I've encountered much righteous and rightful resistance from those who, rather than request that @POTUS to #PardonFlynnNow. The argument - and it's a good one - is always that Pardon indicates guilt and full exoneration may still occur. I will respond more below.

How many remember the old days when, after family dinner was finished, we asked to be excused from the table? We might ask to be pardoned. And, does anyone remember a parent saying just that, "You're pardoned."? To those who do, surely there was no guilt entailed!

Have any of you approached a line, a queue, and needing to get through requested permission of entry, not to cut in line, but simply to pass through? Might you not request, "Pardon me, may I pass through, please?" In this case, again, the word "pardon" has no guilt attached.

I believe it may help if we state our request in the following, guilt-free format:

@POTUS, please Sir, #PardonFlynnNow from this false prosecution.

As I see it, this false prosecution is an illegal endeavor. It is the false prosecution from which our hero must be pardoned. There is no wrong doing. His plea was simply coerced by an illegal operation. He should be excused, pardoned to leave this horrible thing behind.

One of my ultimate, most favored qualifiers that I love to state is that I may be wrong. I always mean it. I never assume I cannot be wrong. This truly may be such a moment. Perhaps @GenFlynn will be cleared by some other means, and if so, I'll be dancing in the streets.

Yet, I may also be right. And in any case, I don't trust the system to correct its own wrongs. That, I believe is the spirit of the law of Presidential Pardons, one of the most unlimited powers extant in our constitutional republic. I simply wish to add, Pardon By Innocence.

Be it a Principle or a Doctrine, it is my request that we, as a people, come together to redress the near infinite injustice of this situation. That's why I call for the addition of Pardon By Innocence to be included in Presidential Pardon Doctrine.

Descending, however, from the lofty clouds of doctrine to the dirty domain of practical reality. Our hero is suffering. It must end. Now. Me, I feel like I can't stand one more minute of his suffering, and that we can't be so clean-nailed picky about how it's done.

So, until our hero is exonerated by some other mechanism first, I will continue to shout my request at the top of my lungs, and continuously.

@POTUS, please Sir, #PardonFlynnNow from this false prosecution.
