Schiff on possible Flynn pardon: Trump is 'acting like an organized crime figure' (msn.com)
Axios reported yesterday that the president has told close allies that he plans to pardon Flynn as part of a series of pardons he plans to issue in his remaining days in office. Fox News reporter Kevin Corke later confirmed the report.
"It just, frankly, reflects so ill on our democracy, on the United States," Schiff said during an interview on CNN's "New Day." "Imagine what people around the world think when we have a president that's acting like an organized crime figure."
"But this is who Donald Trump is. It's who he was on the way into the presidency. It will be exactly who he is on his last days of the presidency," he said.
