A Democrat/Obama political hack prepares to 'testify' with 'a lot' of 'information' in this obviously cooked up witch hunt. After her blatantly partisan grandstanding in January any 'testimony' she makes needs to be taken not just with a pinch of salt but with a big wheelbarrow of salt. Anyone who expects to find her testimony credible is either extremely naive or a Democratic partisan hack.

His lawyer confirmed it Pete god you are getting desperate

I know what his lawyer said, I just posted his lawyer's statement a few posts up and it matches exactly what I've been saying for some time about this. Here it is again in case you missed it.



You will notice that it doesn't mention the words 'immunity' or 'FBI' either. A House intelligence Committee spokesman has said they have no deal with Flynn about him testifying to them.

Hi. Lawyer here. That last sentence literally just means, "We're asking for an immunity deal." Whether congress is interested in taking him up on his offer is another matter entirely.

Thinking about this if they've already had discussions with the Congressional committees about this matter and said to them that he won't be answering their questions without an immunity promise then that would mean that he already knows that they'd turned down the idea. Which means that he won't be answering their questions for the above given reasons. He's not asking for an immunity deal, he's just saying he won't testify without one.

That means of course that if he's summoned he'd have to plead the fifth to all their questions. Now the optics of that won't look good on that so he has to preemptively get his explanation for doing so that supporters in the media and politics have the explanation ready for any 'spin battle' after the hearing.

Trump's lawyers have presumably worked out the same thing about the Flynn statement which would be why Trump tweeted out his support for Flynn's given reasons for doing so so that he's got that on record for his supporters and defenders ready for when they're asked about Flynn pleading the fifth.

Can always send the CIA or FBI to take him out after we get the incriminating evidence if it's as bad as we all think.

Take him out? Take him out for what?

The lack of mention of the FBI in the letter is a big indication that he hasn't requested immunity. If he was wanting 'a deal' he would presumably make such an offer to the FBI. If, on the other hand, what's happened is his lawyer has advised him to shut up and not answer any questions for the reasons given above then the reference to the Congressional committees makes sense.

He doesn't need a big public statement to explain if he's not answering any questions from the FBI. If, on the other hand he's concerned he might be called to testify before Congressional committees and is worried about looking stupid pleading the fifth to question after question then he might want a public statement to get his explanation for doing so in first.
