    It is not unheard of for potential congressional witnesses to seek immunity in exchange for testimony. During the Obama administration, former IRS official Lois Lerner sought immunity for her testimony to Congress, which was investigating how she and other officials scrutinized conservative groups. The FBI was also investigating the matter at the time. The committee declined to grant her immunity, and she was still called to testify at a hearing, in which she repeatedly invoked her Fifth Amendment right to protect herself against self-incrimination.​

    Pleading the 5th is no admission of, or indication of guilt either.

    Yes, we've all seen Law and Order. Taking the 5th also doesn't mean someone is guilty.

    The only one who has said that someone asking for immunity is guilty is Flynn himself. Hahahahahahahaha!

    “When you are given immunity, that means you have probably committed a crime.”

    — Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, in an interview with NBC News on September 25, 2016.

    Flynn is obviously not a good lawyer.

    But it is the kind of thing you say to try and intimidate someone into testifying.
