Sources said Flynn is just one of the people Trump considers for pardons. If Trump pardons Flynn, Flynn may be fully released from the courts and the Justice Department.
Flynn was Trump’s first national security adviser. Since Trump took office, the Democratic Party has launched more than three years of investigations into Russia, and the Flynn case has also seen twists and turns.
If Trump pardons Flynn, it will be a historic step during Trump’s four-year term; because the Flynn case started at the beginning of Trump’s first term and eventually ended Trump’s first term. The FBI investigation into the collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government during the 2016 election has been shown to be false.
Many Trump supporters view the retired Flynn as a victim of political retaliation by the Obama administration.
Flynn’s attorney, Sidney Powell, and members of the conservative media accused the FBI of trapping Flynn and used his case as a basis to further expand the scope of the Russian investigation.
Flynn’s attorney, Powell, said at a hearing in September that he had recently discussed the case with President Trump and asked the president not to forgive Flynn. Because Powell was confident, Flynn was able to exonerate.
Flynn’s brother tweeted Tuesday night: “No forgiveness. (Sullivan’s) case was dismissed and it’s over.”
Fox News legal and political analyst Gregg Jarrett said Flynn still “doesn’t want to be forgiven. But it is” obvious “that Federal Judge Sullivan is trying to take the case to Biden. Then Trump should consider forgiving.” .
Introduction to the Flynn case
In 2017, Flynn admitted to the FBI about the dialogue with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak during the investigation of “Tong Russia” by special counsel Robert Mueller. The agent lied and was later sued by the Ministry of Justice.
As part of the plea deal at the time, Flynn agreed to cooperate with the government. Subsequently, Flynn changed lawyers and tactics, arguing that the prosecutor in the case violated his rights, leading him to admit that he lied about the conversation with the then Russian ambassador to Washington in December 2016.
The Justice Department denied Flynn’s embezzlement allegations against Mueller’s team. Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan dismissed Flynn’s new allegations in December 2019 and set an end date for the case.
Subsequently, Flynn filed a motion to withdraw his guilty plea to the court.
United States Attorney General William Barr appointed the Supreme United States Attorney in St. Louis in February 2020 to retry the Flynn case.
Handwritten interrogation notes provided by the FBI to exposed Flynn’s attorneys in late April showed that the FBI had “deliberately tried to induce Flynn, the then national security adviser, to lie so that he could be prosecuted or fired. “. This news almost completely reversed the basis for Mueller’s past accusations against Flynn.
The top federal prosecutor in charge of reviewing the case recommended that Flynn’s allegations be dropped, and the FBI interview that Flynn lied was “conducted without any legal basis for the investigation.”
But Federal Judge Sullivan did not immediately agree to dismiss the charges, instead asking outside legal experts to evaluate this unusual case.
Flynn’s attorneys filed an urgent motion to compel Judge Sullivan to comply with the US Department of Justice’s decision.
In August, attorney Flynn sued Sullivan in appeals court.
