Hey weird Michael Flynn lied to the FBI about a Trump legal matter, got caught, but got pardoned.
And so did George Papadapoulos.
And so did Alex van Der Zwaan.
And so did Roger Stone.
And so did Paul Manafort.
Weird coincidence.

MODERATORS
Having watched all of that, I've reached the conclusion that we really ought to have a constitutional amendment that changes the nature of presidential pardons, moving them to an appointed commission and out of the president's own hands.
Or at least a combination. You can leave the power with the president and just add oversight approval.
Ir even explicitly forbid pardoning crimes which the court declares the president directly benefitted from, and/or people they had been directly involved with prior to/during the crime
Which court? The Supreme Court? If not, then who would appoint the judges?
Witness tampering. Spicy.
Collusion, witness tampering, RICO act (willing participant), and bribery at the very least. Hope he has emails or voice recordings.
That is tantamount to conspiracy
The corruption is so blatant.
Mango Mussolini and Vlad level BS.
