Is someone allowed to get an immunity deal AND plead the fifth? Wouldn’t the latter nullify the former?
Different case.
He has a grant of immunity in the on-going criminal case to do with emails, but would tend to self-incriminate if he gave testimony in the civil case (to do with FOIA) being brought by Judicial Watch.
I'm really getting tired of posting this, but again:
This is a civil FOIA case brought by Judicial Watch. It is completely separate from the criminal case being investigated by the FBI.
The FBI's immunity in the criminal case doesn't force Pagliano to testify in the civil case. In fact, there are very good reasons for him to NOT testify.
See the link in post #18, and search for comments by "Sherlock". He explains it much better than I can, and he appears to have personal experience in the matter.
