Maybe the deep states wants to prod Trump to issue pardons, in advance of the election, and then charge him with obstruction of justice (since pressure was being put on Flynn and others to cooperate in other cases)?

Anything goes, in today’s jurisprudence...

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.
