It's not about Flynn

Ever wonder why Donnie Shit for Brains doesn't just pardon Flynn?

It sure as hell isn't because he's concerned about how it would look.

You seriously think the guy who accuses a 75 year old Christian peace activist of busting his own head, or gave a medal to Limbaugh, or says Skinheads are fine people cares about how pardoning Flynn looks?

No! There's a reason the Justice Dept is trying to get Flynn off.

It's to amplify and cement the practice of the Justice Dept prosecuting, investigating and trying people based on the Presidents demand.

It was never about Flynn.

It's about normalizing political prosecution's

I heard this from a talking head, on Washington Journal I think. He said that if Flynn were to be let off, that it would feed into the entire investigation into Russian interference in our 2016 election is a fraud, perpetuated by the Obama Deep State.

to a grand jury three times-- and that was AFTER they fired him with hours to go before he got his pension... for a quickly corrected infraction ("lying&quot in an administration that almost never tells the truth.

I think they're also trying to get good honest civil servants to quit, as a couple prosecutors did over the McCabe persecution.

And-- sometimes I think they want us to feel the horror and disorientation that comes from this corrupt pustule righteously persecuting loyal American workers. I'm not a big fan of the FBI, but obviously Trump isn't worthy to speak to someone like Andrew McCabe. And Mike Pompeo isn't worthy of being in the same room as the IG he just fired.

We're supposed to get the message-- it's all about power. Trump and his minions have the power to do the worst, and honor and patriotism and hard work rank as stupidity to them. They want us to know they honor nothing.
