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."

For me and a lot of people I know, Hillary's own words denegrating 50% of Americans as irredemable is what lost her votes. I do not know anyone swayed by pizzagate, and I know a lot of rednecks. Her attitude about deserving the office instead of earning the office turned a lot of people off, they didn't vote for Trump they voted for Jill, Gary, or stayed home.
But I could be wrong in assuming that 70 thousand people in PA voted against her because "pizzagate is real" .

So, the entire country is now trump voters?
Because her own words were actually, "you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables."
The fact that you literally just said that you voted against clinton based on a lie really does not help your argument that people were not swayed by lies.

She said "half of trump's supporters," meaning at most a smidge under 25% of the adult population. And if anything, this election and its aftermath have proven that her estimate is probably too low, not too high. Now getcher ass back in th' basket.
