President Trump has told confidants he plans to pardon his former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty in December 2017 to lying to the FBI about his Russian contacts, two sources with direct knowledge of the discussions tell Axios.
The big picture: Flynn's pardon would be the culmination of a four-year political and legal saga that began with the FBI's investigation into possible coordination between the Trump campaign and the Russian government in the 2016 election

Gen Michael Flynn and Gen Benedict Arnold both started out as patriots who served their country well.
Arnold died a traitor in England.
He was not lucky enough to have a Donald Trump on his side.

One, those who stayed loyal to him, not because of loyalty, but to rub it in the nose who turned on him.
And I still think he'll resign at some point with a deal with Pence pardoning him.
