[MAIL] President Donald Trump said on Sunday he is considering a full pardon for his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, who had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about dealings with Russia's ambassador before Trump took office.
Flynn sought to withdraw the guilty plea in January, arguing that prosecutors violated his rights and duped him into a plea agreement.
Trump said the FBI and Justice Department had 'destroyed' Flynn’s life and that of his family, and cited an unspecified, unsubstantiated report that they had lost records related to Flynn.

Pardon's not enough. Prosecute the f---ers who re-wrote the interview notes and then railroaded and bankrupted the man. Prison terms for them. Make them pay restitution also.

Might Attorney Sidney Powell be interested in exploring the circumstances surrounding the alleged affair of retired General David Petraeus and biographer Paula Broadwell ?

Agree with Lex #3. Prosecutorial Misconduct of a level that merits demands legal penalties. At least some time in "Club Fed" and loss of retirement benefits ... make it painful.

Flynn’s attorney Sydney Powell said she has a connection inside the NYPD who has seen some of the 600k emails on the seized laptop of Anthony Weiner. She said it was worthy of military exploration and protection. The breath of the rot during the 8 yrs of Obama can never be understated. My sense is it, like the 302s, will be misplaced forever.

As we suspected. Do you have any links to sources for more on this?
[The Hill] Former Vice President Joe Biden vowed on Sunday to choose a woman as his running mate if he wins the Democratic presidential nomination.
"I commit that I will, in fact, pick a woman to be vice president," Biden said at a Democratic presidential debate in Washington. "There are a number of women who are qualified to be president tomorrow."
CNN moderator Dana Bash asked Biden again if he was committed to picking a woman after he answered a separate question, and the former vice president replied affirmatively. "Yes," he said.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said he would "in all likelihood" pick a woman as his running mate if he could upset Biden and win the nomination.
Sanders added that more important than choosing a woman as his running mate would be choosing a progressive to run alongside him.
[PRESSTV] Former Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020... says he is adopting two plans by Senators Bernie Sanders ...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around... ’s and Elizabeth Being Native American has been part of my story since the day I was born Warren ...The Great White Squaw, Lizzie is the Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts. She traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. She has high cheekbones that stretch all the way to the top of her head. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless... for the 2020 presidential election.
"Across the country, middle and working class families are being squeezed by debt," said the Democratic frontrunner on Twitter Sunday. "This is a massive problem, and one that we need all of the best ideas to solve. That's why today, I'm adopting two plans from @BernieSanders and @ewarren to achieve this."
Sanders had proposed to make public colleges and universities free for families whose income is below $125,000.
US Senator Elizabeth Warren is dropping out of the presidential race following another round of disappointing finishes in primary contests across the country.
"It's a good idea, and after consideration, I am proud to add it to my platform," Biden posted.
He also endorsed Warren’s proposal called "Fixing Our Bankruptcy System to Give People a Second Chance," asserting that "few people in the country understand how bankruptcy hurts working families more than Elizabeth Warren."
"This primary has brought out our party's best ideas, and our nation is better for it," he tweeted. "If I'm President, I'll continue to bring the best ideas from all corners of the country and fight to make them reality."
Biden, moderate Democrat with most delegates so far, made the comments ahead of a debate with Sanders, a socialist Democrat also vying for the party’s nomination ahead of the November vote.

Another taxpayer funded progressive subsidy to rich dems in inefficient areas of the economy.
[NYPOST] Andrew Gillum said Sunday night that he will enter a rehab facility to address his alcohol abuse.
The former Florida gubernatorial candidate made the decision after he was found inebriated inside a Miami Beach hotel room early Friday morning with another man who allegedly overdosed on crystal meth.
"After conversation with my family and deep reflection, I have made the decision to seek help, guidance and enter a rehabilitation facility at this time," Gillum said in a statement. Did that "family conversation" include the fact that you were reportedly nekkid with a man who is known as a "male escort" in an unfamiliar hotel room?
Gillum, a Democrat who lost to now-Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2018, revealed that since that race, he "fell into a depression that has led to alcohol abuse."
Without addressing Friday’s events, he said, "This has been a wake-up call for me."
The 40-year-old was found vomiting in the bathroom of Mondrian South Beach by Aldo Mejias, 56, who then called police.
Another man, Travis Dyson, 30, collapsed on the bed and was treated for a possible drug overdose. Officers found three baggies of crystal meth on the bed and hotel room floor, according to Miami New Times.
In a statement after Friday’s incident, Gillum said alcohol ‐ not drugs ‐ was to blame for his intoxicated state.
Gillum said that with his decision to enter rehab, he forgo all "public facing roles for the foreseeable future."

