Pardon means admitting guilt and remorse.

He already did the first and he can fake the second.

Freepers are delusional. If he was appointed to any of these posts, Flynn would go down as the first presidential appointee in history who failed to get a single U.S. senator to vote for his confirmation. Even if everything goes his way and he’s completely cleared, the last 3+ years have exposed him as an embarrassment to anyone with an ounce of credibility.

His career in government is over — unless he was a stooge for the Democrats all along.

Abolish or split up the DC Circuit court. Form a different circuit court because DC is not a state and therefore doesn’t need a circuit court.

Congress establishes judicial circuits. Congress would have to disestablish it or split it up.

It also keeps him from suing the scum prosecution.

I disagree, if FLynn can be exhonerated by the system, that he can’t be appointed. I do agree that won’t happen, if Trump has to be the one to pardon him.

However, it’s hard to argue against appointing him if it was the system that cleared him.

He can be appointed. He’ll never be confirmed. Not only that ... he won’t get a SINGLE SENATOR to vote to confirm him.

The kindest thing I can say about the guy is that he comes across as an inept moron.

Let the case play out. We are all a bit diverted by Judge Sullivan; he has made himself a Dickens character now.

Agree. With a pardon he will not be able to screw Strzok, Page, McCabe, Comey . . . to the wall with civil lawsuits.

“Pardon means ‘guilty.’ No, let this play out and rub the deep states noses in it.

********

Regrettably, this is exactly right. Emmett Sullivan and his enablers and handlers keep doubling down on stupid; and they keep getting their arses kicked. It’s sad for General Flynn, a good man, but this has to go all the way.

Sullivan would appeal the pardon. That’s not sarcasm either.

I assume the Justice department has been invited to file a response also.

No. Flynn needs to be fully exonerated. This is what the DOJ pulling the case did. Sullivan is being a jerk

Since case is still going through sentencing and hasn’t finished yet there is no need to pardon

And keeps him at no pension

Full exoneration. Nothing less

It would be better to allow that jackass Judge Emmett Sullivan to continue his en banc petition to the end. If he gets his way, then take the case to the Supreme Court which would shoot it down and make a fool of him and his escapades.

a pardon at this point is a REALLY bad idea ... it lets that kommie judge, Emmet Sullivan, off the hook and leaves Flynn without final resolution of having all charges dismissed and never having convicted in the first place ... it’s the same reason Stone turned down a pardon ... Flynn has nothing left to loose by seeing this travesty to a fully just ending as Sidney Powell is working for him pro bono ...

“It is part of the strategy of the Left to push President Trump into pardoning General Flynn. Then they can claim he was always guilty and President Trump pardoned him for partisan purposes.”

exactly ... far better to see this travesty to it’s natural end with the appeals court ordering sullivan to grant the DoJ’s demand to drop all charges due to gross misconduct on the part of obama’s DoJ ...

“A pardon would be the worst thing to do. Let it play out and expose the corruption. General Flynn can sue the pants off the government for prosecutorial misconduct. If he is pardoned all that disappears.”

totally ... WSJ must be trying to nuke Trump with this “advice” ... given WSJ’s any anti-trump stances, it’s always best to do the opposite of anything the recommend ...
