“‘Immunity means you probably committed a crime” — Michael Flynn

Sep 27, 2016

”And if you’re not guilty of a crime, what do you need immunity for, right?” — Donald Trump

Sep 28, 2016 

“The reason they get immunity is because they did something wrong. If they didn’t do anything wrong, then no reason.” — Donald Trump

Now

Mar 31, 2017

“No reasonable person with legal counsel would answer questions without assurances that he would not be prosecuted” — Michael Flynn’s lawyer

Mar 31, 2017

“Mike Flynn should ask for immunity in that this is a witch hunt (excuse for big election loss), by media & Dems, of historic proportion!” — Donald Trump
New York Times

Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn is in discussions with the House and Senate intelligence committees on receiving immunity from “unfair prosecution” in exchange for agreeing to be questioned as part of ongoing probes into possible contacts between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia, his attorney says.

What does knowledge that Flynn was maneuvering to save his own bacon have to do with the flurry of insane activity at the White House including Trump intervening to keep a political operative in place at the NSC, Devin Nunes ouroboros chain of knowledge, and Sean Spicer’s slightly more crazy than normal press conference?

Stay tuned for Michael Flynn and Donald Trump’s deep thoughts on locking people up.
