re: #170 jaunte

“any and all possible offenses arising from the facts set forth … or that might arise, or be charged, claimed or asserted”

How is that legal?

Presidential pardon powers are unlimited. He can do this. The problem is as Barr asserted at his confirmation hearing that to give Flynn a pardon would be furthering Trump’s crime - the coverup of said crimes. This opens the door to prosecuting them on those grounds. The coverup is a fresh set of crimes. The pardon was coordinated with Flynn and his criminal conduct to cover up Trump’s ongoing malfeasance.
