April 1, 20179 yr What are people's opinion of Flynn if he is indeed wanting immunity? Why would Trump tweet that is the right thing to do? Isn't immunity reserved for people who committed a crime? Trump must be confidant that none of it will stick to him if he's telling him to get immunity and testify. Request for immunity generally comes from those that have done something and fear prosecution. In a few cases it will be requested when someone has a story to tell and doesn't want to scope of the investigation to grow and roll back on them later. If they could get it a lawyer would request it for every person that testifies for anything, :lol2:
April 1, 20179 yr Lie detector tests are a joke. Anyone with a brain can beat them now. Well we are talking about politicians and brains so... they should be effective. Or we could water board them all! :jump:

April 1, 20179 yr So far, nothing of any substance on the Trump people and Russia. But.... As the childhood tease goes - "first one the smelt it, dealt it."
April 1, 20179 yr So far, nothing of any substance on the Trump people and Russia. But.... As the childhood tease goes - "first one the smelt it, dealt it." Nothing to see here, move along, say the Liberals.
April 1, 20179 yr We should go back in time and fire Podesta. Currently this thread is discussing the president's former NSA willing to testify against the administration if he gets immunity. I would try to deflect too.
April 1, 20179 yr Author So far, nothing of any substance on the Trump people and Russia. But.... As the childhood tease goes - "first one the smelt it, dealt it." So you don't think Flynn offering to testify against the Trump administration in exchange for immunity isn't anything substantial?
April 1, 20179 yr Author I'm not knowledgeable on international affairs and I've not been following the whole Russia story so please enlighten me. 1.)Someone exposed classified information to Russia? 2.)Is the the same type of claim about HRC using unsecured emails or are they saying it was deliberately communicated? 3.)They helped Trump win the election? How? Giving him money? 4.)Is it bad to have Russia as an ally? They are not the cold war monster they used to be. Thanks for the info. I have time now. 1.) It's possible. We do know that General Flynn illegally spoke to Russia about lifting sanctions placed on them by Obama and he also lied to or misled VP Pence about his relationship with Russia and what he discussed. That is why Flynn resigned from the Trump administration. For now it appears there is an ongoing investigation into the Trump's administration and their Russian ties and some news outlets say the investigation began in July 2016. The FBI, House & Senate Intelligence committees are who is said to be investigating the Trump administration and their Russian ties. 2.) From what I have read everything points to deliberate communication with Russia with intent to win the election. 3.) From what I have read it is possible Russia is behind the hacking of the DNC and gave that information to the Trump administration in an effort to help win the election. However, it is important to note that as of today no one knows the truth and no one knows if there is an investigation taking place by our government. Some say there is others say there isn't and fake news is everywhere. We do know that members of congress have formed an investigation committee like they did for Benghazi and Hillary's emails and that Flynn has offered his testimony to them in exchange for immunity. As of now immunity isn't on the table for Flynn. 4.) I'm not sure. For the past 8 years everyone said Obama didn't have a spine when it came to Russia and now all of a sudden it appears like Russia could be controlling our POTUS and his administration and everyone seems fine with that so I'm kind of confused at this point.

Like again... The positions Republicans have been getting into to legitimize POTUS Trump is certainly entertaining.:lol2:
April 1, 20179 yr So you don't think Flynn offering to testify against the Trump administration in exchange for immunity isn't anything substantial? Again your making a leap. No one can prove he asked for immunity. Second even if he did we don't know what he will testify.

April 1, 20179 yr So you don't think Flynn offering to testify against the Trump administration in exchange for immunity isn't anything substantial? Who said he is testifying 'against' Trump?
April 1, 20179 yr Author Again your making a leap. No one can prove he asked for immunity. Second even if he did we don't know what he will testify. I'm only responding to what has been reported and what Trump has said about those reports. If I am making a leap then Donald Trump is making the exact same leap.
April 1, 20179 yr Author Who said he is testifying 'against' Trump? According to the New York Times, Mike Flynn's lawyer and a congressional official. Michael Flynn Offers to Testify Before Congress in Exchange for Immunity - NYTimes.com WASHINGTON — Michael T. Flynn, the former national security adviser, has offered to be interviewed by House and Senate investigators who are examining the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia in exchange for immunity from prosecution, according to his lawyer and a congressional official.
April 1, 20179 yr So you don't think Flynn offering to testify against the Trump administration in exchange for immunity isn't anything substantial? There are, at best, conflicting stories of what was 'offered' or sought. Still say the Russians did not cause the longest lines ever at our voting place in November. And still not sure what 'influence' in elections means. Either someone hacked or not - and so far the only hackers of state's systems (including Kentucky's) seem to have come from the DHS under direction of the previous administration. This whole subject seems to be a smoke screen without much smoke, much less fire.
