Donald Trump says he's considering 'full pardon' for Mike Flynn
[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.

#3 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.

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

#5 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.

#6 Makes you wonder who else they railroaded with the help of the media. You just know Flynn wasn't the first.

#9 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.

#11 Now that he's financially ruined. I want fucking names in the FBI and DOJ so Michael can sue their asses into the stone age.

#12 NoMoreBS,

#9 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.

As we suspected. Do you have any links to sources for more on this?
