About immunity for Flynn

[BainsBane]

I think the FBI should charge him based on the evidence and then offer a deal to spare him the death penalty. That's the only deal the MoFo deserves. He's a traitor. Better the FBI takes its time to do it right than grant him immunity now.

1. i am extremely wary of *congress* granting immunity in criminal investigations

congress is usually not the proper vehicle for investigating actual crimes.
far too easy to abuse the power to grant immunity for the sake of competing agendas.

if a special prosecutor decides immunity is wise and appropriate and necessary in order to prosecute a bigger fish, then that's all well and good; but that's usually not the basis on which congress makes such decisions.

5. Last night on MSNBC

They had guests saying it was extremely unlikely that the House or Senate would grant immunity because doing so would interfere with the criminal investigation.

2. If Trump is okay with him testifying

I'm afraid that this is a red herring, just another diversion.

4. I'm not sure what's up with that

If Trump is feigning lack of concern for his deplorables, or if something is up.
