Trump Downplays Flynn Immunity Request, Calls it Democratic Witch Hunt

After sleeping on the Flynn news, I think Cernovich is right. The Flynn request for immunity is fake news, in the sense that it’s normal operating procedures for an attorney to request it, given that he is not being compelled to offer testimony.

The President confirmed my suspcions this morning.

I’m very sorry for my libtarded friends this morning, as I know you were absolutely sure you had Trump by the short hairs last night. The lot of you probably did a full needles worth of heroin and had sex changes, to celebrate the news.

But it’s more nothing.

My condolences.

    During last year’s campaign, Flynn commented on the fact that some of Hillary Clinton’s aides were granted immunity in the investigations into her private email server. He said that getting immunity “means that you have probably committed a crime.”
    Everybody is a hypocrite.

      That’s all when “under normal circumstances”. This is not normal circumstance. This is a political witch-hunt and all Flynn is getting is sound advice that is logical. It’s the same as your right to remain silent as not to incriminate yourself when charged. To remain silent does not mean one is guilty. For that reason, he is not an hypocrite. But the Soros/Klinton clique wants him to incriminate himself. There is no fairness in that.

        Actually, they’re completely different. The fifth amendment is a constitutional right against being to be forced to incriminate oneself. Immunity from prosecution is not a constitutional right. Flynn is asking for immunity in exchange for his testimony. Generally, he will only get it if he has something substantial to disclose, which can be used to indict others (prosecutors grant immunity to underlings in exchange for them rolling on their bosses). In fact, usually part of the immunity deal is that he will forgo his right to invoke the fifth amendment. Which makes sense, he can no longer, technically, incriminate himself because he has been given immunity.

        This isn’t him wanting to remain silent or invoke the fifth, he could do that without anyone’s permission. This is him preparing to confess to a crime and directly indict others in the process. Otherwise, he won’t be granted immunity.

          Very nice. That makes more sense now to me.
          So, since the Senate Intel Committee now turned down Flynn’s request for immunity, Flynn really has nothing of importance for them. Dud.

    I know. He might be a hypocrite, but that’s about it.

    don’t alt-write the demo-libtards off just yet — they can get an incredible amount of mileage out of fake news. They’be been playing the Russian-fake-news for nearly 10 months now and there is still no sign of their delusion letting up.

    Look at the time immemorial fake news of the major religions — they all altered the true spiritual teaching into fantasical nonsense and it still plays to a packed house millenia later.

    Fake new is a virus which is only cured by the individual realizing the truth within themselves.

    Fun to watch you twist yourself into a logic pretzel. The ubiquitous fake news excuse just went poof thanks to Flynn’s lawyer. Raise your hand if you don’t think the FBI has Flynn’s balls in a vice? Will he incriminate Trump? I don’t think so. But what he has to say about Bannon and the other Trump gangsters will be interesting. Whatever he needs immunity from he didn’t do alone. Take off your tinfoil hat and enjoy the show. You should realize by now that Trump was a false prophet anyway. Right?

    No, why would I realize Trump was a false prophet? I’ve bee consistent from day 1. This isn’t about Trump. It’s about populism and nationalism disrupting the corrupt establishment.

    To that end, judging by how mad you people are and how the shills are acting like their heads are in fire, I’d say Trump is doing a fine job.

    With regards to Flynn, it’s nothing. He doesn’t have to give testimony. He is not under any charge and will only talk if he’s given assurances. It’s literally nothing.

    Sorry.

      Populism? Disrupt corrupt establishment? What alternate universe do you reside in?

      That healthcare bill fucked more people than Wilt Chamberlain. Every one of his cabinet picks is a billionaire establishment type. Wilbur Ross is a disruptor? You serious? Trump is the corrupt establishment. You should have opted for Bernie if you wanted seismic change. You elected a clownish golfer. But in a few years President Adam Schiff will make things right again. Between now and then real Americans will just have to be satisfied with the public humiliations and indictments of Trump’s traitors and chumps.

      Flynn appears to be asking for immunity but a couple of others from the Trump group are going to testify but don’t seem to be asking for protection.
