Ex-Trump adviser Flynn offers testimony if he gets immunity
Market Watch ^ | March 30, 2017 | Shane Harris

WASHINGTON — Mike Flynn, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, has told the Federal Bureau of Investigation and congressional officials investigating the Trump campaign’s potential ties to Russia that he is willing to be interviewed in exchange for a grant of immunity from prosecution, according to officials with knowledge of the matter.

As an adviser to Trump’s presidential campaign, and later one of Trump’s top aides in the White House, Flynn was privy to some of the most sensitive foreign-policy deliberations of the new administration and was directly involved in discussions about the possible lifting of sanctions on Russia imposed by the Obama administration.

He has made the offer to the FBI and the House and Senate intelligence committees though his lawyer but has so far found no takers, the officials said. Flynn’s attorney, Robert Kelner, declined to comment.

Flynn never voiced his concerns about the 'wiretaps' and such. He never called on any transcripts to be released to clear his good 'name'. I think he knows he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar in some form.

The 'released' transcripts were just a move by .gov to say hey dude, we are watching ya and have more stuff on ya.

I remember when it looked like Flynn was going to be let go, that he could end up being Trumps Ollie North.

Ollie got immunity and and gave them nothing. He didn't have anything, and they couldn't make anything. No incriminating connection to Reagan.
I just get excited about being such a super Nostradumbass on the internets.

This is proabably precautionary, but it will feed the Democrat Russian hysteria. and in involves the FBI and Comey so who knows what Comey is up to at this stage.

I read on twitter a while ago that they are putting three people in Federal Protection...could that be the two that talked to Nunes that dipwad blabbed about, or could it be three others?

Remember there was:

Seth Rich on his way to discuss election fraud on 7/10/2017;

UN Offical John Ashe, he was to testify as a top official against the DNC and Hillary on 6/22/2016;

Victor Thorn, author of books exposing the Clintons found dead of a gunshot wound on a mountain top near his home on 8/1/2016;

Shawn Lucas, Lead Attorney in the Anti-Clinton DNC Fraud case and a Bernie Sanders supporter found dead at his home on 8/4/ 2016l

Makes you wonder doesn’t it???

Never. Flynn is a Democrat. If they give him immunity, he will concoct a story in conformance with the Democrat narrative. He is a filthy snake who never should have been on Trump’s team initially.

On the other hand.....

"I'll have more flexibility"

"I understand. I will tell Putin"

Yes...a pre-election discussion on missile defense.

"Lifting on sanctions on Russia? What does that have to do with rigging the elections in 2016.'

Nothing with the election, but I can see where Flynn could be prosecuted under a perverted interpretation on the Logan Act. A private citizen negotiating lifting of sanctions imposed by the sitting government. I do not buy it, but Iam sure the Never Trumpers will try.

To think, he was Trump’s biggest cheerleader on the campaign trail. The swamp is so filthy, I don’t see it being drained any time soon.

Flynn is still a Democrat, and a liar. Why so many here defended him is inexplicable:

‘President Donald Trump did not know that Michael Flynn had lobbied on behalf of the government of Turkey before appointing him national security adviser, the White House said Thursday.

“I don’t believe that that was known,” White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said.’

This is twitter:

Mike Allen@AMike4761

Three Obama-Aides Just Went Into Witness Protection! - Us Politics Info.com

Just read this part from that site:

” The US Justice Department, which has been preparing a case against Obama for abuse of power and illegal surveillance, confirmed that three witnesses have been added to the prosecution’s case and have agreed to turn state’s evidence in exchange for immunity.”
