Red Mosquito

Chlorpyrifos is one of the most widely used pesticides on American farms, sprayed on everything from strawberries to soybeans. It’s cheap, and it works well; chlorpyrifos is derived from the same chemical family as sarin nerve gas, and kills insects by attacking their nervous system. But exposure to chlorpyrifos is also linked to brain damage in infants and kids, and nervous system damage in adults, like the farm workers who handle it. After his agency’s scientists sounded a clear signal of these harm, Scott Pruitt, the new administrator of the US Environmental Protection Agency, chose not to ban the chemical.

It could be; he could also just know he's fucked and wants to find any way out, regardless of what actual info he has. If true, it at least makes it clear that Flynn knows he's in trouble.

But the ploy feels desperate, indicating that Flynn may not have much to offer. And the very fact that Flynn’s lawyer is making a play for immunity at this stage suggests that he has some fear that his client faces real criminal exposure.
