When it was first discovered Tuesday that Robert Mueller had filed a motion (full pdf below) to grant limited immunity to five witnesses; and simultaneously seal the court records -protecting them- therein; the benefactors of that immunity request were predictably expected to include: Tony Podesta, and/or John Podesta, and/or Kimberley Fritts and/or Rick Gates; in exchange for their testimony against Paul Manafort.
The reason is simple, Paul Manafort was a business associate working with Tony Podesta lobbying on behalf of Ukraine; Kimberley Fritts was Podesta’s CEO. Paul Manafort was not a registered lobbyist, violating FARA rules; however, neither was Tony or John Podesta. Manafort and the Podesta brothers were all guilty of the same crime.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller only prosecuted Paul Manafort, he did not prosecute Tony Podesta. That is an example of bias…. but wait, it gets worse. According to the motion, Tony Podesta was refusing to give testimony to Mueller and invoking his fifth amendment privilege against self-incrimination. So what does Mueller do?
Well, according to Tucker Carlson exclusive reporting tonight, Robert Mueller is giving Tony Podesta immunity…. yeah, go figure.

Yep, that appears to be the agenda.
It should be the other way around.
Which is why they are doing it.
I’m not a lawyer. Nor do I want to be.
And I did not sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night. smile.
I’m simply not sure what it means.
Agree, is backwards.
I think I’ll avoid that element.
Yes, these are very bad people.
Mr President: Time to declassify docs, name names - and start the arrests.
His new password is neener neener
Amen to that...
Guess the rules about inadmissibility of evidence don’t apply to testimony given under immunity. Very convenient.
While Manafort probably deserves federal room & board, I don’t see the point on pounding further on the guy.
Manafort only helped run a campaign office for a few months.
Mueller also needs to realize that Trump as a big wig doesn’t actually do anything of substance personally and therefore is not going to be convicted for violating any law.
They are playing to the mid term elections to present a cloud of fog, and stir up their base to feeding time.
If Sessions real motivation for his recusal was to preserve the public trust in the integrity of federal law enforcement then he has utterly and completely failed! The FBI and DOJ have been destroyed.
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
NO? No Surprise.
Yes, and not just with this case.
Think of all the incidents of mass arrest that have gone totally wacky while they chase evidence on social media and Facebook. Totally Nuts.
You ask that with a straight face?
Heh, thanks. I was throwing it out for anyone in hopes of input.
That's a fact.
Oh, but his e-mail was hacked?
No, it was compromised by phishing exploit.
