And McCabe’s penalty for lying to the FBI?

POTUS has a Constitutional right to pardon, and if anyone deserves a pardon, it is Flynn. If democrats try to turn it against him, they will fail. Flynn did NOTHING wrong; he was set up, and everyone but the dumbest of village idiots, knows it. The fact that the FBI, instead of withdrawing the charge, is doubling down, is an indication that Barr should step in (if that is allowed by law) and withdraw the charge. After POTUS pardons Flynn, his next act should be to fire Wray and replace him with someone who is above reproach. Not sure who that might be, but surely there is someone with the courage, ability, and will to clean up the FBI.
It disturbs me that Barr has come out in support of Wray; hopefully, theirs is a false truce, and Barr intends to drop the hammer, and is just waiting for Trump to fire Wray, not wanting to go over Trump’s head.

This is supposed to be Bill Barr's DOJ.

PDJT should pardon Flynn before he’s escorted in hand-cuffs out of the court.

End the nightmare for this patriot. Then set him lose on the Deep State.

If PDJT pardons LTG Flynn, he will gain a half million more votes.

People here who are picking the flys*** out of the pepper over Gen. Flynn’s adherence to parole should consider the towering injustice of how he has been abused by the Deep State.

Like many retired officers and I’m one, he found out the hard way what happens when you trust the system.

Just wait until after the election.

Trump will have more flexibility then. </sarcasm>

Yes, I, too, think that most of the American people will be supportive of a Flynn pardon, but really, I think Barr should withdraw the charges, if it is legal for him to do so.
It never has seemed right to me that if the FBI lies to a person, no sweat. I mean, if we’re talking about a serial killer, with unquestioned evidence against him, sure. On the other hand, if they have solid evidence of crime, why should they lie?

"The sentence should adequately deter the defendant from violating the law, and to promote respect for the law,"

So when does hillary and a hundred democrats and few dozen FBI guys and girls start serving their 30 year sentences?

If respect for the law is what we are after.

perhaps he is laying the groundwork for when McCabe, Comey, Brennan and Clapper are locked up. If it is good for the goose...

For lying? How about that for Comey, Brennan and Clapper? They lied too.

If Flynn gets 6 months then these clowns should get 60 years. That would be fair and in perspective.

Michael Flynn’s Former Partner Acquitted On All Counts By Judge In Eastern Virginia Court
SaraCarter.com ^ | September 24, 2019 | Sara Cartger
Posted on 9/24/2019, 9:45:32 PM by E. Pluribus Unum
In a stunning move, a judge in the Eastern District of Virginia overturned the conviction of ex-business partner of former National Security Advisor Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Bijan Rafiekian, Tuesday who was charged earlier this year with undisclosed lobbying that prosecutors claimed was to ensure the extradition of a Muslim cleric living in the United States back to his homeland of Turkey.
