    Hey weird Michael Flynn lied to the FBI about a Trump legal matter, got caught, but got pardoned.

    And so did George Papadapoulos.

    And so did Alex van Der Zwaan.

    And so did Roger Stone.

    And so did Paul Manafort.

    Weird coincidence.

      Having watched all of that, I’ve reached the conclusion that we really ought to have a constitutional amendment that changes the nature of presidential pardons, moving them to an appointed commission and out of the president’s own hands.
