A presidential pardon will not stop Justice. That is why Mueller has been working with state AG's.
Its a great day in America.

(12,344 posts)In fact, you can't plead the fifth anymore. Pardon is Trump's only bargaining chip, but then he would have to trust Flynn not to spill the beans anyway. Trump doesn't trust anyone. And he stopped paying Flynn's legal bills, so what do you think Flynn thinks of Trump now?
unless Maggot Jr. is indicted or Kushner will he hit pardon.
I think he will start firing people soon. Then shit hits the fan...............

If Trump dangled the promise of a pardon in front of Flynn, it would have been on the understanding that Flynn would keep his mouth shut.
To pardon him after-the-fact of his testimony would have no benefit for Trump - the damage will already have been done. And we know how Trump feels about "disloyalty" ...
