Michael Flynn is going to get not only a full pardon, but he is going to made whole, financially...plus a few million for his time and trouble.
I hope you are right. He may file a few lawsuits himself before this is over.
Flynn should be richly compensated by his abusers.
As well he should be. Glad to see that even some foreigners that the Deep State thought they could drag into their game are objecting. $25 million is a good objection.
“... but he is going to made whole,...”
I assume you meant well by your comment, but it is at best naive... and calling what was done to him “time and trouble” is glib.
No, he is not going to be made whole - because he cannot be completely made whole. He has lost his house, his reputation, his career, and suffered the fears for his family - going on years now. The stress alone has probably worsened his health, and possibly shortened his life.
No amount of monetary compensation can turn back the clock, and efface what was done to him. This is not the MCU Multi-Verse.
Compensation is not eradication.
One of the reasons I refuse to “pass the popcorn” is because I actually understand the damage that has been done to the Constitutional Rule of Law, and to the Constitutional Rights of American citizens.
I include those for whom Trump supporters typically care nothing - or worse, for whose suffering they actually celebrate, such as Michael Cohen.
(Note Well: There are those on this very forum who have said that Flynn was corrupt, possibly a traitor, and that he deserved everything that happened to him.)
It is irrelevant if any of them committed crimes; those possible crimes were not lawfully investigated and prosecuted. What is relevant is that the unelected bureaucratic state abused their power under the color of law to damage and destroy the lives of citizens, simply because they supported and assisted Donald Trump at some point in some way.
Conservatives generally have been far too concerned with the potential damage to Donald Trump, and far too little concerned with the actual damage done to those around him.
This personal destruction via unbridled Federal power has been going on for decades - Robert Bork, Tom DeLay, Scooter Libby - it has simply become more extreme and blatant due to Trump receiving the nomination, and then winning the election.
Paul Manafort is an old man in solitary confinement, for “crimes” that are S.O.P. in D.C., and from the consequences of which the Podesta brothers were protected by the very Deep State that destroyed Manafort. Michael Caputo has said that he will never serve on another Republican campaign. Roger Stone, an unarmed man, had his life and the life of his deaf wife endangered by a wholly unnecessary SWAT. The list goes on.
None of these people will ever be as they were before this; therefore, none of them will ever be made entirely whole. Period.
