Kelner declined to comment on the details of Flynn’s conversations with the federal and congressional officials who are conducting separate inquiries into Russian interference in the US election. But he noted Flynn was “the target of unsubstantiated public demands by Members of Congress and other political critics that he be criminally investigated”.

“No reasonable person, who has the benefit of advice from counsel, would submit to questioning in such a highly politicized, witch hunt environment without assurances against unfair prosecution.”

But contrary to the assertion by Flynn’s lawyers that discussions with the relevant committees were already underway, top aides on the House intelligence committee disputed the claim.

Jack Langer, a spokesman for the House intelligence committee chairman Devin Nunes, said no such offer had been made by Flynn in exchange for immunity. A Democratic committee aide also said members of his party had not been presented with an offer from Flynn.

some harvard law professor dude who obviously doesn't know what he's talking about, right?? posted:

As an experienced lawyer, Kelner will know that the Justice Department would never grant immunity for testimony on these terms. Prosecutors would first require that Flynn submit to what’s called a proffer session in which Flynn would agree to tell everything he knows in exchange for the prosecutors agreeing not to use his statement against him. Only after the prosecutors heard what Flynn could offer in terms of evidence against others, and had an opportunity to assess his credibility, would they be willing to discuss any grants of immunity or a cooperation deal. At a minimum, the prosecutors would require Flynn’s lawyer to make a proffer outlining the information that Flynn could provide.

The fact that Flynn and his lawyer have made his offer publicly suggests that he has nothing good to give the prosecutors (either because he cannot incriminate others or is unwilling to do so). If he had something good, Flynn and his lawyer would approach the prosecutors quietly, go through the proffer process in confidence, and reach a deal. Why? Because prosecutors have an interest in keeping their investigation secret, and Flynn’s lawyer knows that. The last thing Flynn’s lawyer would do if he thought he had the goods would be to go public, because that would potentially compromise the criminal inquiry and would certainly irritate the prosecutors, the very people Flynn’s lawyer would be trying to win over.

He mostly sucks, but getting us out of the TPP was cool and good. Offered to entertain a bi-partisan immigration compromise. Mostly a shitshow from there out, though.

I was not being serious about ketchup. I stated clearly later "Medium rare, only it's juices and seasonings"

The last steak I cooked I did sous vide, which lets you get the temperature exactly on the dot.

I've eaten steaks so rare they're still purple on the inside

At worst, I'll use a little dab of A1. But usually I just saute onions in butter and use that as a topping

Also the Dems felt jealous of the whole birther movement and needed something equally as dumb, they just didn't realize how popular blaming everyone but themselves for losing would be with their electorate.

Lemme tell you how it was. We were down by three, nobody expected us to come back. Things are looking bad, the crowd is starting to go home. But we dug deep, we played hard and pulled off something so incredible and outrageous that people will be talking about it for years (and I certainly know I will)... four touchdowns, in a single game. That's right. I did that. I don't like to brag, but it's never been seen before.
