A pardon like this means Trump's up to something.

If a President is on his way out, it usually means they'll save pardons like these for the last week before January 20th.

Let’s not forget he was former head of Defense Intelligence and then DNI. This dude knows the IC. He knows the ins and outs of whatever they’ve done to steal elections. I wonder if being under federal prosecution somehow inhibited his access to classified info? Maybe he needed to pardon so Flynn can become fully engaged in saving the election.

Yes.

Keeping him tied up in courts has been preventing him from doing things.

His book and following other stuff has led me to that conclusion.

now the chains are broken

Perhaps freeing up legal resources?

It let's Sidney Powell focus more on her case, and it frees up Flynn to take up a new position. Flynn was his first national security advisor before the feds hit him.

Flynn also very well might know where the bodies are buried.

Can he serve now that he’s been pardoned? How does he maximize his vengeance here

A president or governor may grant a full (unconditional) pardon or a conditional pardon. The granting of an unconditional pardon fully restores an individual's civil rights forfeited upon conviction of a crime and restores the person's innocence as though he or she had never committed a crime. This means that a recipient of a pardon may regain the right to vote and to hold various positions of public trust.

RESTORES THE PERSON'S INNOCENCE AS THOUGH HE OR SHE HAD NEVER COMMITTED A CRIME

Let's hope he knows a good spot to stick a few more.

This really might be the case. If so, Flynn has given even more than he already has to this Great Nation. Thank God for men like Flynn, President Trump; and women like Powell!

Or the very last day, like when Bill Clinton pardoned the violent Weather Underground terrorist who's currently running the finances for BLM

Exactly, this will get covered by the media now. That’s probably part of the reasoning. I guess this Free’s him up to take a new position
