This is just BS to get the moonbat internet freaks posting this ad nauseam to the point that they all truly believe it.
It’s meant to help her out at the polls.

Correction. It’s on Drudge with a link to the Weekly Standard, where it says:

“All of Castro’s fellow CNN guests and even host Dana Bash took exception with Castro saying the Justice Department had “cleared” Clinton.”

"In either case, this is the Castro LaRaza combine paying fealty to the Clinton Machine. Julian is on the short list for 'Rat VP."

Didn't Clinton just lose the Kansas and Nebraska caucuses Saturday? Maybe the Clintons are beginning to take notice.

Exactly. But the gossip mil is alive and well in the DNC.

Actually, I love how the Dems are blaming all of this on the Reps. When it is Obama’s justice department running the circus.

All interesting info. Julian Castro is knee deep into Democrat identity politics, which will be Hillary’s strategy. Women, hispanics, and government cronies and employees will be how she hopes to get over the finish line. She views him as a perfect selection.

Hillary cannot win an election where a majority of the Democrats are white.

“...do you know who actually granted the immunity?”

_________________

I don’t believe Castro one minute; however, Michael Mukasey (former Federal Prosecutor” mentioned the authorization requirements on one of the Fox News Sunday shows this morning.

I believe that the MINIMAL official authorized would be an Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Dept. Mukasey stated that no one in the FBI is authorized to grant immunity.

“9-27.640 - Agreements Requiring Assistant Attorney General Approval
A.The attorney for the government should not enter into a non-prosecution agreement in exchange for a person’s cooperation without first obtaining the approval of the Assistant Attorney General with supervisory responsibility over the subject matter, or his/her designee...”

Understanding how the news trickle from the Current Regime works:

This is a trial balloon. Depending on the response, either deniable plausibility, or the “all clear” signal for simply dropping the pursuit of any indictment against Herself. If the reaction is strong and widespread, then stories of the declining health on the part of Herself begin to make greater and great stir in the news media, and Joe Biden/Elizabeth Warren get the nod from the Super-delegates to the Democrat National Convention, and poor old Bernie is out anyway. If the “all clear” is sounded, then the coverup will be taken up in earnest by the Current Regime, and it is back to politics as usual in the White Hut, shuffling personnel who are likely to crack under questioning to much less accessible locations, and the “slow walk” of information trickle continues until well past the election, when the files may be sent to the Orwellian “memory hole”, and none of this ever happened.

Hillary is killing the Democrat Party.

She lost two out of three races yesterday to some guy who sweeps the stands after a Mets game.

In five years, no one will admit to being a Democrat.

________________

I am not an attorney; so, I cannot offer a legitimate opinion on your comment above. I was merely pointing out that the decision to offer immunity has to come from someone in the Justice Dept at the Assistant Attorney General level or higher; therefore, Castro is not in a position to have knowledge or exert influence upon the process.
