What is it that Flynn is suspecting of doing?

If I had to guess, it may have more to do with his connections to Turkey and the possibility of making decisions during the Trump transition after having taken money to do some work that would have benefited the current government in Turkey.

1. Jeff Neely, the former Pacific Rim regional commissioner for the General Services Administration, pled the fifth on April 16, 2012 when Congress asked him to testify about overly-lavish spending on GSA conferences. He was eventually sentenced to prison for fraud anyway.
2. John Beale, a former official at the EPA, pled the fifth on October 1, 2013 when Congress probed into Beale's theft of nearly $900,000 worth of salaries and bonuses from his own agency.
3. John Sepulveda, a former VA official, pled the fifth on October 30, 2013 after Congress subpoenaed him to testify as to why the department spent $6 million on conferences in Florida.
4. Diana Rubens and Kimberly Graves, two senior officials in the Department of Veterans Affairs, each pled the fifth before Congress on November 2, 2015 when asked to testify about $400,000 they had allegedly milked out of a VA relocation expense program. They were eventually given back their jobs.
5. Greg Roseman, a deputy director of the IRS, pled the fifth on June 26, 2013, after Congress asked him to testify about why the largest contract in IRS history was awarded to a close friend of his.
6. Patrick Cunningham, chief of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Arizona, pled the fifth when Congress asked him to testify about Operation Fast and Furious, which trafficked more than 2,000 guns along the U.S.-Mexico border.
7. Lois Lerner, an IRS director in charge of tax-exemptions, pled the fifth numerous times during Congress' investigation into the IRS' targeting of conservative groups.

In today's world, pleading the fifth is guilty of something. If true though, Flynn has the right to do so.

Does your stupid arse even realize your boy is the one that originally hired and vetted Flynn?

Flynn's lawyer was trying to pull an Oliver North, as he got congressional immunity and later was protected from the feds. Even if Flynn did nothing but his job or nothing different than any other DC politico did. It is wise to seek immunity and or then invoke the fifth. He needs a cold blanket over him in the huge political dumpster fire this has become.
