Any Legal Eagles out there that know if Immunity can be removed for 'bad faith', perjury, etc etc etc?
Congress can impeach any member of the admin, or judiciary....................
What about the agent(s) who did such an incompetent investigation?
Can they be fired? Reassigned to Timbuckto?
Here is a page from Nolo Legal on Immunity
“The Catch
A witness who refuses to testify after being given immunity can be held in contempt of court and subjected to fines and jail time. And even after a grant of use and derivative use immunity, the witness isn’t necessarily in the clear: The prosecution can still go after the witness. That said, once the prosecution has granted immunity, it’s limited in how it can use that testimony in the future. If the prosecution eventually seeks an indictment against an immunized witness, the prosecutor and law enforcement must show that the case is based solely on evidence that’s independent of the witness’s immunized testimony.”
Congress created the DOJ, which the FBI is part of.
Congress could end them both.
“Timbuckto”
Timbuktu.
Sorry, just trying to keep my rep intact! ;-)
Well in PA they took it away from Bill Cosby because it was awkward when all those other women stated saying “me too” and are now using the testimony he gave under that immunity deal to prosecute him. So yeah, they can. But it’s not a good precedent, nobody will ever testify under “immunity” if they are prosecuted anyway.
Malfeasance, incompetence, it’s raining, any reason at all...............
Comey should be removed immediately. He disgraces all who have served. But, he serves Obama and Hillary, so he will skate away just as they continue to do.
Thanks. Your record is intact!
Not a lawyer, observing from a distance...it looks to me like the FBI is using immunity about like a President uses a pardon. Just make everybody innocent and the legal problem no longer exists.
Sorry, just trying to keep my rep intact! ;-)
ROTFL
In that case please allow me to help

I bet a lot of those corrupt FBI agents are starting to squirm...big time.
Only the complicit ones............
I read somewhere years ago that immunity can be withdrawn if the witness lies after immunity is granted.
May or may not be correct, but if it is it should be easy to prosecute them since none of them seems capable of telling the truth.
True.
Two things -
1. Congress can override a veto
2. All bills, particularly those establishing agencies, should automatically sunset & require a new bill to recreate the agency. And none of this “continuing resolution” garbage either.
Transactional immunity is a rarely granted full guarantee that a witness cannot be prosecuted for any crime related to the matter under investigation, in exchange for full disclosure. But the witness could face perjury charges and a revocation of immunity if a prosecutor believes that the witness has lied about a material fact in sworn testimony.
Congress can and should pass legislation:
- Nullifying eligibility to work for the Government,
- Nullifying eligibility to be cleared for handling sensitive or classified information,
- Nullifying eligibility to be seated as a Congressman or Senator,
- Nullifying public pensions,
- Nullifying public benefits (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc.)
for any person found in Contempt of Congress, or for any person called to testify before Congress who pleads the Fifth Amendment.
That would get their attention.
