LOU: LAST WEDNESDAY PRESIDENT
TRUMP PARDONED GENERAL MICHAEL
FLYNN AFTER YEARS-LONG
PERSECUTION OF THE GENERAL.
THE WHITE HOUSE STATED THIS IN
GIVING HIM A FULL AND
UNCONDITIONAL PARDON: GENERAL
FLYNN SHOULD NOT REQUIRE A
PARDON.
HE IS AN INNOCENT MAN.
EVEN THE FBI AGENTS WHO
INTERVIEWED GENERAL FLYNN DID
NOT NEW-LYING.
THE PROSECUTION OF -- THINK HE
WAS LYING.
THE PROSECUTION OF GENERAL FEAR
IS ANOTHER REMINDER OF SOMETHING
LONG CLEAR.
INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE OUTGOING
ADMINISTRATION REFUSED TO ACCEPT
THE CHOICE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
HAD MADE AT THE BALLOT BOX AND
WORKED TO UNDERMINE THE PEACEFUL
TRANSITION OF POWER.
THE GENERAL AND HIS FAMILY WERE
GRACIOUS IN THEIR EXPRESSIONS OF
GRATITUDE SAYING, QUOTE, THE
FLYNN FAMILY IS GRATEFUL TO
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP FOR
ANSWERING OUR PRAYERS AND THE
PRAYERS OF A NATION BY REMOVING
THE HEAVY BURDEN OF INJUSTICE
OFF THE SHOULDERS OF OUR BROTHER
MICHAEL WITH A FULL PARDON OF
INNOCENCE.
WE THANK PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR
RECOGNIZING OUR BROTHER’S
SACRIFICE IN HIS BATTLE FOR
TRUTH, OUR CONSTITUTION, OUR
REPUBLIC AND ALL THAT AMERICA
STANDS FOR AROUND THE WORLD.
A TRUE BEACON OF LIBERTY.
JOINING US TONIGHT BY PHONE IS
GENERAL MICHAEL FLYNN WHO HAS
SERVED THIS NATION WITH GREAT
DISTINCTION IN THE UNITED STATES
MILITARY AND IN HIS PRIVATE LIFE
AND POLITICAL LIFE AS WELL.
GENERAL, FIRST OF ALL, IT’S AN
HONOR TO HAVE YOU ON THE
BROADCAST, AND WE, WE ARE
ABSOLUTELY THRILLED THAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP TOOK THIS
ACTION.
I KNOW THAT THERE WERE
RESERVATIONS ON YOUR PART AND
THAT OF YOUR DEFENSE COUNSEL
ABOUT ACCEPTING SUCH A PARDON.
GIVE US YOUR STATE OF MIND AND
HEART AT THIS MOMENT.
>> WELL, FIRST, LOU, THANKS VERY
MUCH FOR HAVING ME ON YOUR SHOW
AND FOR YOUR AUDIENCE AND FOR
YOU PERSONALLY.
YOU HAVE BEEN A BEACON OF LIGHT
TO THIS COUNTRY AND HAVE BEEN
REALLY RELENTLESS IN THE PURSUIT
OF TRUTH.
I HONESTLY DO NOT --
LOU: THANK YOU.
>> IT IT HAS NOT SUNK IN YET, LO
IT WILL, I WOULD SAY, AND I’LL
JUST REEMPHASIZE SOME OF THE
POINTS YOU MADE FROM MY FAMILY’S
LETTER.
MY FAITH IN GOD, HE’S AN AMAZING
SPIRIT, HE’S AN AMAZING LIGHT IN
MY LIFE.
THE STRENGTH OF MY FAMILY,
MARLEY MY WIFE.
WE’VE -- PARTICULARLY MY WIFE.
WE’VE BEEN TOGETHER FOR DECADES,
SINCE WE WERE 13 YEARS OLD.
AND REALLY WHAT I CALL, I
DESCRIBE AS TRUE FRIENDS, LOU,
PATRIOTS ALL ACROSS THIS
COUNTRY, FRIENDS THAT I’VE HAD
FROM WHEN I WAS A KID TO THOSE
THAT I MET IN THE MILITARY.
BUT THE OUTREACH BY AMERICA TO
MY FAMILY AND I IS JUST
EXTRAORDINARY, AND IT HAS REALLY
GIVEN ME THE RESILIENCE THAT I
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BE BLESSED BY
TO FIGHT THROUGH THIS AND GET TO
THE POINT WHERE WE GOT.
AND I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THE
PRESIDENT FOR SEEING WHAT HE
AND9 WHAT THE WHITE HOUSE
DESCRIBED AS A PARDON OF
INNOCENCE, BECAUSE THAT’S
EXACTLY WHAT IT IS.
LOU: IT IS THAT.
IT IS ALSO -- I KNOW YOUR
DEFENSE ATTORNEY, SIDNEY POWELL,
WHO HAS WORKED TIRESLESSLY AND
RELENT -- TIRELESSLY AND
RELENTLESSLY ON YOUR BEHALF.
SHE AT ONE POINT HATED TO SEE
THE PRESIDENT GIVE A PARDON, AND
I KNOW THAT MEANS THAT YOU WERE
CONCERNED ABOUT IT AS WELL.
HOW DID YOU OVERCOME THAT
RETICENCE?
