Disgraced FBI Official Requests Immunity

They should do to him what Dims did to Flynn.

Absolutely. They've given the last 4 or 5 liberal dirtbags immunity and got burned for it.

In case you're incapable of paying attention, I didn't single anyone out here, nor was I taking part in these forums at the time. I saw it on tv, heard it on the radio, and social media was infested with it. Don't trust me? Fine, call me a liar. But don't disingenuously ask for a list of names.

Where on the BBC News website did you read that "nobody pleads the 5th unless they have something to hide"?

Why would I need to be told this by anyone? In the US it's common knowledge that pleading the 5th usually means someone has something to hide.

By the same token, refusing to give a DNA sample in a criminal investigation does not mean your name will be removed from a suspect list.

Michael Flynn pleads the 5th and left wingers shout from their bullhorns: "Guilty as charged!"

Hillary Clinton deletes 33,000 emails (emails that were demanded by the State Dept as evidence in an investigation), smashes cell phones, and uses Bleach Bit on hard drives. Reaction by left wingers? *crickets* ... nothing worth mentioning.

Flynn pleaded guilty to a felony. He seems to agree that he's guilty as charged.

Are you incapable of anything other than straight line, two dimensional thinking?
There might be something Flynn doesn't want to reveal that has nothing to with any charges against him. Flynn is fully aware that Trump has been investigated for a year and a half for something he (Trump) clearly hasn't done, so why should he (Flynn) believe that he isn't also the target of a fishing expedition?

Pleading guilty is way out, a way to avoid being harrassed for years and bled dry from paying legal fees. So yeah, he's guilty of giving up and throwing in the towel for the sake of his and his family's peace of mind.

Interesting. So Trump clearly didn't fire Comey to derail the investigation? He clearly didn't attempt to cover up evidence that the Trump Tower meeting was arranged in order to obtain dirt on Clinton?

Oliver North and John Poindexter got immunity for their Congressional testimony. https://www.nytimes.com/1988/06/12/opinion/the-price-of-iran-contra-immunity.html:

Fully aware that they faced prosecution, the admiral and the colonel, both now retired, and the arms dealer, Mr. Hakim, claimed their privileges against coerced self-incrimination. The Congressional investigators were able to obtain their testimony only in exchange for a promise not to use that coerced testimony.


It turned out to be a bad idea; they both prevaricated and evaded questions in an incredible manner and their later convictions were thrown out because they have been compelled to admit criminal wrongdoing in public testimony.

In general, I don't support granting immunity to get Congressional testimony where the desired witness is facing possible criminal charges.

Haven't you read the Donald's tweets? He's totally innocent of everything.

I like reading fiction too.
But I'm mostly interested in real-time, real-world events.

Still haven't figured it out, have you.

Much of his tweeting is for stirring up the crazies.

Why do you think Donald Trump drafted a letter lying about the purpose of the Trump Tower meeting?
