Speculation of a pardon for Gen. Flynn began in May when the president praised him and said that he had been “tormented.”
“It looks to me like Michael Flynn would be exonerated based on everything I see,” he said. “I’m not the judge but I have a different type of power. But I don’t know that anybody would have to use that power. I think he’s exonerated.”
“They came at him with 15 buses and he’s standing in the middle of the highway. What they did to this man,” the president said. “They tormented him. They destroyed him. But he’s going to come back.”
The Justice Department has dropped the prosecution of Gen. Flynn but Judge Emmet Sullivan has continued to drag out the case, acting as if he is the prosecutor.
If the president pardons Gen. Flynn, which now appears likely, it would take all of the power away from Judge Sullivan and the general’s saga would be over.
