Flynn just wants to testify about how the "Russia stuff" is nonsense, but does not want to be charged later about his involvement with Turkey if there is any alleged misdeed that he can be indicted for.
I wanted to pitch for the Yankees, but that didn't happen either...
True but that would be like if Hillary asked for immunity. I can only imagine the mind numbing meltdown on the right if that had happened. They were already chanting, "lock her up" at the GOP convention. Who was that guy that led that chant? Oh yah, Flynn. Man, talk about karma.

How would that be worth giving him immunity? If you ask for immunity you supposedly have some great leverage. Please don't charge me for a crime is not leverage.
No problem, if true. The minute the Intelligence Committee (or anybody else) charges Flynn with any crime, Trump immediately writes a Presidential Pardon for him.
Instant, irrevocable, immunity!
Isn't Congressional Intelligence Committee an oxymoron?
”And if you’re not guilty of a crime, what do you need immunity for, right?" — Donald Trump

“The reason they get immunity is because they did something wrong. If they didn’t do anything wrong, then no reason.” — Donald Trump
Trump was both right and ridiculous because nobody is innocent.
We have so many laws on the book that even the government have lost track. Even somehow we can magically remember and understand all the laws, we can't guarantee that something we say wouldn't incriminate ourselves.
Personally, I would do the same thing, immunity or no testimony.
One, we don't know that Flynn has asked for immunity.
Second, we don't know what Flynn has to say.
Remember that a number of people got immunity in Hillary's espionage investigation, does that automatically mean Hillary violated the law?
ASKED for IMMUNITY? - yes he did
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.
NBC’s Peter Alexander confirmed part of the WSJ report:
Former National Security Adviser Mike Flynn is in discussions with the House and Senate intelligence committees to receive immunity from prosecution in exchange for questioning about potential ties between Russia and officials in President Donald Trump's campaign, his lawyer said Thursday.

you need it written on stone by God or just across the sky?

That's rich. Boohoo. We're all guilty. Right wing victimhood is hilarious.

Flynn's lawyer may have asked for immunity, but it is not confirmed.
Flynn's lawyer never said they asked for immunity, his statement was very vague.
