(7,788 posts)the FBI has a lot to say about this. They may want first shot at an interview, if they haven't already. They may or may not support immunity, depending on the strength of the case.
It's often been discussed that the House/Senate investigations can conflict and harm the FBI investigation....have to be careful that it doesn't in this case. FBI professionals first.

(31,801 posts)WASHINGTONMike 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 Mr. Trumps presidential campaign, and later one of Mr. Trumps 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 though his lawyer but has so far found no takers, the officials said.
It wasnt clear if Mr. Flynn had offered to talk about specific aspects of his time working for Mr. Trump, but the fact that he was seeking immunity suggested Mr. Flynn feels he may be in legal jeopardy following his brief stint as the national security adviser, one official said.
