It seems like some believe that Flynn is going to "spill the beans" so to speak, but there

[still_one]

is absolutely no reason to assume that he will incriminate trump and the others.

Keep in mind that Flynn hates President Obama and Hillary. He knows he has violated the law, and does not want to pay the consequences.

I don't think it should be assumed that Flynn will incriminate trump and company. In fact there is every reason to assume that if he is given immunity, he will fall on the sword, say he is fully responsible for everything, and say the trump administration knew nothing about it.

1. He won't get an immunity deal....

Unless he can provide a bigger fish.

[uponit7771]

5. +1, he won't get immunity unless he has some solid shit on the Kremlin KKKlan

[workinclasszero]

17. Exactly

He spills the beans on the big fish or no immunity deal.

Easy peasy. One and done.

Shit or get off the pot general!

8. That's my thought. They won't just give him immunity.

They'll want to have some idea that he'll help move the investigation along - not dead end it.

9. I would hope so

[jalan48]

13. Couldn't Nunes and the Republicans agree to it?

[Adrahil]

18. Only kinda sorta....

but you highlight a big problem, of course. This the fox guarding the henhouse.

[tblue37]

16. Don't prosecutors and investigators demand a proffer, a preview, before

agreeing to some sort of deal?

[Adrahil]

19. usually. In addition...

the deal is usually contingent on the subject actually providing the promised testimony.

[Blue_Roses]

2. Yes

...and there is that...

[BumRushDaShow]

3. But this is assuming that only he would come forward

and not others.

The web of this is huge.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. Could be why no takers yet. . . nt

[denverbill]

6. Exactly what I think.

[GP6971]

7. I think it will depend on

whether or not his pension is at stake.

[LaydeeBug]

10. I think that's why there are no takers. nt

[roamer65]

11. Unless he can provide solid, convicting evidence on higher ups, they won't deal with him.

[Pablorama]

12. The FBI will want an offer of proof first.

The Justice Department must sign off on any deal.

[jumptheshadow]

14. Wouldn't it be necessary to incriminate others?

What if the government has tape of him and others in joint meetings? What if he lies during testimony and gets nailed with evidence that is unknown to him? Wouldn't that mitigate against any deal he would make?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. He also hates Trump for firing him and his aides trashing him as he left.

He also has to give a proffer. If he inculpates himself and no one else Congress will tell him to go fish.

20. Probably DSB. I saw a thread saying Nunes just said that Flynn never said he would

testify for immunity:
