Mike Flynn Offers to Testify in Exchange for Immunity - The Wall Street Journal

At this point, it appears that nobody is taking Flynn up on his offer to testify. Is that because immunity is not on the table for him? Or that nobody wants to hear what he has to say?

The fact that him and John podesta are asking for immunity for testimony speaks volumes about their character and guilt. This is what it boils down to, I'll tell you about everything WE did so that you can put other corrupt people I'm prison, but I don't want to pay for the crimes that I committed.

LOL!

Some people need to get over the fact that Trump is using social media without filtering through the msm.

If you don't want an Obama discussion tell Gry, he asked what Obama confessed to? He claimed to have found out about several significant events on tv. I find that quite hard to believe.

But perhaps it is more important to parse words than anything else that might be going on here.

It's more the fact that his tweets are emotional, reactionary, defensive, not fact-checked, and make him look very very weak which is the issue. Anyone who follows him will have seen how often he has to delete and retweet them due to basic errors. That's a clear example that he's posting emotionally rather than taking his time over it.

No matter how many times the cult say it makes him look strong for speaking out, everyone beyond the cult can see it's him being overly sensitive and weak. The man can't take criticism in any form without getting upset.

Some from column A, some from column B. The Republicans need a fall guy if Trump refuses to resign for "personal reasons." The FBI doesn't seem to need his testimony because they have the legal wiretaps to use for prosecution.

It's a very Russian tactic.

Hillary never lied under oath. That's automatic jail time to lie to the Fed.

If she had lied to them she would be in jail right now.

Plain and simple truth.

a reply to: anonfamily

No no one is aware of that because it never happened. Except in your imagination that is.

Yes. For several years now the Kremlin has been flooding the noosphere with conflicting misinformation to create the impression that "we may never know the truth." Once you give in to believing that it is impossible to uncover the truth with logic and critical thinking, you can be manipulated with rhetoric and raw appeals to the emotions. That, above all, was how Russia helped Trump into the White House. They created an atmosphere in the virtual world that made clear thought difficult for some, allowing a demagogue to gain power through emotional manipulation.

Again, the result of directed misinformation.

Ok the "at this point what matter does it make" line was about Susan Rice's bullet points and what order they were addressing them. It was NEVER about dead soldiers never...
Anyone who doesn't know this is simply a lazy researcher and a poor study.
So if you say it again just realize what it says about you. All of you. You all get an F .

a reply to: burgerbuddy

It was his lawyer that said he has a story to tell.

a reply to: fencesitter85

But but you know this is all just retaliation because of the big loss SAD...

a reply to: Xtrozero

Trump wants him protected so he can lie for him. Plain and simple.

a reply to: diggindirt

Well he certainly is without a filter. You got that right.

Yeah. Sadly we all had a front row seat.

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 Mr. Trump’s presidential campaign, and later one of Mr. Trump’s top aides in the White House, Mr. 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.

WSJ

Now, of course, we don't know what General Flynn knows ... but ... really, we must ask the question ... if he's done nothing "wrong" why would he want immunity to testify before Congress?

It's beginning to look like trouble on the horizon ...

Could it be that the Flynn request is just part of the plan? Found this page about how all of this leaking was actually a trap to determine where the leaks are coming from. True or not, things are playing out that way. Lots of smoke but no fire on multiple fronts could indicate fire, or it could be a ruse to flush out TPB moles.

President Trump has defeated Democrats in the intelligence community (IC) who were leaking classified information to the press. Such leaks have been a problem for many presidents, but Trump is the first who took a proactive approach and set up a sting operation that identified the leakers. It’s highly illegal to leak classified information. It’s also illegal to PUBLISH this information, but Trump is too smart to try and prosecute reporters. I thought that Trump would fire members of the IC until the leaks stopped, but the president solved the problem with a much more imaginative and deadly approach: He fed the IC false information. When this information was published, Trump was able to identify individual leakers.

The rest of the page goes into the timeline and events in an attempt to prove this theory. On some level I could see this as truth but on another level it might be wishful thinking. Read this persons reasoning HERE

That or they are starting to see that it's a setup. Check this out:

Leakers beware, Trump set a trap!

Trump loves to engage in the following. He's been a natural for it all his life.

1. High-volume and multichannel
2. Rapid, continuous, and repetitive
3. Lacks commitment to objective reality
4. Lacks commitment to consistency

Trouble is, that description is for The Russian "Firehose of Falsehood" Propaganda Model from the Rand Corporation.

Someone with a natural talent for Russian propaganda, easy to manipulate for Russia's cause.

We knew this early last October
Trump Knows ‘Nothing About Russia,’ He Just Repeats Their Propaganda

And combine the above with a homegrown Tea Party Congressman who says of Nunes, “You gotta keep in mind who he works for, he works for the president. He answers to the president.” Rep Ted Yoho clearly doesn't understand the Constitution or what our Founding Leaders wanted.

Putin loves to have friends in high places. It's much more affordable than military spending and war.

Please start a thread on this, it deserves to be better known. I have been researching one on Russian Cosmism and its influence on Russian cyber-warfare, but it may take some time to put it in an easy to digest form.
