I thought this sounded familiar.........
Nigga stole word for word like it was some logical response to what I said. I post random high thoughts on here mostly. Trust, you DO NOT want to debate. Cite your sources instead of blatantly plagiarizing the National Review.
@GAMETHEORY You need to go have a fucking seat.
better hear what he has to say before you give him immunity.
Flynn's lawyer pretty much confirmed it without confirming if that makes sense. It's clear he's trying to get a deal for snitching.
He just mad the Chinese backed out of that Kushner building deal
Yep point-blank as the memo says he has a story to tell
You know you have to ignore Boro
Same shit I was thinking.
Him wanting to protect himself doesn't necessarily mean he has something damaging

Those mofos was banking on that deal that shit would have gotten the kushers out of 400 mill in debt plus they would have kept 100 mill for themselves lol
If that was the case he would just plead the fifth. It's some deep shit going on and he knows quite a bit about what's going on don't forget this picture

Donald Trump's adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner met with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, the White House said on Thursday – in just the latest explosive revelation about a growing list of contacts between Trump associates and the Kremlin.
Kushner, the husband of Ivanka Trump who the president brought in as a top White House advisor, met with the Russian ambassador inside Trump Tower in December, the New York Times reported Thursday.
Also in on the meeting was Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, who stepped down as national security advisor after revelations about his contacts with Kislyak as Trump prepared to take office.
At the time Trump Tower was the unofficial White House, and every coming and going was in public - except those which the Trump transition team organized to keep under wraps.
Kislyak, regarded as one of Russia's most important spies, was therefore smuggled in by the Trump team for the meeting.

President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, met with Russia's ambassador to the U.S. in December, it was reported Thursday. Kushner was at the President's side Thursday on a trip to Newport, VA, and then with him when he returned to the Oval Office

Plenty of reporters in the lobby: Trump Tower was staked out by scores of reporters from dawn every day in December - but Russia's most senior diplomat, a man believed to be its top spy, was smuggled in by Jared Kushner
It is unclear where they met, but it is known that Kushner and Flynn had offices a floor below the one used by the then-president-elect.
'They generally discussed the relationship and it made sense to establish a line of communication,” White House spokeswoman Hope Hicks told the Times.
“Jared has had meetings with many other foreign countries and representatives — as many as two dozen other foreign countries’ leaders and representatives,' she added.
Trump has tasked Kushner with spearheading a host of complex issues, including Middle East peace initiatives.
But his contacts with Kislyak – who intelligence figures are said to regard Kislyak as a recruiter of intelligence assets – bring Kremlin contacts even closer to home.
The high-rise get together lasted about 20 minutes, Hicks said. Kushner hasn't met with him since, she said.
There was no mention of the meeting with the Kremlin big in the president-elect's public schedule, or in the reports compiled by pool reporters who set up camp in the lobby of Trump Tower from the November election until Trump took office.
The White House put out the information on a day when Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced he was recusing himself from any investigations related to the presidential elections – hours after it was reported that he met with Kislyak two times during the presidential campaign season.
One meeting occurred inside Sessions Senate office this fall.
'My staff recommended recusal. They said that since I had involvement with the campaign I should not be involved in any campaign investigation,' Sessions told reporters in a hastily-called press conference in the Department of Justice.
Before the press conference, Trump was asked if he knew Jeff Sessions had met Russia's ambassador before the election - and said: 'I wasn't aware at all.'

Flynn’s Public Offer to Testify for Immunity Suggests He May Have Nothing to Say

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn told the FBI and Congress that he is willing to testify in exchange for immunity. But it’s not a serious offer, and it suggests he has nothing to say (or is not willing to say anything that would incriminate others). Although Flynn’s lawyer, Robert Kelner of Covington & Burling, refused to comment for the article, he tweeted out a statement teasing that “General Flynn certainly has a story tell, and he very much wants to tell it, should the circumstances permit.”
As an experienced lawyer, Kelner will know that the Justice Department would never grant immunity for testimony on these terms. Prosecutors would first require that Flynn submit to what’s called a proffer session in which Flynn would agree to tell everything he knows in exchange for the prosecutors agreeing not to use his statement against him. Only after the prosecutors heard what Flynn could offer in terms of evidence against others, and had an opportunity to assess his credibility, would they be willing to discuss any grants of immunity or a cooperation deal. At a minimum, the prosecutors would require Flynn’s lawyer to make a proffer outlining the information that Flynn could provide.
The fact that Flynn and his lawyer have made his offer publicly suggests that he has nothing good to give the prosecutors (either because he cannot incriminate others or is unwilling to do so). If he had something good, Flynn and his lawyer would approach the prosecutors quietly, go through the proffer process in confidence, and reach a deal. Why? Because prosecutors have an interest in keeping their investigation secret, and Flynn’s lawyer knows that. The last thing Flynn’s lawyer would do if he thought he had the goods would be to go public, because that would potentially compromise the criminal inquiry and would certainly irritate the prosecutors, the very people Flynn’s lawyer would be trying to win over.
I suspect that Flynn’s lawyer is really targeting Congress. He is hoping that one of the Congressional committees will take the bait and grant him immunity in exchange for his testimony. If that happened, it would be extremely difficult to prosecute Flynn after he testified. Remember Oliver North? North testified to Congress under a grant of “use immunity,” and even though Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh took stringent measures to wall off his prosecution staff from any information about North’s immunized testimony, the D.C. Circuit overturned North’s conviction, finding that Walsh could not establish that the witnesses who testified against North had not been tainted by exposure to North’s widely publicized testimony. Flynn’s lawyer appears to be hoping for the same result here: Flynn gets immunity, his testimony in Congress gets aired and reported everywhere, and it becomes virtually impossible for prosecutors to bring a case against him.
It is not going to work. The Justice Department will tell Congress that a grant of immunity at this stage could compromise its ongoing criminal investigation. Already, statements from the Congressional committees suggest no interest in granting immunity to Flynn. Flynn’s lawyer appears to have hoped that publicity, pressure or politics might cause one of the Congressional committees to jump. Flynn’s lawyer may have concluded that at a minimum the public offer would help change the atmospherics around his client, which could help him at a future stage. But the ploy feels desperate, indicating that Flynn may not have much to offer. And the very fact that Flynn’s lawyer is making a play for immunity at this stage suggests that he has some fear that his client faces real criminal exposure.

Flynn or his lawyer would never say anything about immunity unless a deal is in place..
Which is also why no one is commenting on this.. because of this leak... They probably wouldn't offer him immunity anyway unless they really needed him.
This is probably an example of a leak backfiring.
Either way.. it's Vanglorious to see this shit show coming down and we aren't even 3 months in...
I don't get why we must go back and forth over this..... Honestly It doesn't even matter if Flynn flipped or it's fake news.. Who cares..
Let's focus on what's most important... We aren't even 3 months in and this dude has suffered more scandals then you can shake a stick at...
Does anybody REALLY think he is going to make it 4 years... when we are struggling just to get to 100 days.

Did anybody hear Rachel Maddow mention that at the end of all this, theres a possibility that Trump will still be President?
I try not to let my hopes get too high. I still dont believe they have the smoking gun on Trump.
These headlines are sensational, mis-leading and more about getting clicks .
