OMG - somebody got to flynn... someone who wouldn't be stopped even if he got immunity.  the russians are brutal sobs. i'd put every penny i have that he and his family have been threatened.  russia is BRUTAL.   after WW2, their soldiers were especially hated by the german captives, NAZIS !,  for being so sadistic and plain cruel.   it's a brutal world over there. there just isn't enough to go around and desperate people will do anything - who gets to have meat for a meal?  you or the person next to you?  screw that person , whatever it takes - i'm getting mine.  
 they like to hold hurting one's family over people - really terrorize them. and flynn, being familiar, was all ears and will NEVER peep a word..
