Flynn asks for immunity

[M. Jordan]

So the first domino falls. The WSJ says that Flynn agreed to testify for immunity. Reminds me of the Nixon years. Once the first guy rats, its just a matter of time. Boom!!!

Mike Flynn just notified Congress that he’s willing to testify in exchange for immunity: WSJ

Retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn is looking to make a deal for immunity.

According to a Thursday Wall Street Journal report, Flynn told the FBI and congressional officials he is “willing to be interviewed in exchange for a grant of immunity from prosecution.”

Flynn worked for Trump’s campaign and was quickly appointed to National Security Advisor, with top secret access to classified intelligence documents. He was forced to resign after it was revealed he discussed U.S. sanctions on Russia with Moscow’s ambassador before Trump took office. Flynn has also come under scrutiny for his ties to Russian operatives and businesses.

WSJ said, however, that Flynn hasn’t been able to find anyone to agree to the deal.

“General Flynn certainly has a story to tell, and he very much wants to tell it, should the circumstances permit,” Flynn’s attorney Robert Keher said in a statement.

I will admit I'm not the sharpest tool around but, the request for immunity would seem to point to illegal activities right? This could be fun, hope he lives long enough to tesitify.

No reason to ask for immunity if you didn't do anything wrong!

Il Donald's regime will just deny him immunity and he will shut up. That's how it works right?

I suppose it depends on how indepedently the FBI acts. None of these people wants to face trial and a prison sentence.

Lock Them Up!!

"When you are given immunity, that means that you've probably committed a crime."


Flynn has all sorts of fun quotes from campaign season in that vein. Hell, he led the "Lock Her Up!" chants at the RNC.

It's very ironic isn't it. How fast they change their time when looking at jail time?

Just like Mafia types.

Independent FBI?! Lets check what day it is on the calendar. Maybe.

Not much unity in this group. Every man for himself, definitely not the three musketeers

That much easier to take them down.

Resistance is not futile.

This is one news story which I will be watching as it develops.

This may actually come to mean something and have real consequences.

"Raw Story" is not to be believed. Here is their headline: Mike Flynn just notified Congress that he’s willing to testify in exchange for immunity: WSJ

But the story says only that he is willing to be interviewed. Even if everybody is telling the truth, there is a big difference between testifying and being interviewed.

The request for immunity is an interesting move though. Why would he head in that direction? And what does he have that would be of interest to the investigation motivatinng them to grant him immunity? This is a big developmentn and smells of other problems for the administration.

Flynn, if granted immunity as his attorney suggests, will expose the Obama administration spying on the Trump campaign, federal judges, SCOTUS justices, political opponents, and prominent Americans as outlined by NSA whistleblowers Dennis Montgomery, and Willaim Binney. Stay tuned, some former administration people will probably go to jail.

 

[M. Jordan]

Why would he need immunity then? These guys always circle the wagons first.

Because it's a felony to speak publically about classified information and ongoing intelligence gathering programs or capabilities.

He isnt speaking publically, he would be before the house or the senate.

Thank you for my LMAO for the day.

You mean like Nunes did?

He revealed the existence of FISA investigations, which is against the law.

It was already in the public domain.

 

[Rightguide]

Looks like this thread is fake news as both Intel Committees said today that Flynn has not asked for immunity for offered any.

 

[Carnal_Flower]

No it wasn't.

The only thing "in the public domain" was Comey's statement that Trump's charges were not supported. Comey confirmed NO FISA investigations. No one has, except Idiot Boy.

Maybe Nunes learned of some in closed hearings. Then what the F is he doing discussing them at a press conference in the WH driveway?

And to state the obvious (way over your head, I know) if this was all public domain, then why did he have to rush to the WH grounds to go to a ",secure" location, and why does he refuse to disclose his sources?

It was already in the public domain.

Nope, you're wrong (as usual).

But as of Friday afternoon, it did not appear that investigators had accepted his offer. A Democratic source said that Democrats on the intelligence committee are resistant to the offer.

Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the intelligence committee, said Friday it was too early to say whether they would agree to Flynn's request, but put Flynn's offer in greater context
. . . .
A spokesman for House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes said that House investigators have spoken with Flynn's lawyer about bringing him in for questioning, but that immunity was never discussed.

The House intelligence committee "had a preliminary conversation with Michael Flynn's lawyer about arranging for Flynn to speak to the committee," Nunes spokesman Jack Langer said. "The discussions did not include immunity or other possible conditions for his appearance."

Spokespersons for the Senate intelligence committee declined to say Friday if the panel would accept Flynn's offer, but a Senate intelligence committee source said it seemed unlikely, although it was too early to say with certainty.

​

Of course Flynn also said people who seek immunity are criminals.

For his part, Flynn told NBC's "Meet the Press" in September of the aides involved in the Clinton probe, “When you are given immunity, that means you probably committed a crime.”​

Even the con artist agrees.

"The reason they get immunity is because they did something wrong, if they didn’t do anything wrong, they don’t think in terms of immunity," he said at a rally in Wisconsin last September.

At another rally in Florida the day before, Trump asked, "If you are not guilty of a crime, what do you need immunity for? Right."​

Yet now the same con artist says Flynn should seek immunity and testify.

And Trump himself supported Flynn's request for immunity Friday morning in a tweet, saying, "Mike Flynn should ask for immunity in that this is a witch hunt (excuse for big election loss), by media & Dems, of historic proportion!"

So take your pick. Either Flynn's lawyer is lying when he says they've put out the offer of immunity or they haven't. If they have, based on Flynn and the con artist's own words, Flynn is guilty of something.
