Ahem, if the charges are dropped, as ordered, no need for a pardon. Pardons only necessary when claims of guilt are drawn up by Justice.

Yes I get that. I know how the system works.

My point was that if Flynn decides to violate his gag order and spill the beans Trump has the option of pardoning him for that. The point it to demonstrate to Judge Sullivan that the truth is going to come out here in any case so his stall tactics have become pointless.

Do you know if there ever has been a “gag order?”

I don’t know if “gag orders” are even constitutional. Going to check that one out.
