Federal Bureau of Immunity

In yet another jaw-dropping revelation to the never ending email scandal, it turns out the FBI gave immunity to Cheryl Mills, Hillary Clinton's chief of staff at the State Department.  Is this an investigation or a cover-up?  Let's review from the start.

The technician who setup the server, Bryan Pagliano, invoked his fifth amendment privilege against self-incrimination 125 times during a 90 minute deposition; the FBI granted him immunity.  The Platte River Network technician who used BleachBit on the server, Paul Combetta, was granted immunity.  Amazingly, despite this grant of immunity, he too invoked his 5th Amendment right not to self-incriminate.  Isn't that the whole point of the immunity?!  You grant immunity to the lesser criminal so that his testimony will convict the greater criminal.  In this case, the FBI granted immunity and the guy won't talk.  What exactly is the FBI trying to accomplish here?  John Bentel, the IT guy at the State Dept, somehow didn't know about Hillary's private server.  Merely admitting that should be cause for firing.  Of course, he too was granted immunity.  Why?  He knew nothing!  Moving on, we come to Heather Samuelson, a lawyer who had been a staffer during the 2008 presidential campaign.  She is one of the lawyers who went through the emails to determine what was work-related.  She too was granted immunity!  And that brings us to Cheryl Mills, the Chief of Staff.  Immunity is given to people who have committed crimes!  We have a line of criminals that lead from the server all the way to Hillary Clinton's doorstep.  Combine this with the classified, top secret, and pay-for-play emails that have been recovered, and you have multiple crimes with buckets of intent.  All that immunity and not a single charge filed.
 
When will the FBI finally reveal that they offered Hillary Clinton immunity in order to have that Saturday interview?  At this point, I would not be surprised.  Roger Simon observes that this kind of blatant excusing of the elites while at the same time consistently bungling catchable domestic terrorists is ruining all faith in the FBI and the DOJ.  The rule of law must be restored or the banana republic we have will become permanent.
