The case has been prosecuted and decided. The law doesn’t provide for any take backs. The DOJ made the decision to pursue the case and bring it to trial. The trial is over, except for the sentencing. Trump will, no doubt, pardon Flynn but he will forever have the guilty plea and conviction. (Just as Trump is forever impeached.)
