The Justice Department has granted immunity to the former State Department staffer who worked on Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private email server, a sign the FBI investigation into possible criminal wrongdoing is progressing.
A senior U.S. law enforcement official said the FBI had secured the cooperation of Bryan Pagliano who worked on Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign before setting up the server in her New York home in 2009.
As the FBI looks to wrap up its investigation in the coming months, agents will likely want to interview Clinton and her senior aides about the decision to use a private server, how it was set up, and whether any of the participants knew they were sending classified information in emails, current and former officials said.
The inquiry comes against a sensitive political backdrop in which Clinton is the favorite to secure the Democratic nomination for the presidency.
So far, there is no indication that prosecutors have convened a grand jury in the email investigation to subpoena testimony or documents, which would require the participation of a U.S. attorney’s office.
Spokesmen at the FBI and Justice Department would not discuss the investigation. Pagliano’s lawyer also declined to comment.
In a statement, Brian Fallon, a spokesman for the Clinton campaign, said: “As we have said since last summer, Secretary Clinton has been cooperating with the Department of Justice’s security inquiry, including offering in August to meet with them to assist their efforts if needed.”
He also said that the campaign is “pleased” that Pagliano, who invoked the Fifth amendment before Congress, is now cooperating with prosecutors.

I hope they’re following a careful script to ensure a successful prosecution.
Oh good, more non-biased information from WaPo.
I don’t mind so long as they spill the beans and put this corrupt woman away for a long time.
$50 says he ends up dead of Arkancide.
L
Democrats can get away with murder, but if a Republican sneezes then he must resign and get indicated.
The person will just “take the fifth” when interrogated.
I wish he’d been granted immunity before he testified to congress. Hillary would already be out of the country.
The whole point of granting immunity is it PREVENTS them from taking the 5th. They MUST testify.
The fellow better watch themselves. Could wind up floating face down in the Potomac.
Interesting.
I’m beginning to think they just might indict the witch. If she’s indicted at the ooint where she has won most of the delegates it frees things up to pick whomever at the rat convention. Joe Biden? Bloomingidiot?
Fauxahontas?
Sounds machiavellian enough to appeal to the rat/uniparty leadership.
When granted immunity, one waives their fifth amendment protections.
The investigation will “keep progressing” right through the November elections. If she wins, it all goes away. If she loses, she will be in chains.
What is the point of the staffer getting immunity? What would they charge her with? Did she have security clearances?
“The person will just “take the fifth” when interrogated.”
One of the deals with immunity is, since you can’t incriminate yourself, you must answer questions without pleading the 5th.
Can’t. Immunity in exchange for unrestricted Q&A. He says “5th” and they nail him to the wall.
Didn’t you read the article? He already pleaded the fifth. That’s why they’re granting him immunity.
Did DOJ buy him a vest? (Recommend a Class III at least.)
The whole point of granting immunity is it PREVENTS them from taking the 5th. They MUST testify.
Yeah but it also means he can take the fall.
Hillary says that a couple times a day. *hic*
