It's a Trap!

Couldn't figure out how to link to Admiral Akbar. Somebody help me out here.

I'm not falling for this Flynn ploy. Especially after the ridiculous act staged by Nunes.

Flynn is trying to cover for Trump. And what a coup it would be to get immunity in the process.

They are still trying to play us for fools.

Perhaps we are.

rights against self-incrimination.

No offer of immunity would ever be made without first receiving a 'proffer' from a suspect, i.e., some indication of what he or she is willing to testiy to.

Flynn needs immunity now because he is probably already guilty of several felonies, like lying to the FBI and failing to disclose the money he received from Turkey's Erdogan. The question is what his 'proffer' will consist of.

He may have been looking for some sort of revenge?

But, you are correct. These folks lie awake scheming new deceptions to use on the people.

get the red out

Bad trap, since asking for it makes him and the administration look very bad.

looking bad. The administration is already looking bad. Lets just hope they are not foolish enuf to give him a deal to rat on somebody other than Trump. So far he's the only side making an offer and we dont know the extent of the immunity he's trying to negotiate for.

As i said, after the Nunes debacle, i wouldnt put nothing past this group. They obviously think outside the box (or inside a paper bag - lol, depending on your perspective).

And, if he doesn't get immunity as you say, then that means the DOJ knows it's a trap!

on the bait he dangled. They also wont give him immunity unless they can't get the evidence some other way AND he turns in someone higher in the food chain. That lawyer's statement sounded desperate to me.
