All five people appear to work at various financial institutions that have been linked to Manafort either in court filings or published reports.

John Brennan. James Brennan? Are these the same person.
No
John O. Brennan is the ex-CIA Director......James Brennan? No clue, but not the CIA guy
Typical prosecutor tactic. Withhold evidence until the last minute just before the trial when they had the evidence for months before the trial. A decent judge would den use of the evidence unless it was favorable to the defendant. If it was favorable to the defendant, that would be reason enough to dismiss the charges in most cases.
Well you think that because Tucker Carlson reported it last week, and it was picked up by the right-wing press and published as a fact. They theory Tucker was propounding was the Tony Podesta was one of the five people Mueller had asked for immunity and also the keep their names sealed.
Today Mueller got his immunity grants, but the Judge ruled the names had to be made public.
So, it appears at this point that Tucker was wrong, and Podesta has not been given immunity.
At least that is my interpretation of all this, perhaps someone has a different view?
The media will put collusion and Russian in the same sentence and make it appear to be Russian collusion and idiots will believe it which includes political idiots.
5 Criminals get to walk for giving up Manafort.
James Brennan? Not John Brennan?
James Brennan is some kind of banker or financial guy. This is essentially about tax evasion.
Thank you.
Yeah, well you sure know how to ruin a perfectly good conspiracy thread.
That’s good news.
BTW, I didn’t hear it from Tucker because I haven’t watched him in a while. I can’t stand to watch Libs talk over him while he makes faces.
I had heard it somewhere but can’t remember where. There’s so much going on I can’t remember or keep up with it all.
Another FReeper just told me it isn’t true. That’s good news.
Never bite on ‘use’ immunity. Always hold out for ‘transactional’, and if the prosecutor won’t give it, take the 5th and flip him off.
What these ‘witnesses’ are probably looking for is immunity from perjury charges.
...and go to jail for contempt. Use immunity is all that is required to compel testimony.

Sometimes a little time for contempt beats a long stretch of hard time.
With Gestapo Muller as the prosecutor, and a tame judge who just extended the pre-trail imprisonment of Manafort without bail to bring more pressure on him, it’s a hard decision.
Maybe the best bet would be to take the stand and then try to expose the kangaroo court.
Manafort got what he wanted.
Attorney Kevin Downing had argued the defense needed more time to go through tens of thousands of documents.
