Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Grant of Clemency granting a Full Pardon to General Michael T. Flynn. The President has pardoned General Flynn because he should never have been prosecuted. An independent review of General Flynn’s case by the Department of Justice—conducted by respected career professionals—supports this conclusion. In fact, the Department of Justice has firmly concluded that the charges against General Flynn should be dropped. This Full Pardon achieves that objective, finally bringing to an end the relentless, partisan pursuit of an innocent man.
General Flynn should not require a pardon. He is an innocent man. Even the FBI agents who interviewed General Flynn did not think he was lying. Multiple investigations have produced evidence establishing that General Flynn was the victim of partisan government officials engaged in a coordinated attempt to subvert the election of 2016. These individuals sought to prevent Donald Trump from being elected to the Presidency, to block him from assuming that office upon his election, to remove him from office after his inauguration, and to undermine his Administration at every turn.
The prosecution of General Flynn is yet another reminder of something that has long been clear: After the 2016 election, individuals within the outgoing administration refused to accept the choice the American people had made at the ballot box and worked to undermine the peaceful transition of power. These efforts were enabled by a complicit media that willingly published falsehoods and hid inconvenient facts from public view, including with respect to General Flynn. They amounted to a brazen assault on our democracy and a direct attack on our fundamental political values.
While today’s action sets right an injustice against an innocent man and an American hero, it should also serve as a reminder to all of us that we must remain vigilant over those in whom we place our trust and confidence. The people who sit atop our intelligence and law enforcement agencies have tremendous power to affect the lives of their fellow citizens. The American people must always take care to scrutinize their actions, to hold them accountable, and to ensure that they use their immense power to uphold the rule of law rather than to harass, persecute, and jail their political opponents in pursuit of partisan political agendas.
Happy Thanksgiving to General Flynn and his family, and thank you all for your great service to our Nation!
And the next to last line of the statement
Same people bitching here that always do
Thanks for your personal experience you have with POTUS and Flynn that allows you to know their private communications.
I am truly impressed with your contacts.
Can I have your autograph?
Trump should do the same things to Biden’s team as Biden and Obama did to his.
btw, take a look here...and next time think before you attack POTUS or Flynn...

I agree. It would have been between them and them alone. They’re both like that.
From the link you posted, copying:
Today, the Flynn Family is grateful to President Donald J.Trump for answering our prayers and the prayers of a nationa by removing the heavy burden of injustice off the shoulders of our brother Michael, with a full pardon of innocence. We thank President Trump for recognizing our brother’s sacrifice in this battle for truth, our Constitution, our Republic and all that America stands for around the world – a true beacon of liberty. We are forever appreciative to President Trump for giving back to Michael his freedom in undoing a horrendous wrong.
That if from the family.
The prosecution left and the judge was just delaying the inevitable. Flynn and Powell wanted a win; instead they got a forfeit.
It seems the President and his administration want to move on the information that Flynn cannot share under gag order rules until Flynn is cleared or pardoned. The DS wouldn’t clear the charges because no more gag order on what Flynn knows.
So, the President moved things along with a pardon.

Flynn has not so much as said thank you to Trump.”
How do you know? Are you privy to every communication POTUS has?
Yea. Right. Whatever.
Your words speak for themselves.
Now slither back under your rock...
Might want to check my posting history before mouthing off. Just saying.
But you should at least do some minimal research and get your facts straight before arbitrarily making statements that will leave you with your foot in your mouth.
LOL!
Digging that hole deeper...just like you did when you attacked POTUS.
What a maroon!
Thanks for posting that statement by Barbara.. But in the earlier statement by Flynn himself, Trump was barely mentioned. I am glad to see the statement by the family.
Show me one example of Gen Flynn thanking POTUS Trump, and I will acknowledge I am wrong, wouldn’t be the first time. It’s a simple task for you right? Or is your go to move just going to be a childish temper tantrum?
