House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler have expressed their utter fury at President Trump’s decision to pardon former national security adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.
“Donald Trump has repeatedly abused the pardon power to reward friends and protect those who covered up for him,” Schiff fumed on Twitter. “This time he pardons Michael Flynn, who lied to hide his dealings with the Russians. It’s no surprise that Trump would go out as he came in — Crooked to the end.”

In a separate statement, Nadler angrily declared that Flynn’s pardon was “undeserved, unprincipled, and one more stain on President Trump’s rapidly diminishing legacy.”
Breitbart.com reports: Earlier Wednesday, President Trump confirmed reports that he would grant a pardon to Flynn. In a tweet, the president congratulated his former top national security aide and his family. “I know you will now have a truly fantastic Thanksgiving!” he said.
Flynn pleaded guilty in December 2017 to making false statements to the FBI regarding his contacts with then-Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak during President Trump’s transition. The longtime military man later withdrew his plea, after it was revealed the DOJ had withheld exculpatory evidence.
The pardon is the final step in a case defined by twists and turns over the last year after the Justice Department abruptly move to dismiss the case, insisting that Flynn should have never been interviewed by the FBI in the first place, only to have U.S. District Justice Emmet Sullivan refuse the request and appoint a former judge to argue against the federal government’s position.
In the months since, a three-judge panel’s decision ordering Sullivan to dismiss the case was overturned by the full appeals court, which sent the matter back to Sullivan. At a hearing in September, Flynn lawyer Sidney Powell told the judge that she had discussed the Flynn case with Trump but also said she did not want a pardon — presumably because she wanted him to be vindicated in the courts.

They should be under arrest and under investigation!

Barack Obimbo pardoned 1427 convicted criminals, more than all other previous presidents combined.
Barack Obimbo’s outrageous pardon of 1427 Democrat-Neocon criminals garnered not a single peep from tweedle-pencil-neck-Jew nor from tweedle-fatazz-Jew.
In comparison, Trump has pardoned only 25 felons.
