Retired General Michael Flynn, who served as Donald Trump's Security Advisor for about 15 minutes before the Trump brain trust (yes, it's a contradiction of terms) decided that Flynn was too radioactive to be handled by anyone close to the administration, has asked for immunity from prosecution in exchange for possibly testifying about Trump's ties with Russia.
This may be an elaborate "catfish" situation, where what you're promised does NOT turn out to be what you get.
Or, it may the the first domino to fall in the inevitable crash of the Trump presidency.
Just a reminder, we're only TEN WEEKS IN so far!
Good ol' Dick Nixon took nearly four years before fucking his presidency by being overly paranoid and listening to bad advice from his own "brain trust" (who, from what I've seen so far, were WAY fucking smarter than the rancid collection of blathering sociopaths and incompetent sycophants that Trump has surrounded himself with) but The Donald is obviously WAY more terrific than Nixon and will be the most perfect president you've ever seen!
Remember the "Summer of Watergate"? The year that the Watergate hearings were televised live on every channel (pretty much all five of them) as nervous Senators were desperately trying to get to the bottom of a scandal which if they landed on the WRONG side of would spell the end of their political lives. Politicians had equally as much to lose if Nixon survived as if he was removed. It was a terribly stressful time for most of the people who populated the halls of Congress.
But the bipartisan support for impeachment became too much for Nixon, who resigned from office on August 9, 1974 after the articles of impeachment were passed by the House, and the Senate looked at a 77-0 straw vote for conviction that made Nixon's decision inevitable. He would have gone to jail had he not resigned and somehow got a miraculous pardon from new President Ford for any crimes he "committed or may have committed or taken part in" as president.
I'm not a legal scholar or anything, but it seems funny that someone can be pardoned for crimes not even known about at the time of the pardon. Who knows what terrible deviant crimes Nixon might have gotten away with? There might be dozens of dead hookers buried in the Rose Garden because Nixon just couldn't resist his urge to slice them up when the blood lust came upon him! But hey, he's pardoned! It doesn't matter anymore!
Anyway, I digress. I seriously doubt that Trump has had enough time to murder DC hookers in the last ten weeks; although, once he's dragged away to prison, I would strongly recommend to the authorities that it might prove fruitful to till the soil on Mar-a-Lago.
