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 Trump’s presidential campaign, and later one of Trump’s top aides in the White House, 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 though his lawyer but has so far found no takers, the officials said. Flynn’s attorney, Robert Kelner, declined to comment.

Has he been threatened ?
Maybe he’ll suffer an industrial accident.
probably just cautious, to prevent a perjury trap.. aka scooter libby.
Trump: “We must fight them (conservatives) in 2018!”
Ruh Roh.
“The Donald” might not be around in 2018 to fight against conservatives after all.
What does he need immunity from? He talked to Russian Ambassador and may or may not have talked about lifting of sanctions. Is that illegal? Perhaps not wise, but how is it illegal if he was the incoming Nat Sec Advisor for the President Elect/President? Can someone illuminate me here?
I understand he was let go because of not sharing the correct info with VP Pence. Is it perhaps the Turkish thing? He or his company received monies and he did not disclose it properly? Is that it?
And the stew thickens...
I’m thinking fake news.
The law is so complex that the Federal Govt can get anyone any time they want. They probably threatened Flynn in order to get him to make up lies about Trump.
They just broke story on FBN. Don’t think it’s fake,
Lifting on sanctions on Russia? What does that have to do with rigging the elections in 2016.
Were Russians able to rig the results in PA, MI. WI? FL?
If so, how were they able to do it? How does Flynn know about any such thing?
Did the Russians tell him they hacked into voter systems and changed results? Why was Jill Stein not able to find hacking in a hand recount in MI? or WI?
What crime would Flynn be seeking immunity for?
None of the above, NONE OF IT, makes any sense at all.
No part of it passes any kind of smell test.
And no one is interested in what he has to say.
So either this report is a fake report or Flynn lacks integrity. If it’s the latter, I understand why the President fired him.
Last weekend it was coming out that flynn flipped
Grant him immunity, he might roll over on Obama.
Flipped against Trump?
North played the dems like a Stradivarius during the Iran/Contra hearing...
They gave him immunity and thought he would spill the beans on the Gipper
Dems and RINOS don’t want Flynn. They want to CONTINUE getting fat on Americans and their job losses.
Yep, you are 100% correct. No need to set yourself up for a witch hunt
Think you hit on it.....he does not want to fall into a perjury trap.
considering he was trump’s man- let go by trump- most likely flipped against trump and will now be aiding and abetting the dems- I believe Flynn was a dem until recently, no?
Just that he flipped . You can find it on twitter. IIRC...cnn
