Flynn pleaded guilty twice to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia. This shows the kind of damage this President can do in his final days in office and demonstrates the need to pass my H.J. Res. 8, which would prohibit any President from granting a pardon or reprieve to himself or herself, to certain members of a President's family, to members of the President's administration, or to paid employees of the President's presidential campaign. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
