WASHINGTON—Mike Flynn, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, has told the Federal Bureau of Investigation and congressional officials investigating the Trump campaign’s potential ties to Russia that he is willing to be interviewed in exchange for a grant of immunity from prosecution, according to officials with knowledge of the matter.
As an adviser to Mr. Trump’s presidential campaign, and later one of Mr. Trump’s top aides in the White House, Mr. Flynn was privy to some of the most sensitive foreign-policy deliberations of the new administration and was directly involved in discussions about the possible lifting of sanctions on Russia imposed by the Obama administration.
He has made the offer to the FBI and the House and Senate intelligence committees through his lawyer but has so far found no takers, the officials said.
Mr. Flynn’s attorney, Robert Kelner, declined to comment.

September 25, 2016, Meet the Press, Mike Flynn.
...or he is PLANNING to lie.
Thank you.....
Flynn said in September you only ask for immunity when you’re guilty.
The General Flynn story from WSJ is fake news. As usual, no sources named. WSJ is same blog that called PewDiePie a Nazi. Totally fake.
Could not have said it better myself.
Flynn’s lawyer said it is true, not fake news!
What did he do wrong?
I guess Flynn did offer the FBI, House and Senate Com. Only the House has not confirmed.

No, his lawyer’s statement is intentionally being taken out of context, because they need a new smoke and mirrors story, so they can ignore all the Nunes stuff. They’re lying through omission.
Exactly. Lawyers statement is basically telling them this is a witch hunt.
Was discussing sanctions with the Russian ambassador, as is alleged of Flynn, a crime? Wasn’t the alleged crime, collusion with the Russians to influence the outcome of the presidential election? I don’t think Flynn is guilty of the latter.
Yes. Flynn is a patriot. Obama’s the one hiding out on a remote island.
It’s more Fake News
DENIED. This is a fake news story. Both House and Senate say no such discussions have taken place.
Of course, we do have the Ollie North model. . . .
This story just went up on drudge after it was declared fake over 2 hours ago.
More of the fabricated out of BS, ‘Russia got Trump elected’, narrative the globalist are attempting to use push for impeachment.....Trump needs to push back by insisting on the prosecution of Hillary & Obama for the real REAL CRIMES of leaking classified information.
Putting the Demoncrats on the defensive is the answer.
why he chose Sessions as AG ,I’ll never know. Need a killer in there....Sessions just too nice a guy.
Immunity from prosecution for WHAT, exactly?
Talking to the Russian ambassador is not a crime, AFAIK.
