Behind the Clinton Immunity Deals

We now know that the Justice Department granted immunity to at least five of Hillary Clinton's close aides during the FBI's investigation of her email scam. However, it's hard to understand, in light of the ultimate disposition of the case, why Justice gave these people immunity. Representative Jason Chaffetz, whose committee has the herculean task of cleaning the Augean Clinton State Department stables, revealed the previously unpublicized immunity deals. He was quoted as saying of them, "[N]o wonder they couldn't prosecute a case" referring to the FBI and Justice Department.

In fact, in normal circumstances, Chaffetz is exactly wrong. Immunity deals are granted precisely to prosecute a case and, in the absence of utter corruption, would never be issued unless prosecutors had other more valuable targets they intended to put away in return for letting some of the smaller fry go. That this did not happen in the Clinton email case is another factor that makes the decision so utterly fraught.

"The five immunized witnesses apparently were not required to cooperate with federal authorities or with Congress in return for their deals, other than providing a limited amount of immunized information. In the case of Mills and Samuelson, it was evidently their laptops."

The only legitimate reason to grant a guilty person immunity is if they agree to cooperate to ensure the prosecution of a more dangerous and important criminal.

The Clinton aides refused to cooperate and there was no prosecution.

These immunities were clearly criminal corruption.

COMEY is CORRUPT and so are HIS AGENTS!!!

[Gaffer]

They are clearly protection against prosecution for no promise given by the target to talk. It is a criminal act by the DoJ IMO.

[allendale]

After nearly eight years in power the amoral Obama commissars control all Federal agencies including the FBI. They have corrupted all that was once held dear by decent people.

I had it out with a DOJ loser yesterday.

The blindfold has been stripped from Lady Justice.

All part of the plan. Destroy people’s faith in the integrity of their institutions.

Behind the Clinton Immunity Deals

It has been apparent for quite some time that Comey's so-called investigation was instigated to whitewash Madam Benghazi's criminal actions and the immunity deals were to pre-empt testimony in any further investigations.

[blueunicorn6]

Would these people be immune under a Trump Administration?

[AndyJackson]

Not hard to destroy faith in integrity when there is no integrity.

[stockpirate]

The IRS, CIA, HHS, DOJ, ATF, SCOTUS, FBI, Senate, House, White House, DHS are ALL corrupt to the very core.

[Calvin Locke]

If it can be proved the immunity "deals" were part of a conspiracy, then no.

How many degrees of separation is another matter.

[polymuser]

I have never been less proud of my country.

There must be public hangings from this.

[crazycat]

Would these people be immune under a Trump Administration?

Don’t think it matters, as there is so much filth in the bitches cupboard, that it could be prosecuted for eternity....on loads of charges.

[Liz]

Comey passed out immunity deals like a pedophile passing out candy at a Boy Scout Jamboree.

Even more astounding is that Hillary didn’t get a deal.

Clearly, she didn’t need one.

Obama said at the START of the FBI investigation....even before the facts were in..... that “Hillary did nothing wrong.”

[kiryandil]

Have a care. They like flexing their corrupt muscle against uppity peasants.

See the Bundys out in Nevada and Oregon.

[airborne]

Not immunity deals so much as “Get Out Of Jail Free” cards.

[kiryandil]

Looks like a job for the PBFI*.

Hillary's email coverup operation and deliberate destruction of govt property was so vast, at least five State Dept govt employees, including Clinton’s top suck-up, Cheryl Mills, needed DOJ immunity deals to avoid prosecution....and to prevent Obama from being implicated.

By Robert Gehl, Federalist Papers
Hillary didn't know and Cheryl Mills didn't know either (250 times)

She doesn’t recall, she doesn’t recollect. She’s not sure. She just doesn’t know. Hillary Clinton’s counsel, chief of staff (and US govt employee), doesn’t know a lot of things. She can’t remember testimony she gave. She isn’t sure if she spoke to anyone – she doesn’t remember Hillary’s email address, she doesn’t even know who might know anything. During seven hours of testimony before Judicial Watch, Cheryl Mills said “I don’t know” or some variation of ignorance at least 189 times. (Hillary didn't know 50 times and blamed a blood clot on her brain for her forgetfulness---but she DID remember she wants to be president).

Mills is clearly adept at finding ways to proclaim her ignorance. She was Bill Clinton’s counsel during the impeachment proceedings in the 1990s and has been a close advisor for both Bill and Hillary Clinton for decades.

Breitbart compiled a list of the near-200 times Mills declared how little she knows.

Meet the mastermind behind Clinton’s massive email coverup
New York Post ^ | September 4, 2016 | Paul Sperry / FR Posted by bushwon

EXCERPT--Newly released FBI documents detailing theinvest igation of Hillary’s State dept emails reveal the aide who would likely follow her into the White House as chief counsel was central to a cover-up of evidence sought by investigators.

Yet despite signs, Clinton’s former chief of staff Cheryl Mills obstructed efforts by investigators to obtain Clinton’s emails, the FBI invited Mills to attend Hillary’s interview at FBI headquarters as one of her lawyers.

“It’s absolutely outrageous,” J/W President Tom Fitton said. “The FBI saw massive document destruction and clear intent to withhold material evidence,” he added, “and they just ignored that obstruction, and even let her sit in on the interview.”

The smoking gun is on page 16 of the FBI’s 47-page report. It details how Mills ultimately made the determinations about which emails should be preserved before she and Clinton decided to delete the rest as “personal.” Clinton conducted both government and personal business using a personal email account — clintonemail.com — tied to an unsecured server set up in the basement of her New York home.

The FBI makes clear the procedure Mills used to sort out the emails was suspicious. Mills was the one who ordered the server host to move the emails from the server to a laptop where she could screen them. She told investigators she could “not recall” if emails with non-gov addresses were included in the transfer.

It’s unlikely they were, because an aide who helped her search told the FBI she only screened for emails sent to or from Clinton with .gov and .mil — not .com — addresses.--SNIP-- (Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
