Trump Boosts Michael Flynn In Fresh Attack On Russia Probe

Source: Talking Points Memo

Just hours after commuting his longtime friend and former political adviser, Roger Stone, President Donald Trump on Saturday tweeted support for his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn.

The president claimed that “new documents” boosting Flynn who admitted to lying to the FBI amid the Russia probe had surfaced according to the conservative news network One America News.



While Trump has hinted at a pardon for Flynn in the past, some in the Trump camp are also calling to have the general join the president’s re-election campaign trail, nine sources confirmed to POLITICO.

Flynn has been embroiled in a long legal battle after admitting that he lied to the FBI during an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

Robert Mueller remains silent. And his report remains locked up in Barr's grubby little Republican hands.

FOUL. Exceedingly foul.

Of course, that's his main concern...always me, me, me.

I should think that if he does this, the courts will throw up their hands and stop giving him any consideration in future cases. He's making his own bed and it will be fun to see him forced to lie in it.

Lock him up.

that by pardoning Stone, who is arguable a co-conspirator, Trump has pardoned himself; the thought being the Constitution does not give the President the power to pardon himself. So it would be illegal/unConstitutional. Don't know where that's going if anywhere, just thought I'd float the thread.



Blackmail. Pure and simple.

Then why did Flynn plead guilty to lying to the FBI?

Both Flynn & Stone were linch pins in the Russian "rat fucking" of our 2016 elections
and Trump will keep 'em out of jail so they don't talk.

and it must be getting louder and louder. The traitor knows his time may be up and he'll no longer be able to free the rest of his fellow felons. Yep, like it was said already, I bet Manafort is next.
