The Constitution expressly grants the President pardon power. Anyone calling President Trump’s pardon of Michael Flynn an “abuse of power” is mistaken.

He's advancing an ongoing criminal conspiracy and can be charged for it. And fun fact: Unless Flynn completely repudiates and withdraws from the ongoing conspiracy and testifies, his liability can rise from the dead. My Lazarus Theory.

That’s a simple opinion from a simpleton. The Framers never envisioned a president pardoning someone who was a participant in the president’s own crime spree.

Wrong. He pardoned a traitor. That’s traitorous. That’s an abuse of power. You all abuse power. Woman haters.
Replying to @Jim_Jordan
Maybe so Rep. Jordan but the Trump will find out soon how grossly mistaken he was in pardoning Michael Flynn. Sing, sing, little birdie, sing.
Replying to @Jim_Jordan
Sure. Whatever. You can put all the lipstick you want on that pig but it’s still gonna be on the wrong side of shady.

no power granted to executive to cover his own arse via pardon of co conspirator.
Replying to @Jim_Jordan
You can’t abuse a power you don’t lawfully have. He has it, he abused it. While they legally CAN (unless it’s an overt act of a conspiracy) Presidents arent supposed to engage in pardons of cronies or corrupt pardons. That’s why Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich was a scandal.
