies. Fu*k Trump and Flynn. Criminals stick together.
Idiot
thereidout Pardonpallooza day 1
Here come the Disney on Parade crew.
Vs trumps 36 so who really loves the pardon power?
D°πa|¶ T**m} knows that he lost the 2020 election. This is why he's pardoning his cohorts who freely, willfully and knowingly conspired with Putin's Russia to interfere in the 2016 election. If you follow the money paid to T**m} by Russian oligarchs the evidence will be clear.
So much for “law and order”
Of course he did!
Flynn still must testify truthfully before grand juries or courts of law, or perjure himself and face the consequences. The question is will Joe Biden appoint an honest attorney general? Or one who will leave Flynn unmolested and ignore Trump's high crimes for auld lang syne?
thereidout You only pardon the guilty. Bone spurs said that. Asshole
Flynn...Flynn?, Was that one of the Turkeys? Cause the other Flynn is a criminal, and wonder what FBI thinks about pardon. Tramp is really burning down justice system and abusing Constitution for HIS own benefit.
NicolleDWallace JoeNBC JohnBrennan How do WE allow da GOP “Government of Putin” Moscow senatemajldr hyena GOPLeader & 2 ever claim RULE OF LAW, PATRIOTISM & US CONSTITUTION? WE DON’T EVER ALLOW THESE HYPOCRITES BY REMINDING 🐷’s OF APPEASING 2 PUTIN’S realDonaldTrump🐷!💣
The pardon does not erase the felony and a felony that involves a national security offense would forfeit Flynn's military pention under the so-called “Hiss Act”.
thereidout I thought he was innocent Doesn’t this shot down MONTHS of DOJ machinations to try to get his guilty plea reversed 🤔
Stealing oxygen again. Rather you ignore him
Once corrupt always corrupt. thisisnotamerica Check it out:
Flynn is pardoned but he is still guilty. Facts never change......unless Trump is relating them! ‘Pardoned’ is a title that is a two edged sword.
Correctly considered, this pardon, obtained by the crook Drumpf, means the final conviction - the confirmation of the charges!
I DONT CITIZENS SHOULD BE HELD TO THE RULE OF ANY LAW IF THIS IS LEFT TO STAND.
So this President loves the power of pardon? Compare him to Obama then say that shit again.
What a crook he is, do we still have justice in this land?
Perfect time to subpoena him to appear before the house. Scheduled for Jan 21st 🤓
Loveon999 This is not breaking news, we all knew it was guaranteed to happen. Trump lives to do things like this & drive everyone crazy. Move on, there’s bigger fish to fry. Don’t feed his psychopathic appetite.
Time to investigate the quid pro quo behind the pardon. If it was given to buy silence, it's not legal or enforceable .
WE HAVE TO CHANGE POWERS OF THE PRESIDENCY. WE HAVE TO GET RID OF POLITICAL APPOINTEES TO FBI, DOJ AND OTHER AGENCIES. WE MUST CHANGE THE SUBPOENA POWERS OF CONGRESS. WE MUST CHANGE ALOT.
Crime pays in America but when it comes from our top Brass I feel an extra pinch in my stomach. I may have just been a lowly Grunt, but I had honor.
One corrupt POTUS pardoning one of his corrupt followers!!
General Flynn’s only crime was disagreeing with Obama on the Iran nuclear deal.
This is what Giuliani is pushing our country to accept, a criminal President whose claim to fame is pardons for criminals. The business community from all sectors should come together and deliver a direct message to Giuliani and co-conspirators, stop the charade.
JFC, Trump’s committed to shit the bed every day between now and Jan 20
This is all part of Donald Trump trying to cover up any leads that can obviousl help President Biden when he decides to punish Trump for high-crimes, treason, & the obstruction of Justice. It needs to happen, and Trump can no longer stop the process. America will serve justice!
nice
He covering up his assssss !!!
They are still both going down.
Flynn is a turkey 🦃
I thought Trump was just thinking about this pardon. Guess he made a pretty fast decision over night.
That right there should tell you why America voted him out.
