https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/25/politics/trump-pardon-michael-flynn/index.htmlReaction from pretty much all Republicans is praise for the move... because of course. The party is rotten to the core. There's a narrative that Flynn was somehow entrapped, which is blatantly untrue.
Flynn is no American patriot. He was an unregistered foreign agent for Turkey during the campaign and transition...
he told multiple lies to the FBI about his contact with Russia during the transition, in which he hobbled the actions of the current administration at the time. The reality is he got a good deal from the government... and the only reason he's not going to jail is because we have a corrupt president.
As did Hillary Clinton. But you know that, because I've pointed it out to you several times.
Flynn tried to bury a story and ended up lying when he shouldn't have lied. His call with Kisylak was completely above board, and he should have known as much and just told the truth. But in context of what has happened, and not happened, there's zero justice in pursuing him at this point. The pardon is completely fine.
