Hi IP, my understanding is that the question was asked by a shareholder (also a journalist) of Immelt at the most recent Annual Shareholder meeting. It was during an open question period. It made me start thinking that Representative Gowdy could/should pursue the emails from all domestic contributors to the Clinton group. If I were prosecuting, I would want the emails from others before questioning Hillary. Your thoughts?
In reading his proposed questions I believe that Hillary will never voluntarily agree to testify. When she does (under subpoena) she would be smart to take the 5th. She’s had her chance, and will not be able to bend the truth to conform to her desire. The dragnet is slowly closing around her.

I agree that there is no way Hillary can actually answer the Gowdy questions without risking at least potential jail-time. (Of course, being a civilized society, we don’t actually jail Clintons so actual jail-time is problematic.)
But, Even given that, the risks from Hillary’s POV will still look very high. My guess is she will decline to testify and make the bet that Gowdy will not subpoena her. If he does then I expect her to fight it. We should have some serious popcorn time on hands over the next few months.
And yes, I agree that Gowdy should go after all the emails from the secondary sources like GE.
