“Looks like Mike Flynn may be doubling down on a presidential pardon... new lawyer with pro-Trump/anti-Mueller bona fides.” Time to ask about potential state charges and pardons that aren’t “faithful execution” of the office.

2/ Mueller’s strategy preserved state charges against Flynn in case of a pardon:

3/ See @WSJ:
“Flynn and his son allegedly discussed a scheme in which they would receive up to $15 million for taking part in an extradition scheme of cleric Gülen. These allegations could be grounds for charges of conspiracy to kidnap/assault.” *State* charges w/o double jeop.
4/ Pardons of co-conspirators in return for silence is quid pro quo bribery, and arguably might be invalid as faithless execution of office. Ethan Leib and I addressed unfaithful pardons in detail here:

5/ More historical research, hot off the presses from @HarvLRev, on “faithful execution” with @andrewkent33 and Leib here:
