Did Mueller give Comey a get out of jail free card?
I forget what it is called! Someone rejigger my memory!

& can TRUMP void that?

I believe the word you're looking for is immunity.

And as a general rule, no, Trump cannot rescind immunity once given.

Well, he can, but at trial any information gleaned under immunity will be thrown out of court.

“And as a general rule, no, Trump cannot rescind immunity once given.“

What if the person given immunity lies? Doesn’t that void it?

Mueller’s appointment was unconstitutional and illegal (see appointments clause in the Constitution). Rosenstein and Mueller to be indicted for seditious conspiracy.

Grants of immunity cannot be given unilaterally by a prosecutor. They have to be approved by the head of the DOJ Criminal Division as well as the AG/DAG.

Immunity comes with conditions and limitations that must be followed.

If a Special Counsel has the authority to grant immunity without agreement from his boss (POTUS), then that MUST be changed in the statute as it is extra-constitutional.

Also, under what authority is this “immunity” honored by the Judiciary? Upon what statute can an investigator rest in granting “summary” immunity in a court proceeding?

Just curious as to how this works.
