A computer specialist who deleted Hillary Clintons emails despite orders from Congress to preserve them was given immunity by the Justice Department during its investigation into her personal email account, according to a law enforcement official and others briefed on the investigation.
Republicans have called for the department to investigate the deletions, but the immunity deal with the specialist, Paul Combetta, makes it unlikely that the request will go far. Representative Jason Chaffetz of Utah, the top Republican on the House oversight committee, asked the Justice Department on Tuesday to investigate whether Mrs. Clinton, her lawyers or the specialist obstructed justice when the emails were deleted in March 2015.

There are so many egregious crimes being committed, connected with this administration and Hillary I can't even keep up with it all. America is being turned into a Banana Republic before our eyes and Congress seems to be complicit in all of it.
Hey Chris Wallace of FOX News... you've got yourself a good debate question here... one the American people care about... WHY WAS THE ABOVE COMPUTER SPECIALIST (WHO DELETED HILLARY'S EMAILS) GIVEN IMMUNITY? (You can ask OTHER questions for the elites... which is usually ALL that's asked in debates...) Just for the fun of it ... ask a question WE care about...
Is there a double standard? Just WHY WAS THE ABOVE COMPUTER SPECIALIST (WHO DELETED HILLARY'S EMAILS) GIVEN IMMUNITY?
Could people in flyover be excused for crimes if 'they say they're sorry' or if they have 'friends in high places'? Is this - the United States - already a hellhole for ALL EXCEPT elites living the the wealthiest ZIP codes clustered about Washington DC?
Toss us a bone Chris Wallace - ask a few questions the American people care about...
Peaceful revolution of course. I fear if it ever goes beyond that.
Several problems for the IT guy beyond just disregarding a Congssional order. He was in possession of classified materials without clearance. He made copies of them. He transmitted them to 3rd parties over unsecure lines and maybe even sent in the mail. He put them on insecure servers and laptops and phones for HRC and her staffers to lose.
I’m told if granted immunity a person may no longer refuse to answer questions by exercising 5th Amendment rights. They needed to know what he knew, what he did, why and how he did it etc for several reasons. For sure they would want to know if he had any evidence of willful criminality or forethought from State Dept honchos. But there is also the national security issue. They would want to know where this info went so they can assess and seek to mitigate the damage to national interests. They would have to grant him immunity for him to freely provide all this information. If I’m right it makes this all the more bizarre where on one hand FBI says ‘nothing to see here move along’ while the other hand is behind its back pushing a mop to shore up the damage caused by these leaks
My guess is that zero time in jail.... Congressional Critters are too busy running for re-election and gathering campaign funds. /sarc
The spineless Stupid Party reps (all bark, no bite Gowdy), Mitch, Ryan and the rest will do nothing about this. Our Republic is being destroyed right before our eyes. They wouldn’t touch the lawless POS President because of his race. They won’t touch Clinton because of the dirt she and the Obama adm. have on them. That’s it in a nut shell folks.
Do you have a supply of fresh drinking water? Food supply? A way to heat your hose? Weapons and ammo to defend you and your loved ones?

So Nixon could have survived Watergate by ....
1. Deleting (burning) the evidence; and
2. Never appoint a special prosecutor but instead use DOJ to offer immunity to the underlings so they stay loyal.
About sum it up?

Unfort., no. You forgot a step:
0: Be a good Democrat in standing
When will this charade end?
Subpoena the little shit and let the questions destroy him and his credibility as a “dedicated public servant”.
After the 50th taking the “Fifth Amendment” position (againt self-incrimination), the public might get the hint that everyone around the Clintons are corrupt, unethical, un-American, and deserve jail time.
The transcript of his congressional appearance would/should be made required reading in every civics class and Law School across the country, along with the non-testimonies of Lois Lerner, Kosekin (sp) and Hillary, with the book title of “Perjury Attaches”.
Actions speaking louder than words? Our FBI is protecting the country - as they should - but from a publicly stated 'non-important' issue? OK... actually, that's kind of comforting. They're on the job. They just have to pretend they're not... these are strange times.
Indeed....the USA is fast becoming a third world country.
We need President Trump to restore the status quo.
Congress has made itself worthless and will accept the bribes and orders from the imperial POTUS, the Muslim who hates all who lover God, family and country. He has made Congress worthless, with the help of SCOTUS and all democrats who vote for him.
Excuse me .. but Hillary Clinton is a liar. We know that.
For that reason, you’ll never convince me that she and her lawyers did not give him the order to erase the “evidence”.
If America is so stupid that it will elect a total LIAR for President .. it’s going to be a disaster.
And .. Obama will have what he wants .. WAR in America.
