[FLASHBACK]. Five Clinton aides received immunity deals in FBI probe
Washington Examiner ^ | September 23, 2016 | By Sarah Westeood

Cheryl Mills, Hillary Clinton's former chief of staff, received an immunity deal from the Justice Department during the year-long FBI investigation of Clinton's server.

Two other State Department staffers, John Bentel and Heather Samuelson, were also given immunity agreements, bringing the total number of witnesses who were protected by deals to five.

Bryan Pagliano, Clinton's former IT aide, and Paul Combetta, an employee at the firm hired to manage her server after she left the State Department, received such protection through deals that were reported previously.

The immunity agreements given to Mills and Samuelson covered the evidence recovered from their computers, a Democratic staffer told the Washington Examiner. The deals did not extend to their testimony before Congress or to the information they told the FBI, the staffer said.

Pagliano was held in contempt of Congress Thursday for his failure to comply with a subpoena for testimony and documents. Combetta appeared before the House Oversight Committee last week, but invoked his Fifth Amendment rights and refused to answer questions.

The FBI has said Clinton and her staff exhibited "extreme carelessness" by sharing classified information on an unsecured server that was kept in Clinton's basement.

These deals are evidence that the investigation was criminally compromised.

They are evidence of a conspiracy to obstruct justice...

Usually one receives immunity for testifying against another person. Such was not the case here. Further, these witnesses were allowed to destroy evidence as part of this immunity.

Why give so much immunity if no crimes were committed?

Why cut loose little fish if you aren’t going after bigger fish?

Why tolerate the biggest fish’s lies and disrespectful mocking answers about wiping servers with rags?

The DOJ is a corrupt cesspool and Sessions is doing nothing to reverse the damage done by Holder/Lynch. His appointment will go down as President Trump’s biggest mistake.

As immunity against prosecution, the grants seem to apply. So they cannot be prosecuted. However, my understanding is that immunity now requires them to testify (since they cannot be prosecuted) and if they refuse to give testimony they will be cited for contempt. They are not immune from contempt charges.

This seems to mean they may be required to testify against Hillary and Bill.

As I recall, Mills was given immunity because she was ostensibly Clinton’s lawyer...but she really wasn’t. These immunity deals stunk to high heaven.

I was just going to post the exact same thing - thank you for saving me the trouble.

Yup. Get them all on the witness stand under oath. One lie and they can be imprisoned. Immunity is only for the case with Hillary.

Go for it.

All the immunity granted and nobody charged. OBAMUGABE was a currupt thug.
