Personally I think it is a mistake to Pardon Flynn, as a pardon means admission of guilt.
However, the fact that POTUS had to pardon him, probably means it was necessary for something.
Curious to see what Flynn does now.
How is wanting Flynn to be cleared of all charges clownish?
Look up pardons dumbass, they have admission of guilt built in to them. It would have been much better for his record, for optics to have been exonerated.
The fucking courts were running the clock on him, so Potus decided he had to move for some reason.
