1) Let's talk about about the #PardonFlynnNow mission again, today. One of the President's greatest legal powers is that of pardon or commutation. Recently, @POTUS was about to commute Rod Blagojevich's sentence, until persuaded not to by his advisors.

@POTUS 2) What are the pieces here? After Obama went to DC, Blogo "sold" Obama's seat in the Illinois State Legislature. I'm not really even sure that's a crime. The court did, and sentenced him to 14 years for this hellacious evil. All of America sleeps easy at night now, no doubt.

@POTUS 3) So, why might @POTUS even consider a commutation of that obviously righteous sentence? 14 years? For the exact same type of corruption that happens every day and everyone looks the other way? It's not proportionate. The reason for the 14 years is Obama.

@POTUS 4) You do NOT get to mess with Obama. He controls the court system and he will wipe you out. Personally, I'd have agreed with a 14 month sentence, no problem. Clearly, Blago's no boy scout. But 14 years? Nope. You're not allowed to mess with Obama. So there.

@POTUS 5) Yet Blago is just a pawn on the board. I haven't been able to decide fully wither @GenFlynn is a Rook or a Bishop. The real reason, I believe, why Trump's advisors advised against Blago's commutation, is Flynn's gag order. Work with me now, why would that be?

@POTUS @GenFlynn 6) When you're an advisor to the King, whoops, I mean President, the ONLY thing you care about is your own power, nothing else. And the last thing you can tolerate is competent people, with more intelligence and capability than yourself, more spine and strength, oh no.

@POTUS @GenFlynn 7) Back to Blago. I will NOT start or champion a Free Blago Now hashtag movement. He simply has no such value to America Herself. He's a corrupt Illinois politician, period. So, we can let him suffer and I won't take up the mission, that's for sure. The advisors know that.

@POTUS @GenFlynn 8) Yet, his sentence is wrong, and it makes Obama happy. That's why Trump considered the commutation. But, my judgment is that Trump does not realize his advisors are out for Flynn every bit as much as the Obama team was. That, at any rate, is my theory.

@POTUS @GenFlynn 9) My theory can be easily wrong. It's possible the advisors have other reasons against the commutation of Blogo's sentence, and against removing Gen Flynn's gag. Yet, I state simply and clearly, I do not trust them, Trump's advisors. Why is Flynn still gagged? It isn't right.

@POTUS @GenFlynn 10) So that's our mission. We have to get the gag order removed. But we have no legal power, so how might we do this? By power of petition. We have the right to petition the highest leader, the greatest power in our land, and in the world. We have the right of petition.

@POTUS @GenFlynn 11) So, I say, let's use it. Let's petition, long and strong and loud and clear. Give us back our hero. Give us back his voice. Let us have the leader we need, one who 100% supports our President, but one who can rally us where our President cannot reach. We need Flynn back.

@POTUS @GenFlynn 12) The advisors are certainly advising against us. The last thing they want is @GenFlynn back in power. Yet the advisors are often wrong. Linger on that. Then, join me in utilizing our hashtag. Please, Mr. @POTUS...

#PardonFlynnNow

@POTUS @GenFlynn CORRECTION: It was NOT the State Legislature seat, is was the High House of the American Congress, the Illinois Senate seat, one of two, that Blago had in hand. His power was to appoint a Senator...to Congress. What a power. Unless I'm wrong still. Looking for guidance!
