Donald Trump would like to have this tweet back about Michael Flynn

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Yesterday Donald Trump and Bill Barr had the Department of Justice seek to withdraw its criminal case against Michael Flynn, even though Flynn already pleaded guilty and cut a cooperating plea deal quite awhile ago. As Palmer Report has explained, this idiotic move doesn’t help Trump in any way, shape, or form – and it’s a reminder that Trump has absolutely no 2020 strategy.

Worse, this takes a very ugly Trump scandal and puts it right back on the front page. Michael Flynn criminally conspired with Russia against the United States government while he was working for the Trump 2016 campaign, and then he committed the felony of lying about it to the FBI while he was Trump’s White House National Security Adviser. It also means that Trump would very much like to have this December 2017 tweet back:
