Mike Flynn Offers to Testify in Exchange for Immunity

ABC News vs Wall Street Journal.

Did you guys miss this quote from the article?

Mr. Kelner, Mr. Flynn’s attorney, decried the “unfounded allegations, outrageous claims of treason” and other charges by lawmakers and media commentators.

“No reasonable person, who has the benefit of advice from counsel, would submit to questioning in such a highly politicized, witch-hunt environment without assurances against unfair prosecution,” he said.

Reads to me like the lawyer is basically admitting he is working on an immunity deal for Flynn.


Funny thing is, no one is taking him up on it because they already know all the shit Flynn has to offer.

Fired U.S. national security adviser Michael Flynn wants immunity in Russia probe
U.S. senator cites Russian 'propaganda on steroids' during 2016 election
Michael Flynn's attorney says the former U.S. national security adviser is in discussions with the House and Senate intelligence committees on receiving immunity from "unfair prosecution" in exchange for questioning.

Robert Kelner says no "reasonable person" with legal counsel would answer questions without assurances.

Flynn was fired from his job as President Donald Trump's first national security adviser after it was disclosed that he misled the vice-president about a conversation he had with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. during the transition.

Flynn's ties to Russia have been scrutinized by the FBI and are under investigation by the House and Senate intelligence committees.

'Propaganda on steroids'
Click to expand...

Earlier in the day, the top Democrat on the U.S. Senate intelligence committee accused Russia on Thursday of mounting a campaign of "propaganda on steroids" seeking to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and listed several areas of concern about possible links to Republican Donald Trump's campaign.

"I will not prejudge the outcome of our investigation," Senator Mark Warner told a rare public intelligence committee hearing on alleged Russian efforts to influence elections.

"We are seeking to determine if there is an actual fire, but so far there is a great, great deal of smoke."

Warner said he wants Trump to uncover Russian activities during the election, but he chastised the president for what he called "wild and uncorroborated accusations" that his campaign was wiretapped.

Lawmakers heading the committee are focusing squarely on Russia's attempts at undermining the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Senator Ron Wyden is imploring the committee to "follow the money" on Russia. The Oregon Democrat said fishy real estate deals and money laundering might mean that the "Russian government may be only a step or two away" from American institutions.

Clint Watts, with the Foreign Policy Research Institute Program on National Security, suggested that the committee also "follow the dead bodies." He said several Russians tied to the investigation into Kremlin disinformation activities have been killed in the past three months — not only in Russia, but in Western countries as well.

New information about interference
Thursday afternoon, White House spokesperson Sean Spicer invited the top Republican and Democratic members of the Senate and House of Representatives intelligence panels to review new material relevant to the investigation into Russia's alleged interference in the U.S. presidential election.

"There has been information ... material that has ... come to light, and that we want to make sure that the people who are conducting the review have that information," Spicer told reporters without giving details about the information.

"We have invited them up to view it in a classified setting," he said, referring to the Republican chairs and Democratic ranking members of the Senate and House intelligence committees.

Later Thursday, the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee accepted the invitation, but said he doesn't know if the information is the same as what was reviewed by Republican Devin Nunes, the committee chairman.

Representative Adam Schiff said the White House's handling of the materials raises "profound questions," noting that White House staff has no reason to pass information to a congressional committee chairman rather than just delivering it directly to the president.

Accusations 'groundless,' says Putin



Earlier Thursday, Putin again dismissed what he called "endless and groundless" accusations of Russian meddling in the U.S. election, describing them as part of the U.S. domestic political struggle. He also said he is ready to meet with Trump at an upcoming Arctic summit.

The hearing Thursday was to address how the Kremlin allegedly uses technology to spread disinformation in the U.S. and Europe. Warner and the panel's chairman, Senator Richard Burr, a Republican from North Carolina, provided an update Wednesday on the committee's investigation into activities Russia might have taken to alter or influence the 2016 election and whether there were any campaign contacts with Russian government officials that might have interfered with the election process.

Pledging co-operation, Burr and Warner said they would steer clear of politics in their panel's probe of Russian meddling. They made a point of putting themselves at arm's length from the House investigation that has been marked by partisanship and disputes.

