The stunning allegation is as yet uncorroborated

But ill go as far as say its trending true.

I tend to prefer my breaking news stories come from actual news sites.

The only news I see after a quick search is....

The OP's article is a culmination of this article, Stern's twitter video and the Newsweek article.

As someone who doesn't know every nuance of governmental law. Does Trumps pardon of Flynn only apply to him pleading guilty to the Russia probe, or would it also cover this if found guilty?

From a quick read his pardon would seem to only apply to crimes related to the Mueller investigation. This seems to be something separate so probably not.

I’m someone who firmly believes Flynn is a traitor, but something about this whole story just doesn’t smell right. I think this candidate “doth protest too much” if you catch my drift. Let’s wait for the full story…

True, and also I don't think a pardon could ever apply to criminal conduct committed after the pardon was issued anyway. Assuming that was the case here.

The article is propaganda. Hearsay and accusations presented as fact.

Accusation is the first step toward prosecution.
Indeed. Accusation, investigation, evidence, trial, conviction/acquittal. The article tossed in several unfounded opinions as established fact. I don't like that. It comes across as foolish conspiracy theories and clouds the actual event.

Evidence gleaned from books.
Given Flynn’s illicit activities since 2015—catalogued in detail in Proof of Collusion (Simon & Schuster, 2018), Proof of Conspiracy (Macmillan, 2019), and Proof of Corruption (Macmillan, 2020).

The bestselling Proof Trilogy (link) exhaustively detailed Flynn’s clandestine contacts with Israeli intelligence,

Evidence that has never been proven.
impeccably credentialed former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele supplied the FBI with potentially damning information about Trump from highly placed Russian sources in mid-2016, the FBI’s response was to lie to the New York Times in an October 2016 pre-election report and say that it had no evidence of illicit ties between Trump and Russian agents.

The accusation may be valid, but the authors validation is entirely hearsay. It's a garbage article.

So backing off the propaganda angle, by trying to move the goalpost.
Who cares Ill allow it.

Though, counterpoint, you are still wrong. Proof 1-2-3 is fully sourced and fact checked vs the journalistic data it builds upon. Of course all those articles can be lies. In theory.

Of course the next thing you'll say is that its never been proven in - a court of law - and to that I'll say, thats a nice tree you found there... have fun living in it. Bye Felicia.

Poor baby still hasn't recovered from Obama canning him for being a racist anti Muslim. So he's more than willing to turn traitor. My country screwed me, so I'm gonna do the screwing now.

Even easier. Though I think if they call him back they can strip his benefits as well.
Generally speaking I am VERY reluctant to try and punish people for political speech by attacking their retirement benefits but if I can think of any case it might be warranted it’s here. The bedrock of military service is the oath to support and defend the constitution and this asshole is trying to overthrow it.
