Michael Flynn's brother to Trump: It's ‘about time you pardoned' him
[NY Post] Mike Flynn’s younger brother told President Trump it’s "about time" he pardoned "General Flynn" ‐ in a tweet he sent to the president and deleted minutes later.Joseph Flynn, the brother of Trump’s ex-national security adviser, was responding to a tweet by Trump that criticized the FBI investigation into his campaign team and administration. "About time you pardoned General Flynn who has taken the biggest fall for all of you given the illegitimacy of this confessed crime in the wake of all this corruption," Joseph Flynn tweeted. When contacted by Newsweek, Joseph Flynn confirmed the Trump Tweet. "I said it, and maybe he’s listening," the younger Flynn said. Mike Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI earlier this month. He is reportedly cooperating with authorities in the ongoing investigation into whether Trump officials colluded with Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign. When asked recently whether he was considering a pardon for Flynn, Trump replied that he didn’t "want to talk about pardons with Michael Flynn yet." "We’ll see what happens, let’s see," Trump said.
