President trumps former National Security adviser Michael Flynn wants to testify but wants immunity. In a statement flynns lawyer says he certainly has a story to tell and very much wanted to tell it. The president weighs in on it. He should ask for immunity because its a witch hunt. Reporters are unwillinging to cut a deal. I dont think congress should give him immunity. If there is an open investigation by the fbi that should not happen, and i dont believe the president should be weighing in on this. Flynn changed his tune on immunity.