Calls for Nunes to step down
Democrats have called for Nunes to recuse himself because of his ties to the Trump team, especially because the investigation includes looking at contacts that Russians had with Trump's associates.

Nunes, a California Republican, met with a secret source on the White House grounds last week to review classified material, which he says indicates that Trump associates' communications were captured in "incidental" surveillance of foreigners. Nunes says he sees no reason to step aside.

White House says it didn't know Michael Flynn lobbied for Turkey last year
Latest link from Flynn to overseas entities calls into question Trump team's vetting of candidates
President Donald Trump was not aware that his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, had worked to further the interests of the government of Turkey before appointing him, the White House says.

The comments came two days after Flynn and his firm, Flynn Intel Group Inc., filed paperwork with the Justice Department formally identifying him as a foreign agent and acknowledging that his work for a company owned by a Turkish businessman could have aided Turkey's government. Vice-President Mike Pence on Thursday called the action "an affirmation of the president's decision to ask General Flynn to resign."

At the White House, asked whether Trump knew about Flynn's work before he appointed him as national security adviser, press secretary Sean Spicer said, "I don't believe that that was known."

Pence said in an interview later with Fox News that he also did not know about Flynn's paid work.

Flynn and his company filed the registration paperwork describing $530,000 worth of lobbying before Election Day on behalf of Inovo BV, a Dutch-based company owned by Turkish businessman Ekim Alptekin. In an interview with The Associated Press, Alptekin said Flynn did so after pressure from Justice Department officials.

The filing this week was the former head of the Defence Intelligence Agency's first acknowledgement that his consulting business furthered the interests of a foreign government while he was working as a top adviser to Trump's presidential campaign.

Flynn's disclosure that his lobbying — from August through November— may have benefited Turkey's authoritarian government led by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan came as Flynn has drawn scrutiny from the FBI for his contacts with Russian officials. Trump fired Flynn last month for misleading Pence and other administration officials about his contacts with Russia's ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak.

Press secretary unsure of what Flynn disclosed

In paperwork filed with the Justice Department's Foreign Agent Registration Unit, Flynn and his firm acknowledged that his lobbying "could be construed to have principally benefited the Republic of Turkey." The lobbying contract ended after Trump's election in November, according to the paperwork.

A spokesman for Flynn, Price Floyd, said the general was not available for an interview Thursday. Floyd referred the AP to Flynn's filing in response to questions about why he and his firm had decided to register this week.

Flynn's attorney, Robert Kelner, declined to comment through a spokesman for his law firm, Covington & Burling. The Turkish Embassy also didn't respond to questions from the AP.

Spicer said he didn't know what Flynn had disclosed about his background and lobbying work during the White House's vetting of him for appointment as national security adviser.

We only read real news AKA pro-trump news here in the Trump Rally thread.

I've appreciated especially your double posting the BBC today. And I quote...


So far, no single piece of evidence has been made public proving that the Trump campaign joined with Russia to steal the US presidency - nothing.

Not yet nope.

The testimony about Trump getting fooled by the Russian fake news Tweets was pretty entertaining though.
#fakenews.

Another entertaining part of the day was Spicer trying to claim it doesnt matter where Nunes got his information from, the information is the focus... And then in his next breath he complains about intelligence leaks.

Sources revealed
It looks like the call to Rep. Nunes came from inside the White House

The two current White House staffers who allegedly gave Nunes this information were Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the senior director for intelligence at the National Security Council, and Michael Ellis, a lawyer who works on national security issues at the White House Counsel’s Office.

Meet Ezra Cohen-Watnick, The Secret Source At The Center Of Trump Russia Probe

Who is Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the 30-year-old White House aide who could be a key player in the blockbuster investigation into Russian ties to President Trump and his campaign?

Cohen-Watnick, 30, who the New York Times reports provided key information in the probe, is a once fast-rising protege of ousted Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn with deep roots in suburban Washington D.C.’s Jewish community.

The paper identified him as one of two staffers who explosively gave information on intelligence gathering in the Russia probe to Republican House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes, a move that potentially compromised the lawmaker’s role in the bombshell probe.
