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.

An expanded version of this report appears on WSJ.com.

[Thrill]

1. THIS FROM THE GUY WHO WAS LEADING THE LOCK HILLARY UP CHANTS

And hes the real criminal

[malaise]

18. It's always an inversion of reality with these goons

Lock him up!

[luvMIdog]

20. yep they always project their own criminal thoughts and behaviors onto others

[GWC58]

2. And, as the saying goes

"The plot thickens."

[OnDoutside]

23. Or "The Thick plotten". You can't make this stuff up.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

38. Putin thickens the burial plots.

Watch your son's back, Mikey. Putin et al have eyes. We think (but are not sure) we need your testimony to help Make America Great Again.

[OnDoutside]

3. Clearly in that case he hasn't been shown any evidence

The FBI have, or are supposed to have.

[spanone]

4. well mikey, what would you possibly be prosecuted for?????

[Equinox Moon]

52. The nation requires BOTH

the truth and justice.

I'm out of clicks for the month and can't find my husband's log in. Can somebody post the 4 paragraphs?

[bathroommonkey76]

8. msnbc just did it.

greta just posited for flynn the ollie north strategy, which I, ahem, was the first to thrust upon DU

it's how the traitor north got his conviction reversed by a VERY crooked three judge panel (two of whom were reagan appointees, IIRC)

[tclambert]

47. I remember North saying, "I feel completely exonerated" AFTER appealing his criminal conviction

basing the appeal on the theory that the successful prosecution of his case somehow drew on information from his testimony to Congress, for which testimony Congress had granted him immunity. (Ollie, you confessed to several crimes. You got convicted. A friendly panel of judges ruled that the conviction must not have iedely solely on independently obtained evidence, but benefited from your confessions under oath, but also under an offer of Congressional immunity. That is not exoneration. That is getting off on the tiniest of legalistic loopholes.)

[Gabi Hayes]

48. two of those three judges were nothing but crooked hacks, especially this guy, who

went on to whitewater infamy, David Sentelle, Jesse Helms' protege:

this is a GREAT GREAT article. it will make your blood boil, though

so is this one, about Laurence Silberman, the other far right wing ahole, who let off North, and was knee deep in both the October Surprise AND Iran Contra!

51. Clean cut godfearing patriot.

Lawyers statement seems to be pointing in that direction.

Still , might surprise us.Naaah !

[C_U_L8R]

9. I'm curious but don't trust this guy

Nor his whackadoodle conspiracy theories.

[Qutzupalotl]

10. Why would he need immunity if he's flipped?

I thought flipped meant some sort of deal...?

[ihaveaquestion]

21. He's probably looking for protection too!

I think this tweet says it all ...

[dchill]

12. Testify to what, exactly? Trusted sources...

(Fox News, Sean Spicer, Donald Trump) say nobody did anything wrong!

[Wellstone ruled]

13. You could see this coming weeks ago.

His 100k plus Pension would go bye bye and he would not be able to joint any boards of directors of Military Contractors.

His ass is grass and the Legal Systems in the Lawn mower.

[Gabi Hayes]

14. Mr. Camel, meet Mr. Straw. are you wearing your back brace?

[ProudLib72]

15. Offer not to prosecute Flynn Jr

For promoting fake news that instigated a gunman's attack.

[Kingofalldems]

17. Nunes will decline his offer after conferring with the White House.

[TheBlackAdder]

22. Mike Flynn beter hire a food taster or rent the prison where the gov't kept X-Man Magneto.

[womanofthehills]

32. Malcolm Nance said last week that Flynn should not enter any room that has plastic on the floor

[zentrum]

24. Don't trust this guy.

He'll get his immunity and still not tell everything he knows. Will protect his most important wealthy friends, who will salt away millions for him or who are blackmailing him with knowledge of even more serious crimes.

Yes, I'm speculating but this guy may be a double flipper if ever there was one.

[dalton99a]

29. +1

[Dustlawyer]

43. My money is on the nature of a true Republican.

He will want revenge on some and will selfishly want everyone else to go down with him, especially Trump! At least I hope that is how it goes.

I told my family in December that July would be my pick for the over/under on the start of the impeachment process. it is looking to be on schedule. With a little luck this will help grind Congress to a halt.

[rpannier]

53. Immunity deals usually require telling everything

If they discover you've withheld or lied you lose the immunity and everything you've said is still usable against you
Now... telling very little and then Hair Douchengroper pardons him
That's another matter

[zentrum]

56. Ok. That's better.

45 won't pardon if 45 or Bannon are the ones he's naming.

[alanbudda]

25. Flynn..immunity

Testify under oath or Lock him up!

[McCamy Taylor]

26. GOP Congress and Trump do not want him to talk.

So, why would they grant him immunity to talk?

[notdarkyet]

27. Hurry up and get them all out. Before they break more stuff.

[Cognitive_Resonance]

30. Admitting there are crimes he needs immunity from. Go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass Go!

[world wide wally]

31. How soon before Putin offers him a cup of tea, a stroll past the Kremlin or to see the

view from the fourth story window?

[womanofthehills]

33. another good Andrea Chalupa tweet

Andrea Chalupa‏Verified account @AndreaChalupa 13m13 minutes ago

Trump might like prison. His cellmates would be happy to pee on him for free. #RussiaGate

[ecstatic]

34. NO immunity for traitors. Lock his lying ass up. We'll get to the truth with or without him

and certainly without giving him a pass on treason. There are mofos in jail for weed and other very minor crimes. Giving him a pass would be another slap in the face and more proof of 2 Americas.

[zentrum]

35. Besides, he won't really

.....flip and won't really tell everything he knows. Cons gotta con.

[OldRedneck]

36. Breaking news: Photo from outside White House --

[bathroommonkey76]

40. David Gergen said on CNN earlier that the WH is in panic mode over this news. n/t

[Generic Brad]

44. Things that make you go Hmmmmm.

If they are good, patriotic Americans, why, pray tell, would anyone in the White House be in panic mode?

[DesertRat]

54. Mike Luckovich always nails it!

[Dopers_Greed]

37. Juicy news...but I don't know if we should trust this guy

He's a true RW ideologue through-and-through. Testifying against his fellow fascists will significantly set back his cause, one that he was willing to commit treason to advance.

I'm expecting him to help give up a designated fall-guy and save his own hide in the process.

[zentrum]

46. Egg-zactly.

But the FBI, (whom I've never really trusted either), must be thinking this as well.

[WinstonSmith4740]

39. I guess Trump thought he could bully his way through this.

There never has been, and never will be, honor among thieves. Bridgette Kelly's about to bring Christie down, and now this. Be still my heart. I'm stocking up.

42. LOL hahahaha

[blue sky at night]

45. THIS SON-OF-A-BITCH...

STOOD ON THE STAGE IN CLEVELAND AND CHANTED "LOCK HER UP"...WELL I SAY DON'T GRANT HIM THE IMMUNITY...LOCK HIM UP WHEN HE LIES ON THE STAND!


SON-OF-A-BITCH, LOCK HIS ASS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GWC58]

50. Wow!!

Karma bit him in the ass, pronto!!

[Warren DeMontague]

49. Gee, I'm not an expert or anything

but that sounds like kind of a bad sign for the Administration.

[Tatiana]

55. Wow. Malcolm Nance totally called this.

I don't trust him as far as I can throw him. But I do think he will take the others down before playing the patsy.
