....Flynn’s erratic conduct had troubled US intelligence officials for some time, multiple sources have told the Guardian.
One concern involved an encounter with a Russian-British graduate student, Svetlana Lokhova, whom Flynn met on a trip to Cambridge in February 2014.
At the time, Flynn was one of the top US spies and the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), which provides information to the Pentagon about the military strengths and intentions of other states and terrorist groups.
A historian and a leading expert on Soviet espionage, Lokhova has claimed to have unique access to previously classified Soviet-era material in Moscow. She says her forthcoming book makes groundbreaking revelations about Soviet military intelligence operations run by the GRU – Russia’s military spy agency.
Western historians say access to intelligence agency records in Moscow has been severely restricted under Vladimir Putin. One Russian historian who has written extensively on Russian intelligence said the situation with the GRU was “a complete disaster”.
“At least with the FSB and SVR [domestic and foreign spy agencies] there are places you can apply to view the archives, but with the GRU there’s not even a place to apply,” the historian said.
“Maybe two or three military historians have been allowed in. Sometimes there are duplicates in other archives, but getting into the actual GRU archive is basically impossible.”
Flynn and Lokhova were introduced to each other at the end of a dinner attended by 20 guests who included Sir Richard Dearlove – the former head of MI6 – and Prof Christopher Andrew, the official MI5 historian.
Flynn says the meeting with Lokhova was “incidental” and lasted just 20 minutes. However, Andrew has said Flynn invited Lokhova to accompany him on his next official visit to Moscow to help with simultaneous translation. The trip fell through soon afterwards because of Putin’s annexation of Crimea, Andrew wrote in the Sunday Times.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Clearly there are certain standards of behavior for US spies, it looks like Flynn just isn't adding up here. :(

We have heard nothing from our MSM probably because there IS no bed peeing or pedo sex. Well, even if there was pedo sex, we are sure to not hear from the MSM. I wonder if they will try to make some cloak and dagger out of the fact that he asked her to accompany him on his next visit. A rendezvous perhaps? I am sure they will try to hit him with all of the above.

I think Flynn wants to spill secrets, and is asking for immunity so as to pique interest in his story, not because he has actually done anything to need it. Congress and MSM will vilify him to keep him un-credible or silenced. Trump should offer him a pardon for testimony.

Well, all I can say is this sure is one big mess. I think the Elite Pedo Dems are doing that circus act, you know, the one with the guy with sticks and a bunch of plates. They throw a bunch of plates up in the air and keep them up there with sticks. But eventually after a while they will have to come crashing down. When that day comes. Look out.

They know Flynn has nothing on Trump so they denied his immunity. They also know he has what they don't want him testifying at all.
