Wow this entire thing stinks. Who is playing who? The Judge is going to look like a fool if he accepts that this guy can pled the 5th. This guy and Clinton should be serving life in a Maximum security lock-up like every other trader caught in the act.

With respect, I believe you misread this. The FBI does NOT want this guy testifying in the separate Judicial Watch civil case now. They want him controlled and his information secret (as well as his agreement, which may include a “proffer” of his anticipated statement) until Hillary Clinton has been interviewed by the FBI. It would be awful for her and her team to get an advance view of what this guy has until she has been interviewed. Today’s development was expected, and good.
You cannot plead the 5th if you are not at risk of being charged with a crime. It’s logical, you cannot incriminate yourself if you are immune from prosecution. That is why they grant immunity to key witnesses, to force them to reveal information. If he continues to refuse they charge him with obstruction and possibly revoke immunity and charge him with other crimes having to do with the handling and transfer of Hillary’s emails.
