Senate intel panel declines Flynn immunity offer - Polidicks

[quote]The Senate Intelligence Committee has turned down former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s request for immunity in exchange for his testimony in the panel’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election — at least for now. The committee is not receptive to the offer “at this time,” according to NBC's Kasie Hunt. The panel's investigation into Russian interference in the election is ongoing, and the decision does not necessarily rule out such a deal in the future.

I really hope this is the SIC's way of just saying "thanks but no thanks, we already have everything you could give us." :v:

He's attempting an Oliver North: [Media]https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/847766558520856578[/media] [Media]https://twitter.com/RepAdamSchiff/status/847790067716427780[/media] [Media]https://twitter.com/RepAdamSchiff/status/847851033653129216[/media]

I think they're making a mistake not accepting an immunity offer. Flynn's gotta have some documents that could tear the administration down and turn it into a rubbish dump. His hands are all over everything and I wouldn't be surprised if he's really fucked up by committing treason but I'd rather see one fuckwit go then no-one being told shit

This is like watching House of Cards in real life.

I'm just here hoping he'll go for a "Fuck it, if I'm going down you're all going down with me." towards the administration due to this and testify anyways, but that's kind of wishful thinking.

Flynn jumped the gun.

You may apply again in one (1) month. Thank you, and have a safe day.

This likely means they have enough dirt they don't need him and can lob him in prison alongside Trump.

I sincerely hope they don't pull out a Nisman on him. [editline]at[/editline] I mean, if any info he has is true.

The fact that they still haven't received his background check to crosscheck with testimony and new developments speaks volumes to how fucking guilty he is.

[QUOTE=GrizzlyBear;52037926]This likely means they have enough dirt they don't need him and can lob him in prison alongside Trump.[/QUOTE] From their wording it sounds more like the investigation is at too early a stage to make it worth gathering his testimony. i.e. They don't know if they'll get enough dirt without having to turn someone in the inner circle. The "yet" thing is the keyword in the whole statement.

[QUOTE=GrizzlyBear;52037926]This likely means they have enough dirt they don't need him and can lob him in prison alongside Trump.[/QUOTE] From the looks of it, it's actually because it's way too early and they don't want to risk giving someone immunity over something they could have easily figured out themselves during the course of the investigation and have him walk away.

If Trump is removed from office, will everyone that toxxed on Trump losing get unbanned?

[QUOTE=Mr. Sarcastic;52042522]If Trump is removed from office, will everyone that toxxed on Trump losing get unbanned?[/QUOTE] I sont think so since Trump won the election. Unless the whole election is made to be null and void. Then there will be chaos.

[QUOTE=Mr. Sarcastic;52042522]If Trump is removed from office, will everyone that toxxed on Trump losing get unbanned?[/QUOTE] Nah, he still became president, and that's what a lot of the Toxxes were for. Unless someone was very specific with their requirements. Much like a genie, be careful what you wish for, it'll be what you asked for but not what you wanted.

Flynn: "Give me immunity and I'll tell the truth." Senate: "LOL" *Denied* But in all honesty he doesn't deserve immunity, tell the truth.
