When The FBI Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal

A pardon for the ages.

Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Grant of Clemency granting a Full Pardon to General Michael T. Flynn. The President has pardoned General Flynn because he should never have been prosecuted. An independent review of General Flynn’s case by the Department of Justice—conducted by respected career professionals—supports this conclusion. In fact, the Department of Justice has firmly concluded that the charges against General Flynn should be dropped. This Full Pardon achieves that objective, finally bringing to an end the relentless, partisan pursuit of an innocent man.
 
General Flynn should not require a pardon. He is an innocent man. Even the FBI agents who interviewed General Flynn did not think he was lying. Multiple investigations have produced evidence establishing that General Flynn was the victim of partisan government officials engaged in a coordinated attempt to subvert the election of 2016. These individuals sought to prevent Donald Trump from being elected to the Presidency, to block him from assuming that office upon his election, to remove him from office after his inauguration, and to undermine his Administration at every turn.
 
The prosecution of General Flynn is yet another reminder of something that has long been clear: After the 2016 election, individuals within the outgoing administration refused to accept the choice the American people had made at the ballot box and worked to undermine the peaceful transition of power. These efforts were enabled by a complicit media that willingly published falsehoods and hid inconvenient facts from public view, including with respect to General Flynn. They amounted to a brazen assault on our democracy and a direct attack on our fundamental political values.
 
While today’s action sets right an injustice against an innocent man and an American hero, it should also serve as a reminder to all of us that we must remain vigilant over those in whom we place our trust and confidence. The people who sit atop our intelligence and law enforcement agencies have tremendous power to affect the lives of their fellow citizens. The American people must always take care to scrutinize their actions, to hold them accountable, and to ensure that they use their immense power to uphold the rule of law rather than to harass, persecute, and jail their political opponents in pursuit of partisan political agendas.
 
Happy Thanksgiving to General Flynn and his family, and thank you all for your great service to our Nation!

    1. Yes, and it should be a reality knowing what we now know about the alphabet of US law enforcement agencies. Crooked bastards each and every one.

      1. “knowing what we now know”

        We knew it then too. At least the people who cared to know did know.
        It’s time to stop trusting the Government.

        GOVERNMENT=THEFT

    2. Sundance has long suspected that the indictment against Assange was executed by the coup plotters to keep Assange out of the USA and anything he knows buried under clouds of suspicion, especially about the 2016 DNC hack. It would be an intriguing pardon if Trump does it.

  1. Oz – my husband and I have been watching David Knight’s show on ‘Infowars.’ The BEST source of information and analysis we’ve come upon. He knows his history. When you see the rubbish that passes for news on the alphabet networks, Knight’s show is a breath of fresh air.

  2. and there were those in here who thought Snowden should have been prosecuted, and other who thought META data were useless and harmless, while it can be used to glean a shit load of information, especially if run through a program designed to connect the dots, and so is also worth trillions to the big business types.

  3. … annnnnddd … BOOM! goes the dynamite! The seditious attempted coup against President Donald J Trump and the VOTE of the People continues to blow up in the faces of the perpetraitors. Flynn was set-up for a FAKE prosecution (read: persecution), and the whole sordid trail of lies and deception were laid bare (in large part by Sidney Powell) . Now … the pathetic left are resorting to character assassination (Flynn admitted he “lied” … Sidney Powell is a whacko Q-anon conspiracy theorist). It’s what the left does … it’s part of their mutual mastabutory character.

    And from what I read, Gen. Flynn is coordinating the investigation of institutional vote fraud … the final leftist coup attempt and theft of The People’s TRUE vote. Flynn is using his Intelligence experience and knowledge to take down the illicit, unconstitutional conduct by our vaunted … “17 Intelligence Agencies”. Now the left are crapping their pants. So much so that they are dragging out Obama to calm the upcoming tempest. Failing to understand the majority of Americans are disgusted by the sight and sound of the utterly FAILED former President. He FAILED to improve the life of middle class black Americans … and instead, expanded wealth disparity to the greatest gulf in American history.

  4. The political implications aside no one should be surprised at FBI dishonesty and duplicity here. They tried to do the same thing to Richard Jewell and locally to some California bikers in the Sund-Peloso murders that occurred in Yosemite National Park.

  5. “Judge” Sullivan should be impeached. It’s a disgrace it had to come to this. Unbelievable.

    Glad he was pardoned.
