Good morning, #PardonFlynnNow friends and foes, as the word of our movement gets out, the logic behind our mission seems to grow more and more important. That stated, the rest of this small thread comes an analysis I posted 29 June, 2019

1) There's a tiny hole in our constitution. There's a gigantic, gaping hole - a hellacious miscarriage of justice - in the practice of federal pardon by the Justice Department. The policy is 100% wrong in one key manner. On @GenFlynn's behalf, we'll parse this today.

@GenFlynn 2) In the constitution, there is just the slightest of passing references to this great power. It is in Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1: "and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment."

@GenFlynn 3) That's it. One of the greatest powers granted to any human on the face of the earth, and not even a full sentence worth of law written into our founding document. Amazing. I can share with you, now, what we got wrong. There is a single turn of phrase that would save the day.

@GenFlynn 4) Here is the needed, but missing, phrase: "or, in redressement of grievous miscarriages of justice to relieve the innocent." If that phrase were in our constitution as it should be, there'd be no confusion on the matter. I call it the principle of Pardon by Innocence.

@GenFlynn Conclusion: please remember the small change needed to follow our purpose:

"or, in redressement of grievous miscarriages of justice to relieve the innocent."

We believe the best possible thing our @POTUS could do would be, on that basis to...

#PardonFlynnNow

@GenFlynn @POTUS P.S. In rereading it myself just now, I realize I need to add a new hashtag:
