Michael Flynn Offers To Testify in Exchange For Immunity During Family Game Of Clue

Midway through a game of Clue with his family this past Easter Sunday, Michael Flynn reportedly offered to testify in exchange for immunity, assuring his family that he hadn’t killed Mr. Body and just because he was asking for immunity didn’t mean he was guilty of anything.

“My lawyer, Robert Kelner, who has become as much a part of the family as Matt or Michael Jr. these past few weeks, recommended that this was the best course of action for somebody in my position,” said Flynn, reiterating that it really wasn't him and everybody needed to stop thinking it was.

Flynn went on to remind his family that if it turned out his character, Colonel Mustard, was guilty, they should keep in mind that Flynn and Mustard were completely different people and that Mustard was only a character, although the most suspicious character in the game.

This offer to testify came on the heels of an accusation from his wife that Flynn was not showing his cards when he was supposed to. He explained that he hadn't heard her ask and just because he was asking for immunity didn't mean he was doing anything wrong, saying "Accidents happen, I might have misremembered the rules a little, but we don't need to make a big deal out of it.”

The family did not take Mr. Flynn up on his offer to testify however, arguing that it would ruin the integrity of the game and that playing the game was just a fun thing to do on a Sunday when people are obligated to spend time with their families, no matter how much they don't want to.

They went on to reassure him that they knew he wasn’t guilty of anything more than being a threat to national security, and that soon this board game controversy would be over and he could focus his energy back on hoping President Trump could distract the media long enough so that he could find a way to not be held responsible for his actions.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
