To reward Trump's loyalty.
The dude acts like he's in Narcos.

He's probably a chicken.
Ah, there's the GOP's deflection tactic! It's all Hillary's fault for suggesting - on tape - that Trump's kids were a good thing about him. If she hadn't said that, Trump would never have listened to them!
I see their plan coming together...

As investigators circled Flynn, he got a message from Trump: Stay strong
Flynn left little doubt about the answer. Not only did he remain loyal to President Trump, he indicated he and the president were still in communication. I just got a message from the president to stay strong, Flynn said after the meal was over, according to two sources who are close to Flynn and are familiar with the conversation, which took place on April 25.
The comment came at the end of an especially difficult day for Flynn when his legal woes had appeared to deepen: two congressmen, House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, and ranking Democrat Elijah Cummings, D-Md., after reviewing classified Pentagon documents, had just accused Flynn of failing to disclose foreign income from Russia and Turkey when he sought to renew his security clearance.
The sources who spoke to Yahoo News say Flynn did not indicate how Trump had sent the messagewhether a written note, a text message, a phone call or some other method. (The White House did not respond to a request for comment.) But the fact that the two men have stayed in contact could raise additional questions about the presidents reported request to former FBI Director James Comey to shut down a federal investigation into the retired Army general.

Oh boy.
So my understanding is that now they will have to bring him in by force right?
I'm pretty sure it's illegal to do that?

Seems like bad news; means he isn't playing ball.

He wants immunity. Turning over the documents via subpoena weakens his bargaining chip.
Pretty sure he is writing it.
Ah; interesting.

Sessions wouldn't approve of me sending you California marijuana via UPS I don't think.

Money bet he'll hide in the Russian embassy. I hope they're watching the airports- if he's not gone already.
