1. Jinx. You owe me a beverage.

2. Might as well just say guilty as charged...thats exactly what it screams

[KingCharlemagne]

6. On the contrary. Even for a shitbird like Flynn, invocation of the

Fifth Amendment right not to testify against oneself carries no imputation of guilt whatsoever. It is an absolute right and its invocation cannot be used to infer guilt on the part of the person invoking it.

[sunonmars]

8. except thats how everyone will see it, guilty as hell.

[KingCharlemagne]

10. And they will be wrong. Even for shitbirds like Flynn, the presumption

of innocence still holds.

3. make him come in and take the fifth live on television.

time after time

[BumRushDaShow]

4. I think everyone knew that he would be taking so many fifths

that he could open his own distillery!

[sunonmars]

5. and start issuing arrest proceedings too.

[Phoenix61]

7. Apparently Flynn can be manipulated by false praise as easily as Twitler

No wonder Twitler likes him so much, two peas in a pod.

9. As he was instructed.......

by dolt 45; "stay strong" . In other words, don't implicate me. They aren't even trying to hide it now

[SonofDonald]

11. I hope he does take the fifth.

He wanted immunity, now he'll take the fifth when he didn't get it.

That's fine with me, it's obvious that without immunity he's going to hide behind the fifth so it's open season on how deep they're going to bury him in the prison system, and I hope it's deep.

No more Mr nice guy for him, he had his chance for a lighter sentence by spilling he beans, now he'll be eating lots if them in the hole, bet he'll be popular where he ends up, no uniform, no fake social standing, a massive failure as a human being.

Whatever he gets is bought and paid for in advance, his big man attitude won't fly where he's going, just another pasty old white man with zero influence.

I hope he dies in prison.
