Jason Chaffetz: Congress Should Not Give Flynn Immunity

‘I also don’t believe actually that the president should be weighing in on this’

EXCERPT:

CHAFFETZ: "No, I don’t think it’s a witch hunt. Look, it’s very mysterious to me though why all of a sudden General Flynn is suddenly out there saying he wants immunity. A, I don't think Congress shouldn’t give him immunity. If there's an open investigation by the FBI, that should not happen. I also don’t believe actually that the President should be weighing in on this. They’re the ones that actually would prosecute something. I was very critical of President Obama who weighed in on the IRS scandal before we had all the facts and I don’t think Donald Trump should be weighing in on this at this point. But I don't think he should be given immunity. Immunity from what? We don't know what that is. It’s up to the Intel Committee. I'm on the Oversight Committee, but sitting in Congress and having been through this, you use that very sparingly."
