My personal problem with that is that a pardon assumes guilt. The evidence and even the prosecution agree he's innocent. It would be unfortunate to have to settle for that, but that's DEFINITELY what the judiciary and the opposition want Trump to do. But you're right that it would allow other things to start quickly, and I'm in favor of that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, we have the "but he plead guilty!" crowd here while they completely ignore the lies by the feds and withholding of evidence (I won't even go into his former attorneys being in on it). I am sure the "msm" would dial it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's also a window for people to see through the partisanship (if they're able) and see what an actual miscarriage of justice looks like in real time. One of the biggest motivators to the Trump base has been Flynn's mistreatment. I'm not sure how many more will come out to vote because of it, since most of those folks would crawl over broken glass to vote as is, but here's to hoping. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 My 11th grade (US History) Social Studies teacher did a good job. That was the year of the Watergate hearings. That spring she wrote a section odf the Constitution on the board and would explain what it meant. When the hearings started, she told us to watch the news (no cable or VCRs yet) and would explain what parts of the Constitution pertained to what had happenedyjr day before. We understood very clearly what happened all summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If FISA court abuses, circular reporting, collusion with MSM and the FBI crushing citizens doesn’t cause you to think “Wait, what if this happened to me?”, what do they care if Flynn got kneecapped? When I questioned another poster about the failure of the MSM (WaPo specifically) with respect to Russia/Herr Muëllër, and the spectacular failure of their vaunted anonymous sources, his reply was basically that they had a bad day and just missed it. I think Flynn to many is disposable, a throw away. 7 hours ago, Deranged Rhino said: I keep thinking he cannot possibly appear to be older and more out of touch than the last time he appeared old and out of touch, but he one ups himself every time. 50 years in the public eye and he doesn’t understand delay?

I believe it should have been dealt with swiftly. The evidence has been there all along, and if it got bloody and some of these people had to die, oh well. These are the worst people on the planet and what they have done to this country is a threat to the entire world. They can not be allowed to win and the longer it goes on the better their chances are. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is this goes one step further than that. I can understand non-interested folks not really paying attention to politics and something like the Russia hoax. People are busy and you outlined one of the reasons people dont bother. I'm talking about people who care enough to be engaged but believe it's 100% appropriate to weaponize intelligence, f around with FISA, and oust a president they disagree with. We've all engaged with these people before, and these were the same people lead around by the nose screaming "Worse than watergate!" when Obama started the scam and never understanding it was, they just had the wrong perspective.
