"General Flynn should t require a pardon.  He is an incent man.  Even FBI nts who interviewed General Flynn did t think he was lying.  Multiple investigations have produced evidence establishing that General Flynn was victim of partisan government officials engd in a coordinated attempt to subvert election of 2016", a White House statement re. 

"While today’s action sets right an injustice against an incent man and an American hero, it should also serve as a reminder to all of us that we must remain vigilant over those in whom we place our trust and confidence.  people who sit atop our intelligence and law enforcement ncies have tremendous power to affect lives of ir fellow citizens.  American people must always take care to scrutinize ir actions, to hold m accountable, and to ensure that y use ir immense power to uphold rule of law rar than to harass, persecute, and jail ir political opponents in pursuit of partisan political ndas," it ded.
