Let’s make an immunity deal
Hillary Clinton’s former chief of staff Cheryl Mills and two other staffers were granted immunity as part of the now-closed FBI probe into the former secretary of state’s email practices, according to a top House Republican who questioned whether the numerous deals hindered the bureau’s ability to build a case.
“This is beyond explanation,” House oversight committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said in a statement Friday. “The FBI was handing out immunity agreements like candy. I’ve lost confidence in this investigation and I question the genuine effort in which it was carried out.”
The arrangements detailed by Chaffetz bring the total number of publicly known immunity deals in the Clinton case to five.
Chaffetz first revealed the additional deals in an interview with The Associated Press, saying “no wonder they couldn’t prosecute a case.” He said Mills gave federal investigators access to her laptop on the condition that findings couldn’t be used against her.
“Immunity deals should not be a requirement for cooperating with the FBI,” Chaffetz
I have no idea whether this is an unusual amount of immunity for a similar investigation. The article goes on to say that some of the deals were for limited immunity, so that has to be factored in, as well.
I’m sort of thinking that a Congressman would generally have no idea how to conduct a criminal investigation, any more than a Senator would know how to run a bank. That would not stop them from vaporous pontification.
Let’s hope that Rudi Guliani is the AG in the new Trump administration and hammers every one of these people from the Clintons on down. Unless the law applies to eveyone, it applies to no one and we’re stuck playing Game of Thrones.
If you saw the video message the Evil Empress sent to some union meeting in Nevada, it’s clear that she actually does not know that the e-mail clusterfrack was wrong, and she is mystified that any American voter would hold it against her.
Smoke and mirrors for the rubes.
Events have proven that the fix was in from the start. Comey never intended to present a case for prosecution.

I’m sorry but that is not merely improbable but beyond belief. She knew exactly what she was doing and, with ‘malice a forethought’.
“Immunity deals should not be a requirement for cooperating with the FBI,” Chaffetz [said]…
Perhaps they are, when you’re trying to prosecute a Clinton.
And perhaps, indeed, they eventually realized that they’d given so many immunity deals that the case was no longer prosecutable.
Regardless, I have a hard time seeing Mr. Comey in a positive light here.
If one is over 30 and believes in equality, one is childishly naive. Just do some research on Chicago.
Cheryl Mills is at the very core of the email crimes committed here. She probably obstructed justice. Also probably gave the destroy order after the House issued its subpoena. And then the FBI allowed her to claim attorney-client privelege when she had no such right as she was NOT Hillary’s lawyer at State. Andy McCarthy at NRO has covered this.
This is how the FBI threw this case: The way they handled Mills.
If Hillary wins, she’s the chief WH lawyer.
Cornhead,
You are a smart fellow. If hrc is POTUS CM becomes stalin in wIting 3020.
So this morning we learn via the weekly Fri. evening FBI document dump that PresidentIWonPenPhone was communicating with Mrs. Clinton’s private e-mail server by means of or while using a pseudonym for himself.
Turns out that Mrs. Clinton’s needful coverup was actually someone else’s needful coverup, or rather, many someone else’s needful coverup. But perhaps there is no need for the FBI to “immunize” the President, since he is the source of that power (albeit via the Constitution in the final analysis) in the first instance. Hence, he merely immunizes himself — and therefore, of course, logically, any others who properly (by his lights) follow him in lawbreaking.
Nice.
