It's Official: Flynn Wants Exoneration, Not Pardon
That's the takeaway from an inteview with Flynn's lead attorney, Sidney Powell, according to Just the News . It's not exactly a bombshell revelation, although Powell has been somewhat cagey in that past:
Michael Flynn seeks total exoneration, not pardon, says his attorney
Sidney Powell says case could 'be over in a week' once 'altered 302' examined in DOJ review
Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn’s lawyer, Sidney Powell, told Just the News this week that she is seeking total exoneration of her client from the Department of Justice in a case that has dragged on for years.
“We don't want a pardon," she told the site's CEO John Solomon for his podcast John Solomon Reports. "We want an exoneration."
While emphasizing that her client wouldn’t dismiss the idea of accepting a pardon, Powell made clear that she and Flynn have set their sights higher.
“We want this case dismissed in the interest of justice,” she said.
For a person in Flynn's position, anything less than total exoneration has never made much sense. Of course, his guilty plea never made any sense at all, even in his difficult position.
As for the case being 'over in a week,' I'd be very unhappy if there was no aftermath, no payback involving Team Mueller.
