President Donald Trump's pardon for Michael Flynn includes immunity from prosecution for any future charges, the Department of Justice revealed as it moved to dismiss the government's case against the former National Security Adviser.
The text of the pardon states that Flynn has immunity from any future charges stemming from the Mueller investigation into Russian influence on the 2016 election.
It protects him from 'any possible future perjury or contempt charge in connection with General Flynn's sworn statements and any other possible future charge that this Court or the court-appointed amicus has suggested might somehow keep this criminal case alive over the government's objection,' the Justice Department wrote in a filing released on Monday, according to CNN.

As far as I know, the only “sworn statements” Flynn has made related to his own guilty plea.
It doesn’t get any more pathetic than that. He gets a pardon for a crime he didn’t commit ... and the pardon has to include language that protects him from prosecution for stating under penalty of perjury that he DID commit that crime.
For all the General went through, Trump should give him blanket-immunity for life. This to run concurrently with the life-sentences for those responsible for the General’s treatment.

IOW you agree that the Mueller fiasco actually has merit?
Keep your “sympathy”.
Flynn himself gave the Mueller fiasco more merit than it ever deserved. Remember that as part of his plea deal Flynn was a cooperating witness in OTHER cases Mueller’s team was prosecuting.
Can President Trump do that for 74+ million of his voters? I expect democrats will use lawfare to attack all of us in an attempt to control us. And, if lawfare does not work to control us, I expect they will simply kill us using government agencies (fbi, cia, atf, state and local police).

Don’t forget his son was also threatened. Flynn was just protecting his son.
It also means that if Congress decides to haul him before a committee then he has to answer questions and can’t take advantage of the Fifth Amendment.
Bringing Flynn before Congress works two ways. He can say allot of things they don’t want to hear.
True.
I don’t know the specifics, but his son was in “trouble” which is why General Flynn originally pled guilty. I think President Trump needs to pardon his son as well regardless of guilt or innocent.
I don’t know that he actually testified in those cases. I thought he turned around and tried to vacate his plea deal to AVOID testifying in one of those cases in 2019.
Thank you. I was wrong. he didn’t testify in court against his partner. (Which was the reason for his sentencing delay requests.)
according to the feds, he only provided “assisted the investigation” in other cases, whatever that means.
see Mueller report on that.

I’ll sit down and shut up now.
You should have been Zotted years ago, troll.
Good for President Trump.
Now he needs to see if he can do the same for himself and his family... If democrats will cheat on this level to win - they’ll do anything to keep power.
Including murdering innocent Americans.
The judge that dragged out the Flynn case endlessly to prevent Flynn from serving in the Trump administration has now taken a case in Michigan filed by the NAACP that claims racism is involved in trying to investigate the voter fraud that took place there in the November election. Not exactly an impartial judge—he will do his part to prevent Trump from getting the Michigan electoral votes.
I would like to see how you would act if you were put in solitary confinement for Weissmann’s entertainment or their many psychopathic attacks.
The part where Flynn waived his right to see the evidence against him when he signed his plea deal.
There's no getting around the fact that this guy made the worst decision at almost every step of the process.
You should have been Zotted years ago, troll.
Maybe you should ask yourself why I HAVEN'T been zotted in all these 20 years I've been here, dude.
