Michael Flynn’s Immunity Request Rejected By Senate Intelligence Committee
The Senate Intelligence Committee turned down the request by former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn's lawyer for a grant of immunity in exchange for his testimony, two congressional sources told NBC News.
A senior congressional official with direct knowledge said Flynn's lawyer was told it was "wildly preliminary" and that immunity was "not on the table" at the moment. A second source said the committee communicated that it is "not receptive" to Flynn's request "at this time."

RELATION TO PIZZAGATE: It has been speculated that General Flynn's resignation was because of Pence's "best friend" being on a list of pedos. Also Mike Flynn's son has been Tweeting about PG.

He could volunteer to go to jail and they still won't want him to testify.

This is being widely reported. It flies in the face of what AreWeSure and many of the other shills have thought, which is that Flynn's testimony would bring down Trump... LOL
Trump has been spied on for years..... ZERO proof he did anything improper with Russia Flynn was spied on.... That's why he was fired, however the FBI reviewed all the intel, and found that Flynn didn't violate any laws.
This was a brilliant move by Flynn/Trump as it flushes out the fact that the Dems/Schiff know there's nothing there and this is for pure theatrics.
If there was any evidence that Flynn could possibly verify with testimony, they would have offered immunity in a second.

Key phrase "at this time"? Still negotiating?
Assuming, of course, NBC's sources are legit (and they may not be).

Well, the request WAS premature, unusually so, since he had not yet been called to testify.

Flairing this "Needs More Sources" since NBC "News" didn't provide any. As usual.

I get where you're coming from, but IMO the flair isn't necessary in this case, since OP did their homework, even if NBC didn't.
Just my two cents as someone who isn't a mod, though.

Schiff noted, "we should first acknowledge what a grave and momentous step it is for a former National Security Adviser to the President of the United States to ask for immunity from prosecution."
That's a comment that could only be made by a fake investigator interested in perception and putting on a show for anti-Trump political purposes. Schiff has no intention of looking Flynn in the eye and making accusations like he does in these hearings.

Fake news! Flynn has no need for immunity! Anyway only AG can approve immunity!

This is a blow to the "700-D chess" tards who were hoping that Flynn would reveal all regarding PedoGate once he got under oath.
Obviously, they don't understand how committee hearings work.

Once again, these are claims made by "sources" "with direct knowledge" -- i.e. no way to vet. Fake News.

Senate Intel knows exactly what Flynn is going to say and they don't want to anyone to hear it.

"who were hoping that Flynn"
No one ever thought that request for immunity meant anything. The story is Fake News. Flynn isn't a story. Russia isn't a story.
The only story regarding Russia is John Podesta was working for them:

Bam!! Podesta's noose is already around his neck. Either Russia or Pizzagate will pull it tight.
