He would be a fool not to cover himself going into it, not that they could have anything but he did do a retroactive filing as a agent.

They already pulled it, must be fake news.

Why would he need immunity before testifying?

Why would he need immunity before testifying?
Because he is dealing with corrupt congress (barring few). All Clinton gang members received immunity before talking to FBI for instance. IMO.

Democrats, meanwhile, quickly shot around a comment Flynn made last year on MSNBC (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/09/25/gen_flynn_hillary_clinton_shouldnt_be_too_big_to_j ail.html), that "when you are given immunity, that means you probably committed a crime."

Repubs are very worried. Obviously this could mean anything from a minor violation to the toppling of a president.

It's fake news

It's fake newsSaid over and over again while sitting in the corner of a dark room :pout:

I wonder if Dr. Evelyn Farkas is going to plead the 5th or request immunity....

In a few days Gorsuch will be confirmed and my expectations are met 👍

Except for the wish that two more Justices leave the court in the next few years

If any of us were Flynn, we'd be asking for immunity too. He directly lied to the FBI last year about sanctions. His focus is on absolving himself of that crime. Period. Talking to the Russians about the sanctions wasn't a crime. Saying he didn't do that to the FBI was a crime.

He's going to sing like a bird - always knew he'd be the one.

The song consists of roughly eight vocal elements repeated about 50 times for 3 seconds. Flynn singing might cause predators to eat his young.Is it worth it? ;)

This is most likely correct. He may be holding out a carrot (the full story) in exchange for getting out of what he actually did wrong. However, that does not mean the full story contains anything significant about him or others and illegal collusion with Russia.

If neither committee takes him up on his offer, then we'll know that they already know there is no fire under all that smoke. They'd rather let him hang for his crime and say they did a public service for the millions being spent frivolously on this effort.

Except he will never be charged with anything and live happily ever after on his retirement and money received as a lobbyist for some country/group/organization.

... White House press secretary Sean Spicer said the president was not trying to suggest to the Justice Department or the investigating committees that Flynn should receive immunity, but rather that Flynn and others should talk to Congress, with legal precautions.

“We’ve actually encouraged people to go talk to the House and Senate intelligence committees and the appropriate investigators so that they can continue to get to the bottom of this,” Spicer said. ...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/requests-for-immunity-as-michael-flynn-sought-are-rarely-granted/2017/03/31/8c48631c-163e-11e7-ada0-1489b735b3a3_story.html?utm_term=.1d6c34908707

Kind of ironic because two of them interpreted this encouragement to go ahead and do it in the dead of night on White House grounds. So, I believe Spicer. Even it it can be viewed as obstruction of justice.

When do "they" care about appearances?

Sing like a bird? He's got no song. It's plain Obama was listening to everything he was doing last fall. And probably before that. Obama and the Dems would have brought it out by now if they had anything serious.

Dems better be careful. The listening may be worse than what they heard. The "unmasking" from what read is a felony. There lies a serious problem for somebody. Jeff Bouregard Sessions just might drop the hammer on someone.

Kind of in agreement.

I think everybody is expecting him to roll over on Trump and company. It could well be the opposite.

Either way, the Dims aren't going to be as geeked up about it as they are now.

In the Clinton case they passed out immunity like candy on Oct 31th... did not raise an eyebrow from the Fake New Networks. I think I remember seeing a few of them Golf Clap in support for it.

Tell you the truth I believe many are getting tired of the phony... Hunt for Red November BS.

The leakers are the true black hearts that need to be rooted out and hung up.

The bottom line is that the democrats are a much bigger threat to us then the Russians ever were or ever will be.

The only weapon the Russians have ever used effectively on us is the truth about the dems. :pound:

While tongue in cheek, you are actually truthful. :cool:

Between Schumer and Pelosi, those asshats are on a mission to destroy our country more than anything Russia could ever think about doing.

Also, how in the **** does Maxine Waters ever get elected? If it wasn't for Santa Anita, I'd be all for California falling into the ocean. Batshit crazy doesn't even begin to describe that woman. How do these people get elected?
