So, who will be the one or two Trumpsters given immunity deals?

[MineralMan]

Flynn may not be the winner. He may not have enough information to make it worthwhile to immunize him. But, others might. The DOJ and Congress are simply not going to give immunity to every Mike, Steve and Jared. They're looking for someone with lots of information to share on lots of people. It's a process of selecting the best source with the best info and then offering an immunity deal.

Until Mueller gets his investigation fully underway, I don't think there are going to be any immunity deals. He'll be the one deciding on this, I believe, and he doesn't have all the information he needs yet.

More waiting, but that waiting may pay off big down the road.

1. If the rubber meets the road, Trump will pardon them

Although pardoning them has its own pitfalls, since they then cannot refuse to testify against others on Fifth Amendment grounds.

So, once Trump starts down that road, there will be more pardons required.

But, still, Trump himself has complete authority to extend the ultimate immunity.

6. Agree.

All that will be left is impeachment. Then repigs can shut down any talk about impeachment by saying "no crimes were uncovered"

2. kushner and pence

4. Not Pence, I think.

If he's complicit in all of this, and I believe he is, he should be taken down with Trump. Otherwise, there is no real benefit except to get a loose cannon tied down again before it can sink the ship of state.

10. Seems to me Kushner's toast already via NY AG Eric Schneiderman's work re: RICO and

other $$ shenanigans? Don't know for a fact, of course.

So me, I want Flynn and Manafort!! They were everywhere, they know everything! - although giving them a free pass for betraying my country, that ain't right either...yeah, I'm conflicted!!

3. There will be pardons for all.

If not from 45 then from Pence.

5. i'm not sure anyone will get immunity.

these are amateur crooks who are in way, way over their heads.

i suspect there's a massive paper trail, between financial records and emails and social media and phone records.

i think there will be mountains of information to sift through, but i don't think they'll need testimony to make their case.

7. Couldn't the committee repukes grant immunity in order to torpedo things?

Like iran contra

8. I think I heard on MSNBC immunity requires a 2/3rd vote by the committee.
