I would not hold my breath on getting the case dismissed in an immunity hearing.

The evidentiary standard is clear and convincing (eg 90% sure) vs beyond a reasonable doubt (eg 99% sure).

Given the political nature of the case its highly unlikely the judge will grant the motion.

Can you source this? The articles I have read say that the standard of proof is "preponderance of the evidence" - that is 50%+1.
