Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has reportedly offered to testify about President Trump's campaign and Russia:
President Trump's former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has reportedly told the FBI that he is willing to testify about the Trump campaign's potential ties to Russia, in exchange for immunity from prosecution, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Flynn resigned in February, after it was reported that he misled White House staff on his interactions with Russia and had discussed sanctions with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak ahead of President Trump's inauguration. The Journal reported, citing officials familiar with the matter, that the FBI and the House and Senate Intelligence committees that are investigating Russia's attempts to interfere in the U.S. election have not taken his lawyers up on the offer.
Flynn's lawyer said in a statement that "General Flynn certainly has a story to tell, and he very much wants to tell it, should the circumstances permit."
[...] In September, criticizing Hillary Clinton over former aides being given immunity deals as part of an investigation into her private email server, Flynn said, "When you're given immunity that means you've probably committed a crime."

I like to think of the Trump government as an ice shelf or glacier. Harsh, cold, rigid, and blindingly white. And cracking apart. Scientists are unable to predict when, if ever, the collapse will happen, but what do they know? Maybe this growing Flynn crack will lead to collapse, if it's real. Might be fake news, you know.
We all know Global Warming isn't real, because Trump says so.

Building on the metaphor:
Like a glacier, 90% is hidden from view. Mind you, as the 'swamp gets drained', won't bits of this come to light?
