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

Do tell...what are you thinking?

The president is a vast failure in business who only ever made coin selling his name. He is a public relations success, a nightmare otherwise. He crushed several companies, both publicly and privately owned, under his unsound decision making.

That said, he knows a thing or two about public relations. So I'm sure his team is strong there.

It's a house of cards. Nunes, for whatever reason, is trying to hold it up. Perhaps for party unity. Once the intelligence agencies show their hand, the military will not be cool with it. I'm personally related to several leaders in NATO and the US army and these are people whose mission is to secure Americas place in the entire globe, they won't tolerate a president who is compromised.

Correction: he is a compromised patsy with extraordinarily narcissistic tendencies who is a danger to us abroad.

Thankfully, he will resign before our military requires him to do so.

The "Lion's Den" for prosecution would be the Justice Department if I'm not mistaken in this case.

Why would Trump's Justice Department be politically against Mr. Flynn?

a reply to: chaeone86

I'm still thinking 25th Amendment, but that's just my pet theory.

Either case, Pence* becomes President and Ryan VP.

Gosh, it's almost like someone planned it that way, ain't it?

ETA: I've noticed something lately. Flynn is in almost EVERY PICTURE of the President in the White House, always there, "looking over" what's happening.

Trump almost always looks ... excited, or scattered or smug ... but Flynn is always there, rock-solid.

I don't that that's accidental, either.

*I must have Flynn on the brain. Mr. Pence will be President if Mr. Trump is removed.

However this plays out, Russia wins.

They pinpointed our divisions and weaknesses, outmaneuvering us and our democratic institutions at every turn.

We now stand in two intractable camps, disbelieving anything our press says in favor of unsubstantiated echo chambers playing to confirmation biases.

Dark days, indeed.

You're right. This week, it feels like the Russians are controlling our country's business. The leaders there are probably gloating and toasting each other with the finest Vodka tonight.

I wonder if Donald Trump had LOST, would we still be seeing these investigations? After all, Republicans were hacked by the Russians too.

a reply to: Gryphon66

I presume you mean pence. Which is not that much better.

a reply to: diggindirt

We?
Not me dude. I stay clean I have no reason to ask for immunity.
Where were you when Bryan Pagliano asked and everyone swore it was because he did something to help Hillary commit a crime ???

Yes, thanks. I have Flynn on my mind.

Corrected my statement, thank you!

"Didn't Clinton..."
"What about Clinton..."
"But Obama..."

If Trump had lost, I think the play would have been to release something on the Clinton Foundation.

Just enough to keep the investigations going...

Glad to see you recognize history repeating. Different rules this time however, just watch.

a reply to: Gryphon66

Never mind already corrected.

Probably because the FBI already has enough evidence.

Maybe or maybe...

1. He knows little but his lawyers say just do it anyways just in case.
2. He broke the law and Trump knows little about it so CYA again.
3. He broke the law for Trump....
4. The whole story is based on zero facts...

The lion's den to which I was referring was the testimony before the committees---the testimony to which the letter refers. I have no idea how much of the DOJ is Trump's at this point. I haven't been following closely his firings and hirings so it seems to me that some of the Lynch or Holder hires could still be there, ready and eager to fling more stuff his way.... Insisting that he is guilty of something due to asking for immunity is simply uninformed and immature. Of that, he might be convicted due to his statements about the Mills immunity.

Neither the Senate nor the House have indictment powers.

It might be the US Attorney for DC.

It might be the DOJ.

a reply to: diggindirt

Yeah well he went to congress, the Senate and the FBI and not Jeff Sessions or the DOJ.
