President Trump Announces That Gen. Michael Flynn ‘Has Been Granted a Full Pardon’

It was reported yesterday that President Trump had told confidants he planned to pardon Gen. Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty in December 2017 to lying to the FBI about his Russian contacts.

Today, that appears to have happened as the president announced in a tweet that “It is my Great Honor to announce that General Michael T. Flynn has been granted a Full Pardon.”

Trump congratulated his former national security adviser, and said, “Congratulations to Gen. Flynn and his wonderful family, I know you will now have a truly fantastic Thanksgiving!”

Earlier, Gen. Flynn had tweeted out a bible verse, Jeremiah 1:19, and added an American flag emoji.

The bible verse that he referenced, reads, “‘They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you,’ declares the Lord.”

Gen. Flynn has recently been involved in the election fight and apparently in communication with Sidney Powell as he had previously announced that she had “been suspended from Twitter for 12 hours.”

“She understands the WH press release & agrees with it. She is staying the course to prove the massive deliberate election fraud that robbed #WeThePeople of our votes for President Trump & other Republican candidates,” Flynn had reported.
