Is Former National Security Adviser Mike Flynn Planning to Flip on Trump for Immunity? (46)
For the Breitbart readers... if this is fake news then your favorite news site reports the same fake news along with the OP report from Foxnews... who knows maybe he will confess to everything and not include Trump and his team... we'll just have to see what happens ... I dunno 
Report: Mike Flynn Tells FBI, Intel Committees He Will Testify in Exchange for Immunity
In his resignation letter, Flynn apologized for neglecting to fully inform VP Pence about the discussions he had with the Russian ambassador saying the omission was due to the “fast pace of events.”
At the time of the resignation, Trump Press Secretary Sean Spicer said the administration let Flynn go not due to any legal issues but due to “a trust issue.” Spicer said that the “level of trust between the President and General Flynn had eroded to the point where he felt he had to make a change.”
Flynn is facing pressure from several inquiries into his dealings with Russian officials which include thousands he was paid by a trio of Russian companies for speeches made before he joined Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, as well as his communications with the Russian ambassador.
Flynn’s offer to testify comes as Democrats continue to press for investigations into ties Trump may have had with Russia. To date there has been no direct ties proven between Trump or his campaign for president and Russia.

SistaCallie: Is Former National Security Adviser Mike Flynn Planning to Flip on Trump for Immunity?
No, he's covering his backside due to the obvious witch-hunt undertaken by the D.C. inner circle.Everyday it's something new that's gonna "Take down Trump" ....and everyday it's another nothing burger.
Btw, the Dems might wanna be careful what they ask Flynn.....maybe the former boss he's gonna take down is Obama.....not Trump.
But hey...go ahead and take Trump down.....like Ive stated before, I'll take Pence and new conservative SC justices all day long.

Snarky remark devoid of any real substance. Typical lib response.

And people like you, right up until 11-8-2016, told me Trump didn't stand a chance at winning the election. Y'all's track record for predictions suck.I'll let ya in on a secret raphy....Trump never was my first choice as president. And I often wondered how we couldn't get better candidates on either side....and I now know. No one worth any real damn would want to subjugate themselves to the intolerable bs that comes along with being president.
That being said...and back to my point about Trump not being my first choice....with all the rhetoric about Trump going to be a corrupt president.....I'll take that chance over the proven corrupt, lifelong politician, lying, patronizing bltch he was running against.

Evidently, Hillary is too big....in more ways than one.
And "probably" doesn't mean for sure. One thing is for sure though, a crime was committed when Flynn was unmasked. A point the MSM will ignore in order to continue with the Trump witch-hunt.
Btw, I don't think congressional or senatorial immunity gives one prosecutorial immunity. It just keeps any testimony used in those hearings from being used against someone. Any illegalities corroborated independently of those hearings can still be used to bring charges against someone by the DOJ.
At this point he hasn't been granted any immunity. Again, watch out what you wish for...the intended results might not be what you get

Figured I'd highlight this part of this previous post of mine considering what has unfolded over the last couple of days....seeing as the libs don't wanna talk about it.....""White House lawyers last month discovered that the former national security adviser Susan Rice requested the identities of U.S. persons in raw intelligence reports on dozens of occasions that connect to the Donald Trump transition and campaign, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
The pattern of Rice's requests was discovered in a National Security Council review of the government's policy on "unmasking" the identities of individuals in the U.S. who are not targets of electronic eavesdropping, but whose communications are collected incidentally. Normally those names are redacted from summaries of monitored conversations and appear in reports as something like "U.S. Person One."
The National Security Council's senior director for intelligence, Ezra Cohen-Watnick, was conducting the review, according to two U.S. officials who spoke with Bloomberg View on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly. In February Cohen-Watnick discovered Rice's multiple requests to unmask U.S. persons in intelligence reports that related to Trump transition activities. He brought this to the attention of the White House General Counsel's office, who reviewed more of Rice's requests and instructed him to end his own research into the unmasking policy.
The intelligence reports were summaries of monitored conversations -- primarily between foreign officials discussing the Trump transition, but also in some cases direct contact between members of the Trump team and monitored foreign officials.

The chairman of the House intelligence committee, Representative Devin Nunes, is also investigating how the Obama White House kept tabs on the Trump transition after the election through unmasking the names of Trump associates incidentally collected in government eavesdropping of foreign officials.

