If Trump wanted to get Flynn off the hook, he could have issued him a pardon like he did Sheriff Arpaio. Instead Trump obstructed justice because he knows a pardon doesn't keep somebody from talking.
At that time, did they know about the felonies? And a pardon allows a person to not worry about talking
Since Trump didn't know all the felonies, or even the timespan of the felonies, issuing a pardon would have been difficult. Nobody has issued a pardon broad enough to cover everything Flynn might be charged with. And even then, it wouldn't cover Flynn for future lies to the FBI or Mueller.
