Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who briefly served as national security adviser to President Donald Trump, is seeking immunity from prosecution in exchange for testifying to those conducting investigations into the president’s ties to Russia, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
According to the report, Flynn made the offer to the FBI, the House intelligence committee and the Senate intelligence committee. All three entities are currently investigating whether Trump’s associates had contact with Russian officials during the 2016 presidential campaign. According to the Wall Street Journal, none of them have yet accepted Flynn’s offer.
Flynn’s attorney, Robert Kelner, confirmed in a statement that “discussions have taken place” with both committees, but declined to provide details on what those discussions entailed.
“General Flynn certainly has a story to tell, and he very much wants to tell it, should the circumstances permit,” Kelner wrote. “Out of respect for the Committees, we will not comment right now on the details of discussions between counsel for General Flynn and the House and Senate Intelligence Committees, other than to confirm that those discussions have taken place.”
While Flynn’s attorney didn’t explicitly confirm Flynn’s request for immunity, he argued that his client is the target of “unfounded allegations” and “outrageous claims,” and should not be blamed for seeking “assurances” prior to agreeing to testimony.
“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.
Oh now we're talking!
There have long been rumors that Flynn had cut a deal to spill his guts, and now it looks as if this is confirmation that he is looking to do exactly that.
Somehow I don't think that Donald Trump understands what this could mean to his presidency.
Yeah, right.Mike Flynn should ask for immunity in that this is a witch hunt (excuse for big election loss), by media & Dems, of historic proportion!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 31, 2017
Update: It looks like Flynn's request for immunity was denied.
I think that means that the intelligence folks already know what he knows.NEW: Immunity for Flynn is "not on the table," a senior Hill source tells @KenDilanianNBC, and immunity request was denied.— Ari Melber (@AriMelber) March 31, 2017

5 Key Moments in the Downfall of the Guy Sally Yates Warned Ya About, Michael Flynn
ReplyDeleteMichael Flynn was like a shooting star across Donald Trump’s firmament. Short and not so sweet. Seems like just yesterday when Trump was calling him “an invaluable asset to me and my administration.”
In fact, he has left a sour taste in everyone’s mouth, showing that you can spend 33 years in the military and still come out smelling like a jerkweed.
As George Takei quipped, “Flynn hopes to win the Immunity Challenge, but in “Survivor: White House” America gets to vote all those bastards off the island.”

DeleteRunning Out of Rungs on the Ladder
ReplyDeleteMike Flynn tells the FBI he's willing to talk, but only for immunity. But you only get immunity if you deliver someone else higher up the ladder. And there's only one person higher up the ladder.
...Flynn's lawyer states rather grandly that his client "has a story to tell and ... very much wants to tell it." But Alex Whiting of Harvard Law School argues pretty convincingly that what we learned last night likely means either that Flynn doesn't have a story prosecutors are willing to barter for or isn't yet willing to tell it.
So who knows what the immunity request means? Far more interesting to me is how Flynn ties in to the latest revelation in the unfolding Nunes debacle.
Let's walk through this.

Dem Intel Member On Flynn: 'Innocent People Don't Seek Immunity' (VIDEO)
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), a member of the House Intelligence Committee, on Thursday night suggested that a report that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn is seeking immunity from the intelligence committees shows that he is not "innocent."
"Generally, innocent people don't seek immunity," Swalwell said on CNN following a report in the Wall Street Journal that Flynn has asked for immunity in exchange for speaking with the intelligence committees in Congress.
Swalwell said that he would not support giving Flynn immunity.
"I don't want to hear from him in a setting where there are conditions," he said. "I think we should hear from him in the public and that we should get to the bottom of just exactly why was he working with Russia Today, who, as a former Defense intelligence agency director, he of all people knows that that agency is connected to Russia's intelligence services."
"And so to take money from them and then to work with Russian ambassador after sanctions were put on Russia and to lie to the vice president, that's powerful evidence that he knew what was going on," Swalwell continued. "And this was converging at the time of Russia's interference campaign."
When asked how the committee would decide if someone is granted immunity, Swalwell said, "Ideally, we work together as far as witness testimony."
"This is not anything that I or I believe my colleagues are familiar with. And so we want to hear from Michael Flynn. We want to hear from Paul Manafort, and Carter Page and Roger Stone," he added.

Devin Nunes Is Just the Errand Boy in the Trump-Russia Scandal
ReplyDeleteThe manic flailing before the cameras, the ridiculous lie about a ‘whistleblower’ who turned out to be two White House officials—no, the intel chair wasn’t the brains behind this farce.
For a week, Washington has stared slack-jawed at the antics of Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Flopsweat), the clown prince of the Trump-Russia intelligence and influence scandal.
To the bemusement of his colleagues on both side of the aisle, the media, and the intelligence community, the House Intelligence Committee chairman desperately spent his days racing toward every TV camera in sight, like a soft-chinned Jason Bourne plunging into battle.
Nunes’s manic flailing left a chain of confused, exhausted reporters trying to parse his daily lies, revisions, walkbacks, and pushbacks. His use of amateur intel slang was as cringeworthy as it was unconvincing. He did everything but show up in a fedora and trenchcoat. As he tried to change the subject from Russia and its influence over President Trump to the evil NSA’s boundless perfidy in “tappping” a poor, innocent, hard-working New York real-estate developer on behalf of that evil Kenyan Muslim Barack Obama, it became increasingly obvious that Nunes didn’t get this information from the intelligence community, but rather from the Trump White House.
Over the weekend, the first cracks in Nunes’s ludicrous story emerged.
...Nunes is a clumsy liar and it shows. He’s an errand boy sent by grocery clerks with just enough understanding of the game and the stakes to think this is going to work out because their base is always with them.
It’s not just the White House that’s in crisis. It’s increasingly obvious that the House of Representatives is also in trouble. Thursday’s Senate Intelligence Committee hearings were serious, probing, informative, and bipartisan; a marked contrast to the alternate reality Nunes and his allies tried to cast in their first hearings. For the House, Nunes has almost singlehandedly wrecked the credibility of its intelligence committee, raising the specter of either a Senate committee that dominates the investigation or a select committee with sweeping powers that will terrify this White House.

Hell, if the newly elected president diverts from and disregards Russia hacking to sway the election or meddle with democracy we are in deep shit with him at the helm.
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump had a four point plan to protect himself from the Russia scandal. That plan is collapsing.
ReplyDeleteThree of Trump’s four firewalls have already collapsed, and the fourth one is weakening
In hindsight, it’s becoming fairly clear how Donald Trump used the transition period and his earliest days in office to set things up so that he would be insulated from his Russia scandal. He put his co-conspirators in key positions so they could protect him. He groomed and recruited others who were already locked into key positions. He thought he’d walled off the inevitable investigation in at least four different ways. And yet now that’s mostly collapsing in on him.
This month’s meltdown of Congressman Devin Nunes appeared to have come out of nowhere. But looking back, Donald Trump and his strategists had been playing Nunes like a fiddle for months. They knew that, as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, he’d end up being in charge of one of the two congressional investigations into Trump-Russia. So they added the bumbling Nunes to the White House transition team just to make him feel special.
Then they recruited Michael Ellis as White House counselor, who had previously worked for Nunes (link). From that point they sat back and waited, until they needed to activate their asset. Once it became clear to Trump and his team that the Democrats on the House Intel Committee were able to make noise on Trump-Russia despite being in the minority, they used Ellis to trick Nunes into setting himself on fire so the flames would engulf the entire investigation. But because Nunes was so bumbling about it, the whole thing backfired and has made the Trump-Russia controversy bigger, not smaller.
But Nunes is far from the only firewall which Donald Trump thought he had in place. Trump appeared to have had the same plan in mind for Senate Intel Committee Chairman Richard Burr. But after the White House conned Burr into misleading a few reporters early on, and the scandal became public, Burr then decided to being playing things straight. Moreover, Trump wasn’t counting on Republican Senator Susan Collins siding with the Democrats to give them a majority on the committee, forcing a serious investigation to proceed. Burr couldn’t sabotage it now even if he wanted to, because unlike Nunes, he’s outnumbered. So that’s two assets down.

FBI agents descend on offshore casino run by Donald Trump business partner and campaign adviser
ReplyDelete...Feds are hitting closer to home for Trump by heading offshore. FBI agents descended today on a casino on the U.S. island territory of Saipan, which just happens to be run by a longtime Trump business partner and a former Trump campaign adviser.
According to a Bloomberg report, FBI agents entered the Saipan casino in a joint action with local authorities. A local politician characterized the action as an “investigation or raid” of the property (link). The casino is run by Mike Brown, who according to a prior Forbes article is a longtime protege of Donald Trump (link). In fact Brown is the former CEO of Trump Hotels and Casinos, which went on to file for bankruptcy three times. But Brown isn’t the only direct Trump connection to the property.
Former CIA Director James Woolsey, who was a foreign policy adviser to Donald Trump during his campaign and part of his transition period, is on the board of directors of that same casino. That means two people with close ties to Trump, one of them financial and one of them political, just saw their casino raided by the Feds.

DeleteHi Bill. Still trying to drum up viewers on other peoples blogs?
What the fuck is the Palmer report??
DeleteI think that Trump is figuring out ways he could destroy his life even if he gets immunity. There are probably many ways. He could ruin him financially. He could expose the skeletons of one of his loved ones. The list goes on. So unfortunately I am doubtful that Flynn will be completely forthright and honest even if he gets immunity. But at least its a start.
ReplyDeleteBlackmail of Flynn would be so obvious -- but doubtless Trump would do it, not being a very nuance mobster-type. Break a man, deny it later.
DeleteI, too, am doubtful Flynn will be completely honest. Why should we assume he will be when he has such a record of lying? At this point he's probably desperately thinking what he can actually say to give them what they want and at the same time, save his own skin.

DeleteWhat Trump and Flynn have said on immunity
ReplyDeletehttps://www.washingtonpost.com/video/c/video/fae73d66-1611-11e7-bb16-269934184168
Why Michael Flynn may be seeking immunity
ReplyDelete...The government isn’t going to simply give immunity just to hear what he has to say. “You would have a difficult time seeing a scenario whereby they would be willing to look the other way if they think he engaged in criminal misconduct,” Bussert said. “They might say, ‘Come in and help yourself. Come in to a cooperation agreement and we’ll help you at sentencing — but we’re not going to simply let you walk away from this.’ ”
But, he added, “What a congressional committee might feel could be completely different.” And that’s key.
Remember: Defense attorneys generally are quick to advise clients not to talk to prosecutors at all. That Flynn’s attorney publicly demonstrated his willingness to “tell his story” under the cover of immunity gives us a hint of what the strategy might be. As Alex Whiting also noted at the blog Just Security, Flynn’s attorney may be hoping that Congress, not prosecutors, grant him immunity before he tells them anything. Congress can’t make Flynn immune from prosecution, but lawmakers can make his testimony immune from being used against him — as has famously been done in the past.

Delete1) Freedom Caucus members who opposed the Trump Movement in 2016 were dead wrong to do so, as proven by we who are on the front lines of the real (hurting) world knew from the start that only Donald Trump could defeat Hillary Clinton and her liberal media minions. Thank God, literally, Trump won, or we'd hit the rocks under Obama 2.0 with Hillary at the helm. Guarandamnteed.
2) But they learned... and the Freedom Caucus just saved us from Obamacare 2.0, which would have codified the unaffordable, unsustainable, unwanted government-controlled medical Ponzi scheme that the vast majority demanded be stopped. If Barack Obama had proposed that government-forced unfunded insurance mandate, not a dang Republican would have voted for it. (Link Coulter: http://www.breitbart.com/…/ann-coulter-health-care-plan-si…/ )
3) Since when do the duly elected - actually standing on Republican planks to empower the people and build a great nation via government shrinkage - deserve to get clobbered by RINOs, liberals and neophyte public servants all at once, without Conservatives and Independents stiffening the spine and proclaiming we've got their back? Freedom Caucus members need to hear it. Especially those who since the Trump Movement roared across the country realized we're dead serious about D.C. fulfilling campaign promises to create a smaller, smarter government to salvage our sovereignty and solvency. I'll bet they hear loud and clear we'd suffer under TPP, blown up debt ceilings, bogus "stimulus" packages full new government entitlements created by politicians picking winners and losers in our fragile economy, and other boondoggles they may have previously been conjoled into supporting under GOPe leadership.
4) Interesting the Freedom Caucus is hammered for previously going along with Big Government types acting as Congressional leadership. Well, so did everyone else in their ranks! Lesson learned. I'm sure they now realize Speaker Paul Ryan - who's only adult life experience is growing government - does not speak for pro-private sector freedom-loving Americans.
Now, get it together, GOP. We didn't spill our blood, sweat and tears building tracks for the Trump Train to lead to a land of disarray and democrat empowerment.

ReplyDelete"The image I have in my head of the White House is a runaway train," Jeremy Bash, a former CIA and Defense Department chief of staff in the Obama administration, said in an interview with MSNBC anchor Brian Williams Thursday night, after former national security adviser Michael Flynn offered to testify in ongoing Russia probes in exchange for immunity.
He added that Justice Department officials would have to weigh whether Flynn's testimony would warrant protection from prosecution.
"For the Justice Department to agree to give somebody like him immunity it means they want him to turn and testify against someone higher up in the food chain," Bash said.
"Who is higher up in the food chain, higher than the national security adviser? There's really only one person. And so this shows that the jeopardy of criminal liability actually extends all the way to the top."

US intelligence officials had serious concerns about Michael Flynn’s appointment as the White House national security adviser because of his history of contacts with Moscow and his encounter with a woman who had trusted access to Russian spy agency records, the Guardian has learned.
US and British intelligence officers discussed Flynn’s “worrisome” behaviour well before his appointment last year by Donald Trump, multiple sources have said.
They raised concerns about Flynn’s ties to Russia and his perceived obsession with Iran. They were also anxious about his capacity for “linear thought” and some actions that were regarded as highly unusual for a three-star general.

