Did you also disagree with Holder, Lerner, Rice and Hillary's IT guy doing this too?

I believe they can put him in jail for contempt. Maybe even water board him (not really, but it is a good thought and consistent with The Donald's ideology). Maybe after a couple years in the coup, he will change his mind. Of course, by that time, his testimony will be moot as several others will have spilled the beans on him and nobody will care about what he has to say.


Man wants immunity in exchange for his testimony. We already know what he did; the question is who else was with him. When there is a "someone else" there is another source of the same info that Flynn could provide. Sorry senior Flynn; now is the time to talk. Later it will be of no interest and people might just forget that you are in jail.


As the Donald said, if you are innocent, you better start talking. Otherwise you look guilty as hell.

He waits until the special counsel investigating Russia, calls him to testify.

However, Flynn has made admissions that will probably put him in jail. And if the information in circulation is to be believed, others could share his fate. But we won't know till the investigations are wrapped up.
What has he done that would land him in prison?

Nevertheless, the outlook still looks bleak for Flynn. Even with a pleading of the 5th, Flynn could still be convicted if found guilty & thus sentenced to prison.
Be mindful that pleading the 5th is only a protection against self incrimination, not an insurance policy against actually being convicted.

Sorry, but the media doesn't enforce the law, or head investigations.

Pleading the fifth works for testimony, trying to do it to avoid handing over documents can in fact land you in jail.
