You don't have enough tinfoil to argue with me.
You're the one believing conspiracy theories about magical shape shifting Russians.
That must be why Flynn is requesting immunity to testify.
Counsel to Lt. General Mike Flynn (Retired)
General Flynn certainly has a story to tell, and he very much wants to tell it, should the circumstances permit.
Out of respect for the Committees, we will not comment right now on the details of discussions between counsel for General Flynn and the House and Senate Intelligence Committees, other than to confirm that those discussions have taken place. But it is important to acknowledge the circumstances in which those discussions are occurring.
General Flynn is a highly decorated 33-year veteran of the U.S. Army. He devoted most of his life to serving his country, spending many years away from his family fighting this nation's battles around the world. He was awarded four Bronze Stars for actions in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere in the war on terror. He received the Legion of Merit twice, and the Defense Superior Service Medal four times. He is a recipient of the Defense Department's Distinguished Service Award and the Intelligence Community Gold Seal Medallion for Distinguished Service, as well as numerous other decorations.
Notwithstanding his life of national service, the media are awash with unfounded allegations, outrageous claims of treason, and vicious innuendo directed against him. He is now the target of unsubstantiated public demands by Members of Congress and other political critics that he be criminally investigated. No reasonable person, who has the benefit of advice from counsel, would submit to questioning in such a highly politicized, witch hunt environment without assurances against unfair prosecution.
I think this is going to be good and for him.
Trump letting him go and not standing with him was a shitty thing to do. Politically expedient maybe but shitty. Trump should have backed him (and Corey) BUT I think this will be a great way for Flynn to dump on the Left. How? By laying it all bare and whilst Trump DID accuse him of being untrustworthy for lying to Pence, the Left were fucking brutal in their accusations against this proud and decorated man. Here is his chance to set the record straight and dispel all of those lies and accusations from his character and in a setting where there is no blowback on him.
That is how the letter from counsel reads to me. It feels genuine to me. I think fair enough.
It may be that I misread this and it could be he is wanting to drag down Trump in some kind of petty revenge, I do not think so. If it happens that there is some crap for Trump to answer from this, fair enough. He ought not have ditched Flynn in the first place (Though I like his replacement too).
I am interested in how this goes. I honestly think that this is not the smoking gun and such you are looking for.
Paul Mannafort will likely be a better chance to get ANY dirt on Trump. IF offered immunity. Please be aware, if Mannafort has no juicy information, then simply put, there is none to find. Don't concern yourself with Flunn, wait for Mannafort!
