    Flynn charged only with low-level 1001 count may have to do (in part) with pardons-- if Trump pardons him (or Flynn fails to follow through on the deal) there are lots of charges to come back with. @jessewegman @matthewamiller @chrisgeidner

        Yes, folks, I know (as does Mark) that Trump could issue a more broad pardon than just these charged offenses. I’ve asked him what he’s getting at there with that.

        Some commenters are right-- Trump could give Flynn a "general" pardon. But (1) Mueller has already gotten value out of Flynn at this point, and (2) a general pardon requires more of Trump's limited political capital.

        Pardoning Flynn could backfire on Trump, b/c it wd eliminate Flynn's ability to avoid compelled testimony.

        Why is this the case? Can you only pardon someone once?

        Sure & unstated agreement likely excludes crimes & potential crimes committed outside of federal district DC & may exclude financial or foreign crimes reported in press.

        I’m sure they have state charges lined up. They not Trump is irrational. This is just the bait. They’re playing chess

        Can’t Trump pardon him for any past crime? A la Nixon’s pardon.

        Agreement precludes additional charges. Of course if pardoned but doesn't testify then I guess agreement is off.
