“That would make it a federal agreement, not a state agreement.”
The Newsnight host said: “If she is covered under a federal agreement of immunity then does that mean she is untouchable?

Ms Sarnoff responded: “Yes, that is exactly right, in that non-prosecution agreement which seems to be an iron-clad deal because number one it was never overturned in 2018.”
I’ve read this posited but it definitely for sure does not mean that she or other associates or whatever cannot be prosecuted for crimes committed after 2008. That is if this is a real deal that is federal and not state, which I do not know. Need more info.
And that’s why the six counts she is charged with all predate the time of activities covered by that immunity agreement. They plan to argue that first, the argreement does not apply, contrary to what this article claims, but second, if that doesn’t work they will argue that these crimes were committed prior to that agreement and thus are not covered by it.
Federal non-prosecution agreements in the US only are effective concerning specifically defined and specifically enumerated charges.Generally there wopuod be no blanket immunity.
She can be charged with a crime not covered by the agreement.
Such an agreement is often made in exchange for turning state’s evidence. She may have changed her mind about providing such evidence, or maybe the DOJ changed its mind.
We will know next Tuesday what the charges are. I expect it will never go to trial because of the risk of jeopardy against certain individuals protected by the Deep State, such as the Clintons. She was likely extradited to the US to make sure she shuts up IMHO, unless AG Barr is riding herd on the case, and he has not even mentioned it publicly except to excoriate the Dept. of corrections in Epstein’s death.
