Feeling stupid about Flynn pardon
posted ago by KingMoonRacer +22 / -0

I was wracking my brain wondering “Why now?” Flynn has been dragged through the mud for many years now. It’s been a horrible ordeal. Why pardon now?

Then I realized the court case had been cover for certain attorney to work in DC in the year leading up to the election.

So the timing likely has more to do with the Kraken than with Thanksgiving.

I am happy Flynn has been pardoned and is free to take the helms, but would have been sweeter if they managed to defeat the Judge directly. I know that will happen - most probably he will go away for corruption, and I think Trump needed to pick his battles carefully in this time. Be prepared for smearing by the left about this in all ways.

Just "No."

It's awesome that Flynn has been pardoned, but:

  1. It would have been better for the country and the parties concerned if the case had been dismissed.
  2. If you look at all the filings Ms. Powell made in the Flynn case, and factor in the amount of reading, processing and investigation time, it is pretty much impossible that Ms. Powell could have been working on anyrhi g else.

I would buy the idea that Gen. Flynn has been pardoned in order to free up Ms. Powell's time to focus on the election litigation.

Agree on point 1.

I ask you to consider the possibility that ostensible goal (for the good of the country) was perfect cover.

Regarding point 2: attorneys have teams working under them. When it became clear that Sullivan was going to stall, it would have been a waste of time to argue with that brick wall. Sullivan was never going to let the case progress and he was never going to dismiss it either.
