My concern is that Gen Flynn will get immunity but blame it on the "greys". (Original Post) CK_John Mar 2017 OP
Yes you have valid concern TEB Mar 2017 #1
You would think he'd have to sign an Immunity agreement first ? Do they sign these ? OnDoutside Mar 2017 #2
He has to give a proffer first . He might also have to make an allocution to escape jail time. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2017 #3
DOJ will know every word of his testimony before immunity is granted (if it is). CincyDem Mar 2017 #4

They'll know names, dates, and times. And the immunity offer will be contingent on open testimony of those same facts. He may blame it on the greys and if he gets immunity for that it's because someone in DOJ rightly or wrongly decided that would move the peanut forward in whatever case they're trying to build.

The idea that people get immunity for something and then surprise the gov't...that's the stuff of TV. Real world, the government knows exactly what it's buying when the cost is letting someone walk on a range of prosecutable crimes.

There are few surprises in immunity deals. They'll know exactly what he he's going to say and they'll investigate it rigorously for loopholes before signing the deal. And the deal will be contingent upon him revealing all in sworn testimony, if he starts twisting things the immunity deal can be voided.

I sure hope the FBI has several armed guards around Flynn at all times right now.
