I saw a headline theorizing Deep State is trying to force Trump to pardon Flynn. I suppose they think this would be a great propaganda win but I don’t see it as being that good for them.
...a great propaganda win...

IANAL, but this looks like a trap for Trump. They will tee-up Impeachment 3.0 for politicizing the judiciary or something along those lines.
I think Powell will handle this well. Lawyers here have pointed out that 1) there are judicial processes available to handle this stuff; 2) the SCOTUS just ruled on the amicus brief trick and it was 9-0 against the practice w/RBG writing the opinion; 3) Sydney Powell will file for a Writ of Mandamus.
POTUS doesn’t need to get involved at this point. He’s
well-advised, so he’ll handle it.
