Pardon would likely be challenged under the grounds that it is part of an effort to obstruct justice in the original action.

the evidentiary basis for the removal of the guilty plea was never reached. Barr and Justice had gone to Circuit Court to take that decision out of the hands of the trial court

More prison time.

He knew he was guilty and said so in two different courts with two different judges, and in his written admission of guilt.

Later saying, “I didn’t mean it!” = perjury.

Clearly explained in Judge Gleeson’s petition to the Court of Appeals.

- Flynn is a traitor.
- Flynn was turned by Russia in 2013.
- Flynn had a “honeypot” Russian assigned to him 2014-2015.
- I can’t prove it but I suspect Russia put Trump and Flynn together in 2015.
- I think Flynn could/should be charged, along with his son, of conspiracy to commit felony kidnapping.
- On the 4th of July of this year, Flynn and his son took an oath - to QANON! What General would do this???

What I tell others: Remember, it was FLYNN’s attorney’s who begged the Special Council for a plea deal! Because the other shit they had on Flynn and his son WAS WORSE!

Schussel in the WSJ, Pirro on her shitty show, Ingraham, Hannity, etc. Because now it was before “no nonsense” judge Sullivan, a Reagan and Bush nominee to the court. He was going to tear the FBI and Mueller to shreds.

It was not a good day for them.

After the judge asked prosecutors, “Why didn’t you charge him with treason?”

Because Sullivan demanded to see and read the unredacted evidence that no one, to include the Congress, had seen on Flynn.
