The Senate Intelligence Committee has rejected Michael Flynn’s request for immunity from prosecution in exchange for his testimony in the panel’s probe into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election, congressional sources told NBC News.
The former national security advisor’s lawyer was told immunity was “wildly preliminary” and “not on the table” at this point, a senior congressional official told NBC. It does not necessarily rule out immunity at a later date, as the Senate investigation is ongoing.
Flynn, who resigned from the Trump administration last month, also offered to speak to the Justice Department in exchange for immunity, according to NBC. At this time, there is no indication that Flynn is admitting guilt to any crimes.

In Flynn’s own words, a request for immunity is an indication that you’re guilty of a crime. I guess the committee, at this point, doesn’t think he’s as guilty as he does himself!
The reason he asked for immunity is that he is perfectly innocent but the demos are over active with their mouths and accuse the opposition with every type of crime under the sun!
