Trump: ‘Flynn Was Treated Like Nobody Should’ by Dirty, Filthy Cops at the Top of the FBI

ACOSTA: “Mr. President, let me ask you about General Flynn.”

TRUMP: “Yeah.”

ACOSTA: “Are you going to pardon him? This is what you tweeted back in December of 2017. I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and lied to the FBI. Do you still believe he lied to the Vice President and the FBI?”
TRUMP: “When I looked what they did to him, they tormented him, dirty cops tormented General Flynn. General Flynn is a fine man, 35 years or so in the military. You don’t get to be where he is by being bad, that I can tell you. And then, right at the beginning of the administration, the dirty cops came in. And you see the notes, Jim. Whether you’re on our side, that side, whatever, I mean, I assume, let’s all talk about fairness. What they did to General Flynn, and, by the way, to Roger Stone and to others, was a disaster and a disgrace. And it should never be allowed to happen in this country again. And what I really hope, because CNN tormented him, in all fairness, I really hope to see, because they haven’t been doing it — and I appreciate your question — I hope to see that CNN will not even apologize, which they should, but just cover it fairly. Because he is in the process of being exonerated. If you look at those notes from yesterday, that was total exoneration. These were dirty, filthy cops at the top of the FBI and — you know the names better than I do, and they were dishonest people. Now we have to see what is going to happen. But General Flynn was treated like nobody should. And I’m not talking about generals, I’m saying like nobody in this country should be treated.”
