Trump Considers Full Pardon of Michael Flynn, After Blasting FBI for “Lost Records”

Recently, it was announced that Michael Flynn planned to withdraw his guilty plea on a charge of lying to the FBI. President Trump just announced on Twitter that he is considering a “Full Pardon” in light of evidence that he may have received indicating that the “FBI, working in conjunction with the DOJ,” has “lost” his records.

So now it is reported that, after destroying his life & the life of his wonderful family (and many others also), the FBI, working in conjunction with the Justice Department, has “lost” the records of General Michael Flynn. How convenient. I am strongly considering a Full Pardon!

Left-wing media personalities like Newsweek columnist Seth Abramson have already accused him of using the Coronavirus pandemic as “cover” for the situation.

Another, NBC and MSNBC news analyst, Barb McQuade said that “Flynn admitted in open court that he lied to the FBI. That alone is a crime.”

Flynn admitted in open court that he lied to the FBI. That alone is a crime. The lie was about assuring Russia that Trump would remove sanctions for election interference. I have seen no reports of lost records, but even if it were so, that would not undo Flynn’s serious crime. https://t.co/768OU1hWgv

Whether Trump does end up pardoning Flynn, it appears that there is some question now whether he truly is guilty or if he just did what he thought was best at the time and it is clear that this is a matter of national security so for these media personalities to act like the President is just trying to play politics is not right.
