Trump was asked today if he was considering pardoning Michael Flynn and his response seems to indicate that a pardon is not off the table:
Q: Would you consider a pardon for Micahel Flynn?

Trump says he doesn’t want to talk about it ‘yet’, but then proceeds to say “we’ll see what happens, let’s see.”
He then argued that people are very angry about what’s going on at the FBI and Justice Department before he stopped taking questions.
I think we can infer from this that Trump is at least open to the idea of pardoning Flynn and perhaps considering one, but doesn’t want to put his cards on the table yet just in case something more devastating comes out in the future.
