Meanwhile his supporters will be cheering for it.

It seems at times like the Republicans are in a desperate "race to the bottom" in terms of standards of behaviour and decency. (*nods to Sad Kangaroo, who has mentioned this in a few threads*.)

Frame it as "draining the swamp" (which they don't do), or "upsetting the global elitists", and their supporters are all over it like a cheap suit.

Sad.

Sad.

Story's like this are often politically motivated, these surface all the time. They often quote "unnamed sources" and missing missing details - so they can't be checked.

Trump has pardoned several people but their all broke, so where's the payoff?

I wish he would pardon Assange and Snowdon.

Here's the thing.

"If" he did, that would definitely fit the Trump "anti-establishment" narrative he and his supporters have been running with.

It's all well and good to pardon (or to consider preemptively pardoning) people who've worked in your administration/lied to the FBI etc...

But it's another thing entirely to pardon people who've done the right thing by the "many", by exposing malfeasance on the part of the Government of the day (and by extension causing embarrassment to that Government.)

I'd be willing to bet he'll pardon neither of them.

(That said, I'd be happy to be wrong).

If Mr Trump did that, Rich, it'd be the first pardon he didn't have a personal stake in.

Don't hold your breath though. What's in it for Dear Leader?

Assange needs to be the first, given the shocking way this whislteblower has been treated by the corruptocrats. You Ozzies should support such a move - he's a very good man and you should be proud.

Obama punished more whitleblowers than the total of former Presidents together and many extrajudicial killings. However, he's a Democrat and darling of the elite, so he can do no wrong.

General Flynn should never have been harassed the way he has and Trump did the right thing. His was a process crime - he made a mistake and purely political. He knew too much about the previous administration, harassing him on a phony charge silenced him.

It was right to do what Trump did. Trump does what his conscience tells him - do you understand?

Trump is a very fine man and a great President. People can't handle the truth - they go nuts as we have just seen.

Rich, Mr Trump is the first prez to run simply to get more Twitter followers and enhance his own personal brand. Not only did Mr Trump have no intention of winning, he had no intention of doing anything for anybody else - ever. That goes against everything Mr Trump stands for.

You?

In Flynn's case, the pay off might well be the ongoing silence of Flynn and things like his current outburst to have Trump declare martial law, suspend the Constitution and have another election so that this time round, Humpty get to declare himself the winner. Neat huh?

There is currently a challenge to Flynn's pardon, will be interesting to see what happens.

Just goes to show what a lousy National Security Advisor Flynn would have made.

The generals hate Trump. They're hardly going to destroy their careers for a guy who calls them chumps, suckers, losers and shit's on the grave of their old Republican Washington friend, John McCain.

They'd commit hari kari before they did that.

Sure, but what's the point? Flynn already confessed and pleaded guilty. Flynn's already on the nose with any Washington lobbying or defence-contracting firm with an ethics charter and a board who'd sign off on hiring him.

The Deep State is out for Flynn. He's left with the bottom-feeders - political dirty tricks/fake-news consultancies run by guys like Roger Stone and Steve Bannon.

Flynn never expected to end up in such an ignominious sunset to his stellar political career, but that's where Trump loyalists tend to end up. A pardon's hardly going to change that.
