    Great.

    Trump can pardon anyone convicted of a Federal Crime (at any time).

    So? Why does he have to go on Twitter and make a big stupid scene about it?

    Just pardon him and be done with it.

    Is Trump trying to score points with his "base"?

    "Hey Everybody! FORGET About the Virus! I am Gonna Pardon Flynn!"

    Could this Mistakenly-Elected IMBECILE be any more of a Complete MORON?:smh:

    Pardons are obviously a priority right now.

    Republicans, when you get blown out in November, try not to look too surprised.

    IMO Trump has shown us that we should do away with the office of the Presidency altogether. Too much power especially for a sociopathic racketeer. And clearly the USA is not above allowing a sociopathic racketeer to rise to the office of the presidency.

    WHEN Trump Loses in November, he will open the floodgates and start pardoning all of his political cronies by the hundreds.

    AFTER He Loses in November, it is a scary thought about how he may conduct himself during the Lame Duck Period.

    Hopefully he doesn't start WW3.

    A Full Pardon won't change the facts of the case

    - Flynn violated the Logan Act by asking the Russians not to respond to the Obama sanctions before taking office.
    - The White House knew it was likely Flynn violated it, but that it likely wouldn't be prosecuted.
    - Even so, Trump tried to obstruct justice privately with Comey
    - Flynn pleaded guilty to the charges

    In the eyes of the nation, Michael Flynn is a disgraced felon, although I freely admit his crimes pale in comparison to the person considering the pardon...

    Of course he is. Was there ever any doubt? Stone and Manafort will follow.

    Hard to argue with that last sentence.

    Still, since everyone knows that Trump has the power to do this at any time, why does Trump feel it necessary to tweet something like that?

    Is Trump actually such a MORON that he thinks that "Hey, Look over here" is going to work?

    Wow. Is Trump actually that DELUSIONAL?:smh:

    Well, even Trump realizes nobody wants to talk about Corona Virus 24x7..... And there are no sports going on (golf nut Trump was likely to be watching the final round of the TPC today), so he has to find something to do...

    Obviously, he doesn't want to spend time with his kids nor does his wife want anything to do with him.

    I suspect a relatively lonely person at his core... A man and his Twitter feed...

    Those are all lies. Flynn is fighting the process crimes he was charged with that was all Mueller could get on him. There is new evidence the whole investigation was a s am and Mueller knew there was no connection between Trump and Russia

    Trump gave Comey full discretion, he did not obstruct the investigation in anyway. As I've said repeatedly, if the case were brought against Donald Trump, I believe my argument of not guilty is FAR stronger than a guilty verdict.

    Secondly, I don't hold it to be a violation of the Logan Act because the incoming administration is for all intents and purposes the government. Why else do we have national elections? If Obama had tried to start a war, would Trump have had to inherit that war? Seriously?

    I am grateful for General Flynn's actions to stabilize what was going to become an unstable situation. This, ironically when President Obama bragged that he wanted to do for Trump what Bush did for him. Yes, what a wonderful success at that Mr. President!

    If Trump wants to give a full pardon, he's in his power to do so. And for those of us who actually pay attention, the pardon is just deserved. But first, he'd have to actually be sentenced. Sentenced for working for peace!

    I would rather have Trump win and (to use your words) open the floodgates for pardons, than your party win and open the country to as many illegals as can be induced to come here for free stuff.

    Curious how a man as successful as Trump is called an imbecile by liberals. The same liberals that demand free stuff because earning a living in a competitive society is too challenging for them. Now given the fact you don't like Trump, there are a lot of insults you could use. But calling him an imbecile simply demonstrates how you Trump haters torture the English language. That and an extreme (and amusing) level of angst.

    Yes, I'm sure they're terrified. There will be an endless loop playing of Trump saying this will be gone by April and "whoever wants a test can get a test".

    Anything done before Jan 20th 2017 was Obama's responsibility and call, any wars included.

    Same will be the case for President Biden in January 2021 (with a much stronger possibility of a war BTW).

    It's in the Constitution (date revised via the 20th amendment) that there is an inauguration date (and time), where one administration ends and the next administration begins...

    No overlaps...
