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.

I don’t see anything on Dobbs’ Twitter. All I see there is a Tweet re. the original WSJ piece.
Could be..might be catch a leaker story
Yes, the “conservatives” paid off by Koch Bros and voted for Paul Ryan as Speaker.
Dobbs just reported on his show that Flynn did not offer to testify in exchange for immunity.
A "den of vipers" is too kind a description for our political leadership.
Trump should just address the people and let them know the only solution involves tar, feathers, ropes and bloodshed.
Ap says lawyer says he is in talks with congressional panels..basically..not going to talk if subjected to unfair prosecution
Why won’t Trump address this shit? Infuriates me to no end. But he’s in the know. Not me. Just irked.
Flynn lawyer released statement. He is looking for protection
Perhaps, but even if he did, to me it would have been understandable given that he was the incoming Nat Security Adviser, especially if the Russians brought it up first. The sanctions were nothing but a BS attempt to embarass the Trump administration, imposed by that snake, Obama, in his fit of pique. I'm looking forward to this. It looks like Flynn was thrown under the bus by some under Trump, but things may not be what they seem on further examination. I really don't understand the quickness of many here to condemn Flynn as a “liar,” as we are talking here about a many who put himself in danger repeatedly for his country and had a distinguished and respected military career. I believe Flynn contributed significantly to Trump's win, especially when so many other senior military officers came out so vociferously against him. How quick we are to forget that.
Fake news per Lou Dobbs
Lawyer for flynn has released statement. He is looking for protection
so for us law incompetents protection is not the same as immunity- correct?
This is against Obama and the deep state.
Doesnt clarify. Says he has a story to to tell but basically won’t do it withoutprotection against unfair prosecution
Flynn’s a Democrat and Obama Administration refugee.
Who’s idea it was to bring him in to the Trump admin, I don’t know.
It was a bad idea.
I know...just that I’ve seen folks warn about that site (here, on other threads). Just wanted to offer that.
It would be a dream come true....if that tweet were true, wouldn’t it???
Flynn was dumped by Obama before Flynn was dumped by Trump....
I saw that, but since Louise Mensch reported it, I figured it was more a WISH than a fact....
We will have to see. If Louise didn’t have sources before, she has confabulated enough that she has Deep State sources now!
Thank you. Likewise!
