President Trump said he is seriously considering a pardon for former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn.
“So now it is reported that, after destroying his life & the life of his wonderful family (and many others also), the FBI, working in conjunction with the Justice Department, has 'lost' the records of General Michael Flynn. How convenient. I am strongly considering a Full Pardon!” Trump tweeted on Sunday.
Flynn, 61, pleaded guilty in December 2017 for lying to investigators about his conversations with then-Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak, and faces possible prison time.
After swapping legal teams, Flynn changed his tune, telling the U.S. District Court in Washington in January, “I am innocent of this crime." He filed to withdraw his guilty plea after the Justice Department asked Judge Emmet Sullivan to sentence Flynn to up to six months in prison, though afterward, the department said it believed probation would also be appropriate. Flynn's team, led by Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor, is now pressing for the dismissal of his case, arguing that the client was unfairly treated by the FBI.

Just Do It
Better late than never, but it just seems too late.
Please do, Mr Trump, and let’s lose the FBI. No need for these corrupt bastards at all.
All of them, Sean.
Do it now.
God only knows what other files have been conveniently lost and He is in control of all things. Keep praying everyone!
Good.
The fbi doesn’t lose records. They destroy records when it serves their purpose.
Do it. Put it to bed... another issue goes away.
He might as well...Barr is a fraud.
Now’s the time for President Trump to pardon General Flynn and also Roger Stone. Stop the nonsense!!!
First suspend his sentence. After the election, whether trump wins or loses. That’s when you issue the full pardon.
Do it already!
And then rehire him if he still wants the job!
records have been conveniently lost only because the prosecution is faced with more discovery requests and testimony re the FBI guys whose 302s were altered.. all sorts of illegal behavior was about to come out, IMMO.
Do it!
Expunge the record. Wipe it out. Fire whomever (Wray) allowed the files to be “lost”.
I don't think he has been sentenced yet. I would hope that the Federal Judge overseeing the case would at least castigate the FBI and dismiss the case with prejudice.
Good , the sooner the better!
