CNN’s Quinn: ‘Plausible’ Flynn’s Still Trying to Curry Favor with the President in the Event He Needs a Pardon

EXCERPT:

QUINN: “I mean, it’s just baffling. Now, there are a couple different explanations, and they might be wild, and I have no basis for putting them out there, but you know, it’s entirely possible that like Paul Manafort, he’s trying to have it both ways. He’s still somehow trying to curry favor with the President in the event that he needs or wants or would benefit from a pardon down the road. I mean, that’s plausible. I’m not saying it’s likely, but you never know what could be in the back of a mind who’s come up with the conduct that Michael Flynn has recently. So you know, we’ll see. I mean, I really think it was unwise of him, frankly, to allow his lawyers to lodge this defense that he was tricked into saying the things he did. I don’t think that the judge will respond well to that, but we’ll see.”
