Senate Rejects Immunity Request From Flynn

Michael Flynn's request for immunity in Trump-Russia probe 'rejected by Senate Intelligence Committee'

Mr Flynn's legal team have been told that immunity is 'not on the table'

Independent UK

The Senate Intelligence Committee has reportedly turned down Michael Flynn's request for immunity from prosecution in exchange for being interviewed as part of their investigation into Russia's alleged hacking of the 2016 presidential election.

Mr Flynn's lawyer was told immunity was “wildly preliminary” and “not on the table” at this point, a senior congressional official told NBC. It does not necessarily rule out immunity at a later date, as the investigation is still being pursued.

President Donald Trump has supported the decision of his former national security adviser to seek immunity in exchange for his testimony in congressional probes of possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

trumps's latest rants on Twitter about flynn and the trump/Russia scandal:

4:04 AM - 31 Mar 2017 - "Mike Flynn should ask for immunity in that this is a witch hunt (excuse for big election loss), by media & Dems, of historic proportion!"

5:43 AM - 1 Apr 2017 - "When will Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd and @NBCNews start talking about the Obama SURVEILLANCE SCANDAL and stop with the Fake Trump/Russia story?"

6:02 AM - 1 Apr 2017 - "It is the same Fake News Media that said there is "no path to victory for Trump" that is now pushing the phony Russia story. A total scam!"

9:50 AM - 1 Apr 2017 - "Wow, @FoxNews just reporting big news. Source: "Official behind unmasking is high up. Known Intel official is responsible. Some unmasked...."

10:02 AM - 1 Apr 2017 - "..not associated with Russia. Trump team spied on before he was nominated." If this is true, does not get much bigger. Would be sad for U.S."

trump certainly is busy ...whining like a stuck pig.

And it sounds like trump is panicking. He set the spin factor to "Oh Shit!"

Now let's revisit some older stuff, for fun...


At a September rally in Florida last year, trump said - "If you're not guilty of a crime, what do you need immunity for?"

...and...

6:29 PM - 9 Oct 2016 from University City, MO - "ATTN: @HillaryClinton - Why did five of your staffers need FBI IMMUNITY?! #BigLeagueTruth #Debates"

Meanwhile, flynn was also setting up some ironical moments for us to enjoy...

flynn said this to Chuck Todd on "Meet The Press" on Sept. 25th, 2016 - “Five people around (Clinton) have had, have been given immunity, to include her former Chief of Staff. When you are given immunity, that means that you have probably committed a crime.”

Oh? Is that why YOU asked for immunity, flynn? Just to be clear here, Clinton hadn't asked for immunity, but you yourself have. Now, isn't that ironical?

 

Before:

trump: "If you're not guilty of a crime, what do you need immunity for?"

flynn: "When you are given immunity, that means that you have probably committed a crime.”

Me: "Good point."


After:

trump: "Mike Flynn should ask for immunity in that this is a witch hunt (excuse for big election loss), by media & Dems, of historic proportion!"

flynn: Asks for immunity.

Me: "Priceless."
