2. He'd better have some tip top security

He might meet with an unexpected fall from a balcony or his fugu fish might not be "prepared" correctly.

9. That's just what I was thinking. He's got to watch for Russians...

as well as domestic hitmen.

4. Fuck that

He won't tell prosecutors a thing, and then he will have immunity.

6. Granted, IDK how it works on this high of a level but

in lower courts, they usually they don't grant Immunity unless there is something big to divulge.

12. They won't be that gullible. They'll work out a deal that he...

provide valuable info or there will be no deal.

7. Wow!

This thing is moving pretty fast.

10. Not necessarily. He just offered. Doesn't mean the offer will be or should be accepted. I imagine

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.

13. More of the WSJ story:

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 Mr. Trump’s presidential campaign, and later one of Mr. Trump’s 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 wasn’t 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.

14. "Willing to" does not equal "to". ... no takers so far (Flynn's unreliable). . . nt