I’LL PUT IT THAT WAY.
>> WELL, I THINK AT A CERTAIN
POINT IN TIME, YOU KNOW, KNOWING
MYSELF, I’D HAVE PROBABLY JUST
CONTINUED TO GO AND GO AND GO.
BUT AS MY FAMILY AND I,
PARTICULARLY MY WIFE AND I
TALKED ABOUT IT AND HONESTLY
PRAYED OVER IT, WE CAME TO THE
CONCLUSION THAT THIS WAS THE
RIGHT MOMENT IN TIME TO DO THIS.
THE JUSTICE SYSTEM THAT WE WERE
FACING WAS JUST NOT GOING TO
FUNCTION PROPERLY.
AND IT WAS VERY, VERY OBVIOUS
THAT THAT WAS GOING TO BE THE
CASE.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE WENT AND MADE
THE DECISION THAT THIS WAS THE
DIRECTION THAT WE WANTED TO GO
AND GOOD ENOUGH FOR PRESIDENT
DONALD TRUMP FOR COMING THROUGH,
AND WE’RE, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY
GRATEFUL TO HIM.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE ALSO
KNOW THAT THIS WAS A POLITICAL
PERSECUTION OF THE HIGHEST ORDER
AND NOT SOMETHING THAT NEW
AMERICAN SHOULD EVER -- THAT ANY
AMERICAN SHOULD EVER HAVE TO GO
THROUGH.
LOU: WE STILL DON’T KNOW THE,
WELL, FULL EXTENT OF THE
REPORTING ON THE MOMENT AT WHICH
YOU WERE BEING FRAMED IN THE
WHITE HOUSE BY TWO FBI AGENTS.
WE STILL HAVEN’T SEEN AGENT
MEANT CA’S SO-CALLED 302 WHICH
IS A SUMMARY OF THAT INTERVIEW.
IT’S EXTRAORDINARY THAT THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT STILL
WITHHOLDS THIS, THE FBI, SO MUCH
ABOUT YOUR CASE.
WHO DO YOU HOLD RESPONSIBLE FOR
WHAT THEY DID TO YOU, THE
PERSECUTION OF GENERAL MICHAEL
FLYNN FOR MORE THAN FOUR YEARS?
>> WELL, I MEAN, I THINK AT THE
END OF THE DAY PEOPLE WANT ME TO
SAY SOMETHING OR, YOU KNOW, FOR
YEARS, YOU KNOW, DO YOU -- ARE
YOU UPSET WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP,
ARE YOU UPSET WITH THE WHITE
HOUSE, EXPECT ANSWER IS NO. --
AND THE ANSWER IS NO.
AND THE REASON WHY BECAUSE THIS
WAS A IS SETUP FROM THE
BEGINNING, AND IT REALLY --
WHERE ACCOUNTABILITY LIES IS IT
LIES IN THE PREVIOUS
ADMINISTRATION.
I MEAN, WE ALL KNOW THAT.
THE TRUTH HAS BEEN OUT NOW FOR,
YOU KNOW, WELL OVER A YEAR --
LOU: RIGHT.
>> -- PROBABLY A YEAR AND A
HALF, AND THERE’S BEEN
EXTRAORDINARY THE, WHAT EVERYONE
NOW, YOU KNOW, KNOWS AS
EXCULPATORY THE EVIDENCE, RIGHT,
THAT HAS COME OUT.
AND IT’S COME OUT THROUGH --
LOU: RIGHT.
>> -- THROUGH THE GREAT FIGHTING
WARRIOR STRENGTH OF SIDNEY
POWELL.
AND THAT TUBE OF INFORMATION,
OH, MY GOD, WHAT WAS THIS, THE
PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION DOING
DURING THE CAMPAIGN OF DONALD
TRUMP, DURING THE TRANSITION OF
DONALD TRUMP AND THEN DURING,
WHILE HE WAS IN OFFICE.
I MEAN, AND I SAID IN MY
STATEMENT THAT THIS COUNTRY
SHOULD NEVER BE USURPED BY THE
POWER IN OUR GOVERNMENT AND BY
THE INSTITUTIONS OF OUR
GOVERNMENT JUST AS FEDERAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT, THE INTELLIGENCE
EVER AGAIN.
AND I KNOW THAT THE PRESIDENT
FEELS THE SAME WAY AS I DO.
AND WE CANNOT HAVE THAT IN A
COUNTRY LIKE WE HAVE, A
BEAUTIFUL, STRONG COUNTRY LIKE
WE HAVE, AND SURVIVE.
AND, HONESTLY, AS I’VE GONE
THROUGH FOUR YEARS OF THIS, LOU,
SO HAS THE PRESIDENT AND,ING
FRANKLY, IT’S MORE DAMAGING, SO
HAS THE COUNTRY.
AND THE COUNTRY HAS BEEN DAMAGED
BY THIS.
LOU: ABSOLUTELY.
>> AND I THINK WE’RE STILL
FEELING THE PAIN IN THIS RECENT
ELECTION.
LOU: GENERAL FLYNN HAS NEVER
FLINCHED FROM FROM A FIGHT.
AND THIS TIME IS NO EXCEPTION.
HE’S ENGAGED IN A NEW BATTLE,
THE BATTLE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE
