| #12 Rumors... There has been a gag order over Flynn. He's now free to talk. He was going to do full audits of the ABCs names of our intelligence community. He knows where the bodies are buried. Betting Trump knows that. |

| #11 Trump is not the kind of President that only pardons just turkeys at Thanksgiving. |

| #2 Judge Emmett Sullivan was successful in keeping this case on life support until after the election and the election was such a cock-up that Trump feels the need to pardon Flynn before Biden gets into the White House. If Biden is ever actually inaugurated, he will redouble DOJ efforts to put Flynn in jail. Trump should wait, though, until after all of his legal options are exhausted because it would be better for Flynn to be acquitted than pardoned. |