Rice herself has not spoken directly on the issue of unmasking. Last month when she was asked on the "PBS NewsHour" about reports that Trump transition officials, including Trump himself, were swept up in incidental intelligence collection, Rice said: "I know nothing about this," adding, "I was surprised to see reports from Chairman Nunes on that account today."
Rice's requests to unmask the names of Trump transition officials do not vindicate Trump's own tweets from March 4 in which he accused Obama of illegally tapping Trump Tower. There remains no evidence to support that claim.
But Rice's multiple requests to learn the identities of Trump officials discussed in intelligence reports during the transition period does highlight a longstanding concern for civil liberties advocates about U.S. surveillance programs. The standard for senior officials to learn the names of U.S. persons incidentally collected is that it must have some foreign intelligence value, a standard that can apply to almost anything. This suggests Rice's unmasking requests were likely within the law.
The news about Rice also sheds light on the strange behavior of Nunes in the last two weeks. It emerged last week that he traveled to the White House last month, the night before he made an explosive allegation about Trump transition officials caught up in incidental surveillance. At the time he said he needed to go to the White House because the reports were only on a database for the executive branch. It now appears that he needed to view computer systems within the National Security Council that would include the logs of Rice's requests to unmask U.S. persons.
The ranking Democrat on the committee Nunes chairs, Representative Adam Schiff, viewed these reports on Friday. In comments to the press over the weekend he declined to discuss the contents of these reports, but also said it was highly unusual for the reports to be shown only to Nunes and not himself and other members of the committee.
Indeed, much about this is highly unusual: if not how the surveillance was collected, then certainly how and why it was disseminated.
Same article YOU posted but you pieced it together the way you felt would show favor toward Trump leaving out imprtant information regarding the investigation... but even what you posted doesn't show favor to Trump's lies. Sooo, NOW READ THIS ARTICLE AS IT IS WRITTEN AND STOP TRYING TO DEFEND THE TRUMP LIE!

Flynn in talks to testify in Trump-Russia probe if assured of immunity
Published March 30, 2017 FoxNews.com
WSJ: Mike Flynn offers to testify in exchange for immunity
Former National Security Adviser Mike Flynn is in discussions with the House and Senate intelligence committees to receive immunity from prosecution in exchange for questioning about potential ties between Russia and officials in President Donald Trump's campaign, his lawyer said Thursday.
In a statement, Flynn's attorney Robert Kelner said the retired Army lieutenant general "certainly has a story to tell, and he very much wants to tell it, should the circumstances permit."
The discussions were first reported by the Wall Street Journal. The report cited officials who said that Flynn has made offers to the FBI and the House and Senate intelligence committees through Kelner but has so far found no takers.
Jack Langer, a spokesman for House intelligence committee chairman Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said Flynn had not offered to testify before the committee in exchange for immunity. However, Langer did not say whether or not Flynn had spoken to committee members about a possible deal.
A congressional aide confirmed to the Associated Press that discussions with the Senate intelligence committee involved immunity. The aide spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.
In his statement, Kelner said that "no reasonable person ... would submit to questioning in such a highly politicized, witch hunt environment without assurances against unfair prosecution."
Flynn's ties to Russia have been scrutinized by the FBI and are under investigation by the House and Senate intelligence committees. Both committees are looking into Russia's meddling in the 2016 presidential election and any ties between Trump associates and the Kremlin.
Since July, the FBI has been conducting a counterintelligence investigation into Russia's interference in the election and possible coordination with Trump associates.
Four other Trump associates have come forward in recent weeks, saying they would talk to the committees. As of Wednesday, the Senate intelligence committee had asked to interview 20 people as part of the probe.
In his statement, Kelner said the political climate in which Flynn is facing "claims of treason and vicious innuendo" is factoring into his negotiations with the committees.
Flynn was fired from his job as President Donald Trump's first national security adviser after it was disclosed that he misled the vice president about a conversation he had with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. during the transition.
In the weeks after he resigned, Flynn and his business registered with the Justice Department as foreign agents for $530,000 worth of lobbying work that could have benefited the Turkish government.
The lobbying occurred while Flynn was a top Trump campaign adviser. The Turkish businessman who hired Flynn, Ekim Alptekin, has told the AP that Flynn's firm registered under pressure from the Justice Department.
