WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump confirmed Sunday he is considering a "Full Pardon" for former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty to charges of lying to the FBI about contacts with a Russia diplomat.

Claiming the FBI and Justice Department "lost" some of Flynn's records after "destroying his life & the life of his wonderful family," Trump tweeted: "How convenient. I am strongly considering a Full Pardon!"

Attorney General William Barr has appointed an outside prosecutor to review the case against Flynn, who is still awaiting sentencing in federal court after pleading guilty to lying to the FBI.

Trump sent the Flynn tweet just minutes before his scheduled phone conference with grocery executives to discuss the coronavirus threat. Flynn is in the process of trying to withdraw his guilty plea, claiming prosecutors engaged in misconduct.

Donald Trump is “strongly considering a full pardon” for Michael Flynn, his first national security adviser who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his dealings with the Russian ambassador before Trump took office.

Flynn cut a deal as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian election interference and links between Trump and Moscow.

He initially cooperated with the investigation, which concluded last year without establishing criminal conspiracy but did lay out extensive evidence of contact between Trump aides and Russia and possible obstruction of justice by the president himself.

Flynn, who was fired as national security adviser after only 24 days in the role, has not yet been sentenced but a number of Trump aides and associates have been convicted and jailed in cases arising from Mueller’s work.

20. Very strongly. And powerfully. Nt

[FailureToCommunicate]

4. Trump is just trying to change the subject away from his disastrous handing of Covid-19

pandemic.

[customerserviceguy]

10. I think

he's taken advantage of the fact that 95% of news stories are about coronavirus to sneak shit in there with as little notice as possible. I would imagine that lots of people have simply tuned out news because it's so depressing.

[PSPS]

16. I agree. He was going to do this anyway but he can't stand not being in the spotlight anymore.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. Donny Six Words attempts distraction. . . . nt

[lordsummerisle]

6. Full Pardon, OK

Is there any other type, like a Partial Pardon?

[cstanleytech]

7. Dear Donald,

If you pardon him then he can be compelled to testify against you in any criminal case and he cannot use the 5th amendment to protect you.

[Golden Raisin]

8. The U.S.A., indeed the World, is facing

an horrendous pandemic plague accompanied by a staggering financial crash and he's futzing around with a pardon for Flynn? First fucking things first.

[truthisfreedom]

9. Stfu mr president. You should be laser-focused on this crisis

Announcing, for example, that the us army corps of engineers is hard at work building temporary structures to house victims of the trump virus.

[Zambero]

11. "Lock her up!" but pardon actual criminals who did his bidding

The Trump "system of justice".

[Dem2theMax]

12. Good to see he has his priorities straight.

I wouldn't want him to go out of his way to take care of us.

[DallasNE]

13. Apparently Trump's Plate Is Not Very Full

If his priority is something this insignificant.

[NCjack]

14. Benedict Arnold, except for one small mistake, was a patriot and nice guy. Nicer than

RussianAgent Mike Flynn. RussianAgent-#45 should pardon Benedict before pardoning Flynn. That is only fair. Also, I think Rosenbergs could qualify for a pardon.

[SergeStorms]

15. Well of course he is.

He's going to pardon all the criminals that fell on their swords for him. It's the republican thing to do.

[turbinetree]

17. More deflection of your treason and his treason.................no matter what you do traitor

you are still IMPEACHED................and your still a fucking traitor..................... .

November 3, 2020 cannot get here fast enough...........................

18. 45 is his own worst enemy

He complains and bitches and tweets and.... on and on and on.... "the press makes me look bad!"

Why would he even consider discussing a pardon for his buddy right now?

He has more important things to be concerned about, and the public knows it.

[Mc Mike]

19. No doubt.

What else would a 'law and order' prezdent do?
