If he can give up Trump I would immunize him, put him in witness protection, and help him start a new life somewhere in some isolated hamlet.

Trump and the others will pay for their crimes in due time, with or without Flynn's help. Or how about this: Testimony in exchange for taking the Death Penalty off the table? I'd be ok with that.

There are more choices than he goes free or rots in prison. How about he is set to serve life but could get his sentence reduced to ten years for testifying? These sorts of plea bargains are made all the time, and they are all about reduced sentences.

in exchange for a lighter sentence. This way, we can nail the traitors and disgrace them as they so deserve.

It would stink to let Flynn off scot-free, but if his testimony would truly mean sinking Trump and his lieutenants, I'd be inclined to let Flynn walk, and focus instead on the greater good.
