mistertim Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Why would they accept a deal from him if they can just force him to testify under oath via subpoena if necessary? I guess it would make it easier if, instead of going through questioning for hours on end, he just said "I will completely spill the beans right here and now".

It is generally done because the witness can refuse to testify....or they can just lie(like Clapper) Or the standard "I cannot recall" http://www.mediaite.com/election-2016/heres-all-40-times-hillary-clinton-told-the-fbi-she-couldnt-remember-something/ Just a attempt to get information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why am I Mr. Pink?

I wouldnt think a person in a political/military position like Flynn could plead the fifth but I guess that is the concern here? I guess he was a private citizen at the time of potential criminal conduct and coerced testimony could be incriminating ... Not really sure how this really works, lots of layers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I dont understand why they would turn it down if he had worthwhile information that could get this ball rolling faster. Here's what happened, here is where to look type stuff that can save combing through 6 months of paperwork and interviews etc. So either A. He must not have had anything worthwhile to bring them B. They think they don't need his support because they have a strong enough case on their own or C. something else lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twa Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 The military can plead the fifth in civilian court or hearings and have a similar out in military court under article 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistertim Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Flynn = Karkaroff "No, please...I have names! I have names! How about.....Kushner, Jared Kushner!" "We already have him." "Of course of course! .....Bannon! I know for a fact that he passed classified information to the Orange Lord himself!" "We have Bannon too" "No less than he deserves, of course! Conway! I have information on Kellyanne Conway! And Nunes! I have information saying that he orchestrated a coverup for the Orange Lord in the Russia matter!" "Conway is as irrelevant as the dump my dog took this morning and the Nunes stuff is old evidence that we already possess. Look if you don't have anything new to offer us I am going to send you back to the dementors" "Noooo!"

willyt Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 How does the immunity thing work? Doesnt Flynn have to basically spill everything first, like off the record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 They could come back to immunity down the road. But, right now the Senate has the higher ground on Don, Nunes, etc. No need to give that up today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 a witch hunt where the investigation began months prior to the election when everybody still laughed at the notion that Trump could actually win.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Why doesn't anyone call him out on this BS? Are they afraid of losing access? Like so many tied with Trump, he is disrespecting and tarnishing the position he holds by standing there and telling lie after lie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogofWar1 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 If Flynn dies suddenly soon, I think we can all assume that Trump did something egregiously impeachable. Also, the WH doesn't know what is going on on all of the 18 acres of the White House grounds? So there are blind spots for dangers? Yeah, either Spicer admitted the Secret Service isn't protecting the WH effectively, or Spicer is full of it. Again. It's the latter option, of course. With these clowns, it's always the latter.
