President Donald Trump said Sunday that he is considering pardoning former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI during its investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election. He however lashed out at the corrupt FBI and DOJ for destroying his life and the life of his family.
He also tweeted that the FBI, working in conjunction with the Justice Department, has ‘lost’ the records of General Michael Flynn.
The tweet from Trump came as the country as officials work to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus in the midst of a national emergency, with schools, businesses and other institutions shutting down.
The FBI ‘lost’ the original 302 summary report on the ambush interview with Flynn and altered the 302 report currently in his file.
So now it is reported that, after destroying his life & the life of his wonderful family (and many others also), the FBI, working in conjunction with the Justice Department, has “lost” the records of General Michael Flynn. How convenient. I am strongly considering a Full Pardon!

He has been wrongly railroaded and crucified by the corrupt DOJ, FBI and the DNC since the beginning. He was also asked to withdraw his guilty plea in January and accused federal prosecutors of “egregious government misconduct.”
Flynn pleaded guilty in December 2017 to lying to the FBI about his contacts with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition. But in a reversal two months ago, he asked a federal judge for permission to withdraw his plea, alleging that prosecutors breached his cooperation agreement by demanding false testimony.
