However, that he has found no takers for his offer could mean he doesn't have much to offer. Normally, they only offer immunity to those people who can give them information that can really help them.
It could also be that they don't know exactly what he can give them yet so they are taking some time to consider what he has to offer.
Either way, it doesn't look good for Trump. Flynn is clearly not interested in taking one for the team.

This might be true. But if this was the case, why ask for an immunity deal? With what little we know, it seems to me worst case he has violated a few laws. There is no laws about a private citizen speaking to Russian government employees. At the bare minimum it looks like he has violated some old law about private citizens making deals on behalf of the United States with foreign countries. He would get into some trouble for this, maybe a fine; No matter what his government career is over.
However.... The NSA and the CIA know exactly what has happened here. Any and all communication Flynn has had with the Russians has been documented. They know what happened. We know Flynn was knee deep in Russia; We know he was paid to speak at the Russia Today (RT) dinner. Think about this for a moment - A member of the Defense Intelligence Agency was paid to give a speech to the Russian propaganda arm. You just KNOW Flynn was into something.
IF Flynn says "Trump ordered me to do this" or "Trump was working directly with the Russians" you know this house of cards will come crashing down hard.
I haven't been watching much TV tonight but what little TV I watched was about ten minutes of CNN and they played a video of Flynn where he was talking about some of Hillary's staff getting immunity for something or another, and then he said "The only time you go for immunity is when you are guilty of something". LOL.
