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.

I have very little doubt he was up to something that could get him in serious trouble. If he weren't he wouldn't have asked for immunity. I just don't know if he knows much beyond that. Had he told them, "Give me immunity and I will give you solid proof that Trump himself conspired with the Russians to win the election," they would have immediately given him immunity. The fact that nobody has taken him up on his offer says to me that he either doesn't know much that they don't already know, or he's given them a general idea of what he knows and they are deciding if it is worth immunity. If he really had something juicy that they wanted today's story would have been about him getting immunity, not his asking for it.
