And in the what else is new new department .........

Trump tweets raise speculation about potential Flynn pardon
By ERIC TUCKER and JILL COLVIN

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Thursday tweeted his support for his former national security adviser Michael Flynn, raising speculation that a pardon may be coming after Flynn’s lawyers released internal FBI documents they claim show the FBI was trying to entrap him.

Trump has long said he is considering pardoning Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI in early 2017 about his conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States. The president spent Wednesday night and Thursday morning retweeting supportive statements and a video Flynn tweeted of an American flag flapping in the wind.

“What happened to General Michael Flynn, a war hero, should never be allowed to happen to a citizen of the United States again!” Trump wrote Thursday morning as his counselor Kellyanne Conway was on Fox News Channel responding to the case.

I guess he doesn't know that if he pardons the dickhead and accepts he is basically admitting his guilt............

I heard one of the OAN Barbies ask this at a presser the other day. Trump was right on topic as you’d imagine. This is HUGE SHAKES in RW world. Devin Nunes was even talking about it a few nights ago.

It doesn’t matter what happens with Flynn. They have already set this into legend and lore.

I did find an ABC story on it that said - eh, nothing here that’s going to get him off.

Google Flynn and it’s National Review The Federalist Sara Carter Wash. Times Fox. You name it.

That’s worth a book per RW hack by itself

It’s pretty nice when you can be in charge and still everyone is against you. The DEEP STATE was a brilliant bilking of RW pockets.
