福克斯新闻 帕帕佐普洛斯就力争获得特朗普赦免发表看法(1)

President Trump¹'s former national security advisor² Michael Flynn expressing gratitude³ on Thanksgiving after being granted a full pardon by the president. Saying in a statement he can, quote, "breathe freedom and liberty." And going on to say, "never again should any family or individual be so viciously targeted, malign⁴, smeared⁵, and threatened. Such has been the experience of my family and I. Not you, or your loved ones, not me, nor President Trump." Flynn had twice pled get guilty after admitting to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian officials. My next guest was the first Trump campaign aide to be charged in the Mueller probe, sent to 14 days in prison for lying to the FBI about his interactions with Russians, and now he hopes President Trump will step in. George Papadopoulos is former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser⁶ and author of "Deep State Target: How I Got Caught in the Crosshairs of the Plot to Bring Down President Trump." George, thanks for being here tonight. First, I'm going to assume you believe this was a very appropriate action for President Trump to take with Michael Flynn?

特朗普总统的前国家安全顾问迈克尔·弗林在获得总统全面赦免后，于感恩节表示感谢。在一份声明中，他说自己可以“自由地呼吸了”。接着他表示，“再也不应该有任何家庭或个人受到如此恶毒的攻击、诽谤、污蔑和威胁。我和我的家人都有过这样的经历。不是你，不是你的亲人，不是我，也不是特朗普总统。”弗林曾两次承认，在与俄罗斯官员的接触这方面，自己向联邦调查局撒谎了，后被判有罪。我们的下一位嘉宾是第一位在穆勒调查中受到指控的特朗普竞选助手，因在与俄罗斯人的接触这方面向联邦调查局撒谎而被监禁14天，现在他希望特朗普总统能介入。乔治·帕帕佐普洛斯是前特朗普竞选外交政策顾问，著有《国家深度目标：我如何陷入打倒特朗普总统阴谋的风口浪尖》。乔治，谢谢你今晚与我们连线。首先，我觉得你认为这是特朗普总统对迈克尔·弗林采取的非常恰当的行动，对吗？

Thanks for having me, Will. And absolutely. What happened to General Flynn was an injustice⁷, it was a stain on our history -- on the history of our country. And it's something that actually should have never happened in the beginning. General Flynn is a three-star general who served his country honorably. And I think the president did the right thing. He tried to rectify⁸ this major injustice. I think many see that. In fact, the Wall Street Journal have said the following when it comes to this case with Michael Flynn said, congratulations, Mr.Trump for sparing an innocent man who served his country well but was ill served by too many of his countrymen. George, I understand you were hoping to find a similar pardon in your future from President Trump, is that right? Look, I want the facts to speak for themselves in my case. We can't forget that the Russia investigation⁹, if you will, was the biggest story in modern political history. And we still have not closed the chapter on this particular story.

谢谢你邀请我，威尔。当然，弗林将军的遭遇是不公正的，这是美国历史上的一个污点，这是一开始就不应该发生的事情。弗林将军是效忠国家三年的三星将军。我认为总统做了正确的事，他试图纠正这一极为不公正的举措。我想很多人都看到了。事实上，《华尔街日报》在谈到迈克尔·弗林一事时曾表示祝贺，特朗普先生宽恕了一个无辜的人，他为国家做了很多，却被太多的同胞所抨击。乔治，我知道，你希望在未来能从特朗普总统那里得到类似的赦免，对吗？在我这件事上，我想让事实来说明一切。我们不能忘记通俄门调查，这是现代政治史上最大的事件。我们还没有结束关于这个问题的讨论。
