Former national security adviser Michael Flynn has offered to cooperate with congressional investigators in exchange for immunity from prosecution, a suggestion that has been met with initial skepticism, according to people familiar with the matter.Maybe I'm naïve as fuck, but I don't get why somebody would want a grant of immunity before they testify unless they know that they've done something that they could be prosecuted for doing.
Let's not forget that some of Flynn's guys are still in the NSC and it was a couple of them who leaked intelligence reports to Nunes. Leaks that President* Trump probably likes because those leaks served his purpose, if only for a little while.
Worse, Flynn was head of the DIA for two years. If he was turned by the Russians, then the DIA has some pretty big problems.
Tapping the brakes, because it could just be him dirty...but...yummy...
ReplyDeleteThat's what Sally Yates said, that he was potentially compromised and vulnerable to blackmail. And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he the exact guy who went on TV and said about Hillary's sysadmin that if you ask for immunity you must be guilty? I don't know if I got the words right, but that's definitely what he said. A might short-sighted and presumptuous of him, to say the least.
