Trump may pardon him anyway. He belongs in jail.
Those who claim Flynn was "set up" need to answer this question: how did anything the FBI may or may not have done cause the national security advisor of the US to lie to FBI agents and lie to DOJ about his work for Turkey? #MichaelFlynn @PostOpinions https://t.co/WLiYqce8Rs

The FBI Didn’t Frame Michael Flynn. That’s Just Trump’s Excuse for a Prospective Pardon. https://t.co/Fo3qypPgXe

Kellyanne Conway lies through her teeth on Fox News, claims newly released Michael Flynn documents show Flynn was "set up." This is not true. All they show is that top FBI officials knew Flynn had likely broken the law even before they interviewed him https://t.co/cnyt788opE pic.twitter.com/LSzJaTaoVl

Is Flynn victim of a political attack launched through an unconstitutional 18th century law? Or did he enter into a plea deal against the backdrop of much wider criminal behavior? The evidence still suggests the latter scenario is closer to the truth. https://t.co/d0b8aDyDh4

“Flynn’s lawyer says new documents show that Flynn was 'set up' by the FBI. In fact, they show no such thing. But they may provide a flimsy excuse for a pardon,” writes @BarbMcQuade. https://t.co/MSoe7rMlEW

Pres says he may not have to pardon Gen Flynn because he'll be exonerated of charges against him due to FBI misconduct reflected in unsealed documents, which Pres calls "just disgraceful." And says he "would certainly consider" bringing Flynn back into the Administration.

Flynn was compromised, because Russia knew he had lied and therefore had leverage over him. As the NSA, he was in a position to make decisions against the interests of the U.S. Sally Yates recommended the WH remove him. The FBI’s goal is to neutralize threats against the U.S. https://t.co/IgxpC3Hfm3

Did a big parse of Flynn docs:

1. They had a good idea he'd lie, cuz he already had
2. Getting someone to lie isn't a "perjury trap" if you had legit evidence (which they did)
3. On talk about getting him fired: Remember they worried he was compromisedhttps://t.co/dl0B8YnUH8
No one made Flynn lie. https://t.co/dShWatGCbm
