Hillary officials asked for immunity too. That doesn't mean they turned against Hillary. It just means they wanted protection from possibly out of control prosecutors. There are always some discrepancies, or seeming discrepancies, when we describe events more than once. Humans are not invariably 100% precisely accurate. An overly aggressive prosecutor will use such discrepancies to allege prior perjury. The threat of a perjury charge is then used to coerce a witness to do things the witness does not want to do. So the lawyer for a witness will usually insist on immunity in return for testimony. Otherwise the witness would be crazy to waive a fifth amendment right to remain silent. Flynn seeking immunity means nothing.
