President Trump tells confidants he plans to pardon Michael Flynn
[AXIOS] President Trump has told confidants he plans to pardon his former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty in December 2017 to lying to the FBI about his Russian contacts, two sources with direct knowledge of the discussions tell Axios.

Behind the scenes: Sources with direct knowledge of the discussions said Flynn will be part of a series of pardons that Trump issues between now and when he leaves office.

#1 Anonymous sources -- utterly worthless.

#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.

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

#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.
