A federal appeals court has denied former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn’s request to force Judge Emmet G. Sullivan to dismiss his case after the Department of Justice requested that the case be dismissed based on evidence obtained by Justice Department investigators revealing Flynn’s innocence in the matter.It was an eight to two decision that will basically give Sullivan time to debate the ability to question whether or not the decision to dismiss the case by the Justice Department under Attorney General William Barr was political. This decision reverses an earlier ruling by a three-judge panel in the same court that ordered the judge to immediately dismiss Flynn’s case.
The tragedy, however, of the action taken Monday by the court will not only harm Flynn and his family – it tramples on his right to have a speedy trial and gives Sullivan the authority to operate as a prosecutor and not a judge. President Donald Trump has hinted that he would immediately pardon Flynn but has stayed out of the situation in an effort to have justice through the courts.

I agree the persecution of Flynn, Page, and all the rest is despicable but IMHO I do not think it is wise for Trump to Pardon any of them before the November Election .
It does not matter one little bit that Flynn is being unjustly prosecuted, the Pardon must wait .
On another note, Manafort should never be pardoned but perhaps just before Xmas Trump should commutate the Sentence . Manafort was guilty of not reporting Taxable Income/Benefits and that is against the law unless you are a Senior Democrat, Manafort will need to wear that one, he created his own problems .
In fact Manaforts crimes are far less serious than the literally hundreds of Antifa and the now radicalized BLM members are guilty of and still walking the streets, why should he die in prison ?
Imagine letting those that assault, rape, fire bomb, loot, burn storefronts, crash retail and restaurants store fronts out out of jail with no accountability 3,4, 5, or even 7 times or more and they want to leave an old man like Manafort in jail to rot ? Despicable !
BTW
If one is able to go out to loot, firebomb, assault, kill, and commit other crimes against property and people one should be able to get up, go out and VOTE .
