I disagree, not because I don’t think that Flynn deserves to be pardoned. However, it would make it almost impossible to appoint him to what he was supposed to do when Trump first appointed him, clean up the intelligence communities.
If Flynn gets exhonerated by the system, he’s in the clear to be appointed. If he gets pardoned, than he can’t be appointed. That may by why the judge in question is trying to stretch it out, to make Trump pardon him and take Flynn out himself.
I’d rather have Flynn be in the clear and come down like an avenging angel.
His career in government is over unless he was a stooge for the Democrats all along.
