Does anyone else see POTUS pardoning Flynn as a bad sign?
If they are confident they are going to win why pardon him now, which would mean he would no longer be eligible to serve.

I could be wrong, but I believe accepting a pardon is considered an admission of guilt.

Legal authorities, then, are split on the subject of how the law should understand pardons; but because some pardons are understood as being based on the pardoned person’s factual innocence, I doubt that any judge today would genuinely view acceptance of pardon as always being an admission of guilt. And my sense (though I realize that it might be mistaken) is that most people’s moral judgment today would be that, even if a pardon is offered just as a gesture of mercy and not as exoneration, the recipient may honorably accept it even if they continue to deny their factual guilt or their moral guilt.
