Justice Dept. Granted Immunity to Specialist Who Deleted Hillary Clinton’s Emails
New York Times ^ | Sept 8,2016 | By ADAM GOLDMAN and MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT

A computer specialist who deleted Hillary Clinton’s 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.

That essentially hushes up that source of embarrassment to Hillary. It was either grant him immunity or Arkincide him.

Uh, maybe I am missing something here, but isn't the purpose of granting immunity to someone is to ensure that they spill their guts testifying against a bigger fish - not to shut them up?

Yep. “Department of Justice Obstruction.” — “DJO”

Obama instructing DJO to provide all cover possible for the Clinton Criminal. All GOP in the House and Senate should be screaming bloody murder over all this cover up. Yet, what do we hear? Mostly crickets.

I enjoyed Andy McCarthy’s proposal the other day to impeach Clinton so she is ineligible to ever hold any office ever again.

Normally that’s how it works. Yeah. Normally. In this case however, he doesn’t have to be completely honest and will never be prosecuted if he tells a little white lie or doesn’t remember or had no criminal intent.

Obama is letting drug dealers out of prison.

Obama is giving our money to Iran.

Obama is sabotaging our judicial system.

What the hell else does he have to do before the press and the Republican leadership finally call him on it?

Start beheading Christians?

Comey isn't sleeping well at night.

"In an attempt to push back on Republican criticism of the F.B.I.’s decision to close the case, Mr. Comey sent a letter to bureau employees on Wednesday that explained his decision and said the bureau had tried to be transparent by releasing documents from the investigation.

“Through public statements, testimony (4 hours and 40 minutes without stopping, but who’s counting) and prompt document productions, we have offered unprecedented transparency of the high-quality work your colleagues did in the case,” Mr. Comey said."

"Department of Justice"

In the Orwellian sense, of course.

“I can’t remember if I heard it or read it, but I understand the guy has disappeared...”

Granted, from my/our standpoint, it’s hard to sympathize with ANY of the scumbags associated with this beotch - BUT -

If this kid has ANY brains, even after making the grave mistake of siding with EVIL, even being naive about how politics works in the long run with these TRAITORS - I’d run like hell, too!

Someone needs to push for his testimony, if there ever was one. That is the reason for immunity is it not?

Isn't it funny that not a peep from the Lion of the Senate McCain on any of this Clinton Crime Syndicate shenanigans. He is in full dementia and / or is behind the scenes running Dem interference to cover his own felonies.

Granting immunity to someone who offers you nothing?
