Giving this it's own thread due to the developing story hitting a "mainstream" outlet, and the way it absolutely nails the timelines between Oversight requests and the questions on Reddit.

what if the Watergate burglars had NEVER gone to jail...?

There’d be total outrage and chaos.

YET, that’s what we have with this guy.

I’m shocked Combetta didn’t find himself going for a walk at 4 o’clock in the morning with Seth Rich.

This go will go to jail...but it may be a while. He’ll go...and probably take a half dozen with him.

Immunity deals are thrown out when the perp fails to fess up all the way - or lie.

Trump will have a different FBI

I take it this info wasn’t discovered by the FBI? If not, then just how “thorough” could their investigation have been?

Poor slob is sleeping with one eye open these days, lest he accidentally commit suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head twice.

They gave him immunity, he told them a story, they said “good enough for us!”

I hope this becomes YUGE.

It COMPLETELY establishes the “intent” Comey said was not present.

Reddit users may also want to do searches for earlier questions like: ‘a VIP (very VIP) friend asks what are the best places to hide 200 lb objects in Fort Marcy Park?’ or ‘my VIP (very VIP) boss wants me to find the best way to wash a blue denim dress without someone knowing’ or ‘a very VIP friend asks if ice really reduce swelling of injured lips?’

It occurs to me that you can grant immunity for two reasons. The first, and most obvious, is because you want the truth, and the testimony can help you catch a bigger and guiltier fish.

The more Machavellian second reason, which has only occurred to me recently, is that it's a way to hide the truth if the prosecuting authority wishes to. If you grant immunity, and then don't ask any questions, the information NEVER comes out. It's like the tree falling in the forest where no one is listening.

Reddit is deleting info as quickly as it is posted there. I hate to send anyone to this place, but if you can sort the wheat from the chaff, these guys have both details and timelines:

Citizen sleuths just doing the job that the media and Fraudulent Bureau of Investigation can't won't do.

Nope, an ordinary citizen researcher: Katica

This whole sordid soap opera makes me puke. Anyone who even wrote a derogatory tweet about this could be PC’ed into Hades, whilst this Harridan keeps snidely damning us normal, hard working schlubs for her own political benefit. I hope Trump wipes the gutter she fell into with her and straightens things here and darn soon.

I wasn’t sure if this was going to go mainstream or not. This could be huge. I am sure they will throw others under the bus, but seriously, how can the FBI not reopen things? I dont see how Hillary could survive this, what with her scraping by last time.. but then who knows.. Truth is, as long as this mortally wounds her without getting her replaced, I am good.
