    Dems should pause before jumping too quickly to immunize Flynn. FBI has a great deal of leverage against him they need to be able to use.

        I mean, they would consult the FBI first anyway wouldn't they? I can't imagine a decision like that being made in a vacuum.

        SSCI did deconfliction with Rosenstein (who's not to be trusted at this point, IMO), but not yet with Mueller.

        Just saying that, tho, bc thus far Dems have been mostly easy marks for GOP attempts to negotiate this crisis.

        They have no leverage if Flynn knows Trump will pardon him.

        Trump has to time the pardon well.

        Flynn could very well be the first preemptive presidential pardon since Ford - Nixon.

        If Repubs vote party line ... how would Dems stop offers of immunity?

        GOP probably won't vote party line, except maybe in HPSCI. Both SJC and SSCI there's some support for doing this right.

        HPSCI looks like a given. 4 seat R advantage. Hurd possible no; maybe Ros-Lethinen, that's it. Might take Mueller going public w/ objection

        He's subject to military investigation,? Doubt whether it would go forward, given how they "vetoed" the Kerry Lavrov agreement. Orwell hole

        Immunity? The best deal for him should be a reduction in sentencing. Treason is a capital crime.

        Undercutting substantive criminal investigations is what Congress does, whether by committee or commission. #FeatureNotBug

        Isn't immunity always conditional upon a certain amount of quid pro quo?
