Too many leaks and sloppy approach to the Russians to get away scott free, but Flynn will probably never have to ask for immunity as Trump will pick up the phone and offer a pardon for a great military leader...........and then he will probably pardon himself.

You take this stuff too seriously. We have very robust institutions--just look at what's happened to the immigration ban and the healthcare bill.
It's fun because we've just gone through eight years of almost no political excitement and now, in 60-some days, we've had a bonanza. I can't tear my eyes away.
RealLindaL wrote:Sorry, but I think this development is pure hogwash, and I wouldn't suggest that anyone get their hopes up about it at all. Reading various news reports on this from NBC.com and others, Flynn's attorney is clearly attempting to imply Flynn's not guilty of anything whatsoever, but is asking for immunity only because he's concerned about "unfair prosecution," given the supposed witch hunts, accusations of treason, etc., rampant in the media and elsewhere Sounds to me as if Flynn just wants a chance to make himself look good, spin the story in his favor, not offer anything particularly damning to anyone else, either, and have immunity to boot. A likely whitewash, IMHO. We'll see if either of the intelligence committees falls for it. Hope not, frankly, because the only person it will benefit is Flynn, and maybe a person or two he chooses to declare innocent along with himself. We shall see.

[Opening narration (season 1)]
Narrator: There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.
[Opening narration - season 4 & 5]
Narrator: You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into the Twilight Zone.
[Opening narration - season 2]
Narrator: You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!
[Opening narration - season 3]
Narrator: You are traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone!
[Opening narration-Season 1 alternate]
Narrator: You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone!
