Dear editor
As promised today, President Trump granted Micheal Flynn a full pardon. Wait, wait, don’t tell me! Was he not the same White House official about who Trump once tweeted: “I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI.” Flynn has pleaded guilty to those lies about his contacts with the Russian ambassador to the United States during the presidential transition period.”
It has been reported that Ret. Gen. Flynn and his son Michael Flynn, Jr. were involved in a plot to kidnap a Muslim cleric living in the US and deliver him to the Turkish government for a $15 million fee During his time in office as Trump’s first national security advisor, which last only 14 days, Flynn has the audacity to call the entire Islamic religion a “vicious cancer” in the body of 1.8 billion people on this planet.
I am old enough to remember the 1985 Iran-Contra Scandal when President Ronald Regan then pardoned Lt. Col. Oliver North for taking the bullet for him. In other words, your loyalty to your boss will be rewarded. That is the way it goes in politics. Trump’s message to America is, “You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.” My two cents on the subject is: What Gen. Flynn did was treasonous and treason should not be rewarded!
