While I think Flynn is dirty as hell and likely needs immunity, fact is any lawyer whose client has been the subject of as much speculation as Flynn and who knows that there was likely as least violation of the law with regard to Turkey lobbying/work would request immunity. The client may not get it, but it certainly doesn't hurt to ask.
That's why Hillary's IT requested immunity. So, it actually means something between: "There have been various allegations and I have a competent lawyer" and "I'm guilty as hell and really need me some immunity and I'll sing like a bird."
Refusing to give immunity is more interesting. It means something between "we have you nailed" to "we're chasing solid leads and maybe we can work out some kind of cooperation deal, but not immunity."
