Trump just granted a full pardon to Michael Flynn. And so it begins. Who knows what other deplorable pieces of shit will be pardoned between now and January 20?
It is my Great Honor to announce that General Michael T. Flynn has been granted a Full Pardon. Congratulations to @GenFlynn
and his wonderful family, I know you will now have a truly fantastic Thanksgiving!

Can't argue the legality and likely overturned. My statement is they tried to do this and again, I'm sorry we just nonchalantly don't care. IF this gets stuck up as in the article it will make the funds almost impossible to touch by the nest Treasure Secretary.

Almost all the Trump shitters believe Flynn was framed, so it will be cheered. As far as people on the other side we just eat our shit and like it.
Pretty amazing that an American President will/can pardon someone who was implicated in his administration and possible contact with a foreign entity to collude on an American President.
Democrats are the best! I will never ever question a Democrat again. I LOVE the Democrats!

I would guess that most of these last minute scorched earth policies by Trump are going to be reversable when Biden officially arrives. For right now, Biden and his ridiculously experienced advisers and experts know exactly where to push buttons and pull levers to fatally delay or outright halt the Insane Death Cult Leader's machinations.

I'm wondering if he's going to pardon his immediate family, Nixon-esque style.
I think it's extremely likely that he does, though he'll probably wait until right before January 20 to do so, just to cover any bullshit they might be pulling as we speak.
To me the only question is whether he will try to pardon himself, and what kind of constitutional crisis that would set off.

That would be an interesting move. She would still be available for subpoena and would more than likely face state charges. But yeah, she also probably has dirt on Trump - will be fun to watch.

I would not be surprised if the federal charges omitted certain actions/crimes that could be covered by state charges, just for this eventuality.
Murder is federal if the murder is a cop or a few other scenarios, but overall yes, he can only pardon federal and not state. A governor can pardon for a state crime. So even if he pardoned himself and that held up, he's not free of the criminal charges the DA of Manhattan is going after him for.