Michael Flynn’s attorney made a prediction in November about Donald Trump issuing unusual pardons
ReplyDeleteThere may be more to Flynn’s immunity request than meets the eye
Here’s a tidbit tweeted by political pundit Jester, who tends to be quite insightful in his analysis despite his playful nickname. He dug up an older tweet from Robert Kelner, the attorney representing Mike Flynn who sent the immunity request letter to Congress and the FBI. Back in November, Kelner made what may now be a foreshadowing statement:
'A prediction: Donald Trump will make novel and unusual use of the President's pardon power. An under-utilized tool of political power.'
...But why was Flynn’s lawyer making predictions about Trump pardoning people just a few days after the election, back before Flynn incriminated himself by making his phone calls to the Russian Ambassador?
Was this an overconfident assertion by Flynn’s attorney that Trump would pardon his loyal sidekick Flynn for whatever crimes he committed during the campaign? Was it a veiled public warning shot at Trump, reminding him that Flynn has the dirt to take him down if he doesn’t end up pardoning him for his crimes?
With the limited understanding we have right now of Mike Flynn’s true intent and motivation regarding his immunity request, it’s difficult to parse just what Flynn’s attorney was specifically alluding to in his November tweet. But as the Flynn immunity storyline develops, the above tweet may be crucial to keep in the back of your mind. Before long, I suspect it’ll make perfect sense one way or the other.

I've never seen the President look anything other than orange. He turned white when the Mike Flynn news came in.

As the Trump administration’s Russia problem shows no sign of going away, protesting presidential tweets notwithstanding, it’s time to think about it properly. Understanding what the Kremlin’s up to helps to see the big picture. This means learning a bit of spy lingo. Espionage, like everything else, has its own culture—including special verbiage—which varies from country to country.

It looks like Flynn is willing to 'turn his back' on Trump — but the FBI may not need him to

EXCLUSIVE: Obama officials made list of Russia documents to keep them safe
ReplyDeleteObama administration officials were so concerned about what would happen to key classified documents related to the Russia probe once President Trump took office that they created a list of document serial numbers to give to senior members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, a former Obama official told NBC News.
The official said that after the list of documents related to the probe into Russian interference in the U.S. election was created in early January, he hand-carried it to the committee members. The numbers themselves were not classified, said the official.
The purpose, said the official, was to make it "harder to bury" the information, "to share it with those on the Hill who could lawfully see the documents," and to make sure it could reside in an Intelligence committee safe, "not just at Langley [CIA hq]."

Things Go From Bad to Worse for Devin Nunes and Team Trump
ReplyDeleteJust when you thought the tale of Russian influence on U.S. politics couldn’t get any more twisted, along comes evidence that the White House orchestrated a ‘leak’… to itself.

Nancy Pelosi Calls Out Devin Nunes’ ‘Bizarre’ Behavior on TODAY Show
ReplyDelete“I have a long experience in the intelligence committee — served with Republican and Democratic chairmen. I’ve been the top Democrat there myself. I’ve never seen behavior this bizarre on the part of the chairman.”
Pelosi said what every Democrat is certainly thinking at this point, that,
“We really have to take some steps back, and hope that in the administration there are some adults someplace who can say this is not fair to the American people.”
She also pointed out that “Whether the president was aware or not is one thing, the Trump administration certainly was, and it is very bizarre.”

“Why would these staffers give it to Nunes as opposed to walking down the hall and giving it to Trump,” asked contributor Steve Rattner.
ReplyDelete“It was all a show,” bellowed Scarborough. “It was all a made-for-TV reality show.”
Scarborough then got very personal, addressing Trump directly.
“It was as badly produced as The Apprentice,” he said before catching himself. “Just joking Donald. I don’t want to really piss him off. That would really piss him off.”
“They knew they had a pliable guy” offered Mike Barnacle, another contributor.
“They knew they had a dupe” Scarborough contended, speaking of Nunes. “They are stupid in the ways of Washington D.C. It always comes out, and they still don’t think that.”

Here’s why Comey may have stayed silent on the Russia probe before we voted — and it should terrify Trump
ReplyDelete...The article further reveals that among the many details Comey was unable to discuss during his Mar. 20 testimony to Congress was the fact that “for more than three decades the FBI has had Trump Tower in its sights,” monitoring its occupants’ deep ties to organized crime networks. According to the report, one former Trump Organization adviser, Felix Sater, fits the bill for the FBI’s source into the Russia-based crime ring.

Why FBI Can't Tell All on Trump, Russia
Doing so would jeopardize a long-running, ultra-sensitive operation targeting mobsters tied to Russian President Vladimir Putin—and to Trump.
The FBI apparently knew, directly or indirectly, based upon available facts, that prior to Election Day, Trump and his campaign had personal and business dealings with certain individuals and entities linked to criminal elements — including reputed Russian gangsters — connected to Putin.
