After this perverse dance by the appellate court is done and all recourse of justice has been exhausted, Trump will Have to pardon him.

Pardon him for what? Flynn has not done anything wrong or been convicted of anything illegal.
For these LEFTIST judges he is GUILTY OF PATRIOTISM!
He can't.
This gets a bit in "rule of law" stuff, but hey, public ignorance of law is used to great advantage by the liars who overstep.
The US Constitution grants POTUS the power to pardon offenses against the United States. That's what is says.
The offense against the US that Flynn was charged with, lying to the FBI, is off the table. It has been withdrawn. He can;t be sentenced for that, there is nothing in that charge, to pardon.
The crooked trial judge is contemplating hitting Flynn with contempt. This is not an offense against the US. POTUS cannot pardon a contempt, any more than he can pardon an impeachment (which is a power of Congress).
I suppose the pardon talk is an okay way to bring public pressure, and it certainly stirs lots of debate about the merits and pitfalls of a pardon. But a pardon isn't going to happen, so whatever investment people may have in a quick pardon, is not a good investment.
Flynn will be fine. He is no longer charged with an offense against the US, and Sullivan won't hit him with contempt.
Meanwhile we get to see that the DC Circuit is a court of politics, not a court of law. And too, Sullivan's court. The judges bring dishonor on the courts, and it is fair that the people view the courts as "bad."
People should not tolerate bad institutions, but we do.
Nope. Cause this perverse dance can’t win.
Exactly! It is coming.
