The attorney for short-serving US National Security Advisor Michael Flynn says his client "has a story to tell" - but won't do so unless he receives immunity from prosecution.

Donald Trump fired Michael Flynn after just 24 days on the job after it was determined that Flynn had misled the White House and Vice President Mike Pence about his conversations with a Russian envoy.  The Department of Justice had warned the White House about Flynn misleading officials and being vulnerable to Russian blackmail.  

It later emerged that Flynn was engaged in lobbying work for Turkey that would have required him to register as an agent of a foreign government while he worked on the Trump campaign last year.  That would include the time he appeared at the Republican National Convention and led the hayseeds and rubes in chants of "lock her up" aimed at Democratic president candidate Hillary Clinton over her private email server (which turned out to be nothing).

What Flynn might have to say about his boss is unknown.  But his lawyer sure wants the world to know that whatever it is, it is available.

"General Flynn certainly has a story to tell, and he very much wants to tell it, should the circumstances permit," said his attorney Robert Kelner in a statement that rocked Washington, DC.  "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," in continued.

In September, Flynn told NBC news that he didn't approve of some of Ms. Clinton's aides getting immunity from prosecution.

"When you get given immunity that means you've probably committed a crime," he told NBC News.

And the Feds don't grant immunity unless you're going to serve up a much bigger fish.
