WASHINGTON Mike Flynn, President Donald Trumps former national security adviser, has told the Federal Bureau of Investigation and congressional officials investigating the Trump campaigns 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 Trumps presidential campaign, and later one of Trumps 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. Flynns attorney, Robert Kelner, declined to comment.

It was too easy.

Exactly. And here’s what’s puzzling me, too. Flynn and Flynn, Jr. had deleted their Twitter accounts for a while, but last week, up pops Flynn, jr. again, tweeting about.... Pizza gate.
I think this is fake news too.
Seriously, it's all phony stuff. All of it. Drama for bored minds.
I support President Trump 100% always have and he has done nothing that I can see yet that would ruin my support and faith in him...
He knows what he is doing...he knows who he is working around, and he knows who he can trust and who he can't...I'm not there, unfortunately, or I would tell him what I thought, as if he would listen to a little American woman... ROFL...
It could be for a breach of the Logan Act. Until Trump was actually sworn into office, Flynn technically counted as a civilian and it would be illegal for him to discuss matters like lifting sanctions without authorization from the sitting President.
It might also be the Turkish payments thing if he’s failed to disclose them properly.
Either way it’s a sham. The Logan Act is a law from like 1799 that I don’t think has ever been used to prosecute anyone. This is just a way to spin up pressure on him to try and get him to squeal on someone else.
Now I am hearing that the whole “Immunity” request is Fake Newz. What a topsy turvy world these days.
No worries....I’m right there with you, regarding our dear POTUS!!
He’s fighting wars on SOOOOO many fronts :(
I’m frustrated, right now, that it seems like Lyin Ryan has his ear. Not good, in my book.
Its not fake news. Wording is the hang up. Read the lawyers statement.
What Type of Immunity...?
bkmk
What are you being so picky for?
A "journalist" is just a Democrat-party activist who works for a MSM outlet.
Every journalist is as credible as, say, John Podesta would be, or James Carville, or Cheryl Mills, or Donna Brazile, or George Stephanopoulos.
Once you understand that it will all make more sense.
The election of Donald Trump has driven them all completely stir-crazy.
They're running around like panicked rats, like chickens bereft of heads. They don't know what they're doing, have lost their senses.
Does Gen Flynn want immunity for following unlawful orders under the Obama Administration?
He seemed to do more than that.