Finally, a Dem pol with at least a modicum of self-awareness and humility.
Admitting that you are a sh!t and a despicable person - even if couched in the therapeutic BS of our era ("need help") - is the necessary first step toward redemption

Andrew Gillum topped the proverbial "dead girl or live boy" fastest way to destroy a political career with "nearly dead gay escort boy". Congrats Andy!
[NYPOST] Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... and Bernie Sanders ...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around... detailed the precautions they are taking to ward off the coronavirus ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... during Sunday night’s 11th 2020 Democratic primary debate.
The candidates are both in their late 70s and therefore at high-risk of being impacted by the illness ‐ and CNN debate moderator Dana Bash pointed out Sanders had a heart attack in October, leaving him even more vulnerable should he contract the virus.
"I am very careful about the people I am interacting with," Sanders said, adding he’s been using lots of soap and hand sanitizer and isn’t experiencing any symptoms.
Sanders, 78, also said his campaign staff is working from home and hosting virtual events, like his fireside chat on Saturday night, to limit person-to-person contact.
When answering Biden, 77, took a shot at his opponent’s health, saying: "Well fortunately I don’t have any of the underlying conditions you talked about" to Bash.
He also said his campaign was taking similar measures as Sanders to adhere to CDC guidelines and that he was "taking all precautions anyone would take."
"I wash my hands God knows how many times a day with hot water and soap," Biden said.

I'd prefer Chuck Norris.
You do know Chuck Norris caught the coronavirus?
It died a horrible death.

They're maintaining social separation by holding rallies that no one attends.
Cher was once known for being one of the most talented singers and actresses in the world. Now, however, she has completely shattered this image for many of her fans, as she is better known these days for her deranged rants against President Donald Trump.
Cher let loose on the president once again last night by calling for him to be forced to step down, outrageously claiming that he’ll kill thousands of Americans if he is not removed from office.
"Believe 4 Good Of Country, trump, Pence & administration MUST BE FORCED 2 STEP DOWN, BECAUSE HE WILL END UP KILLING THOUSANDS OF." Cher tweeted. "HES LIED, & WE ARE NOT PREPARED/PROTECTED. WE ARE ON SAME TRAJECTORY AS ITALY.‼️HE PUT NO ONE IN CHARGE TILL IT WAS TOO LATE.HE’LL SUCK HIS thumb."
As you can see, spelling, grammar, and logic are not Cher’s fortes in life. Still no word on what the "he’ll suck his thumb"part at the end meant...
Hours after Cher’s tweet was posted, Trump took action by declaring a national emergency and issuing a sweeping financial relief package "to ensure that working Americans impacted by the virus can stay home without fear of financial hardship," according to Breitbart News.
"I will soon be taking emergency action, which is unprecedented, to provide financial relief," Trump said, adding that the assistance would be offered to "workers who are ill, quarantined, or caring for others due to coronavirus."
Even Cher’s own California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, has praised Trump for the actions he’s taken to combat the coronavirus. "He said everything that I could have hoped for, and we had a very long conversation, and every single thing he said they followed through on," Newsom said of Trump.
The reality is that there is nothing that Trump could do that would win over Cher. He could personally find a cure for coronavirus that would save thousands of lives all over the world, and Cher still would find ways to bash him.
Cher is far too infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome at this point to see any of the good that Trump is doing for our country. She can keep tweeting about him from her Beverly Hills mansion, but her hate is not going to stop him from being re-elected come November.

Sounds as if during one of her crying jags, she imbibed too much scotch courage to overcome her loneliness and decided to become intellectual. It didn't work.

She's very far from unique in the industry. If you ever spent a moment on a movie set the most prominent names on location have an obsessive lack of self confidence coupled with a bad toddler's need for attention. Just add in a streak of hysteria ramped way past 11 if they don't get precisely what they have demanded, and Voila! you have a star.
