Special counsel Robert Mueller has reportedly given a key Democratic operative immunity to testify against former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.

According to Tucker Carlson, speaking Thursday evening on his Fox News program, Mr. Mueller has offered immunity to Tony Podesta, founder of the Podesta Group and brother of former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.

Mr. Carlson cited “two sources” whom he did not name.

Both Mr. Manafort and the Podesta Group worked on a campaign named the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine

“Hell...even 4chan cut Q off and kicked him out.”

Now that’s one of the biggest lies I have ever seen. Q left 4chan of their own accord. And 4chan was ticked when it happened. Q claimed that 4chan was compromised.

I am not telling you to like Q or to believe in Q. But you don’t need to lie about Q or anything else. Save that for the MSM.

Not surprising that someone would tell such an in your face Lie! Honestly I am a little ticked at Q right about now. But you just read a lie that is easily fact checked.

Most everyone except Drudge (always last) has the story now. They all give credit to Tucker though.

It IS what 4chan claimed and keep the Q CRAP on it’s own threads, please; it doesn’t belong on real NEWS threads.

If this is true, it is Mueller trying to provoke Trump into firing him.

My advice would be - don’t, until nearly every Repub is on board.

The big rule of politics is to unite your supporters, and divide your opponents.

Firing Mueller too soon will divide Repubs and unite Dems.

Even Repub Swamp Men like Trey Gowdy won’t defend Mueller on a move like this.

I want Mueller to have accountability for the anthrax investigation, Steven Hatfill, Bruce Ivins, Whitey Bulger, IRS non-investigation, ... the lot

That can’t happen if he is given an easy off ramp by Trump.

Once Mueller’s “impeccable” reputation is shattered even amongst Repub Swamp Men, he will be Trump’s hapless prey.

Manafort doesn’t deserve this, although he is a bit of a sleaze. So he is going to have to sit in jail for a few more months before he gets pardoned.

The only reason I am saying anything here about Q is because you are telling lies. And I don’t like lies. Just Like I do not like it when democrats tell lies to get their way.

NONSENSE!

And other Qers have also posted to this NEWS thread; instead of keeping it to your selves/own threads.

Come on...you know the drill; the TRUMP RALLY THREADers kept it to just those threads, so do others who have a group, as it's the way it's done here.

Trump has NO control at all over this, so no matter what, don’t blame him.

As I understand it "use immunity" (see below) is not the same as total immunity. It is supposed to give immunity from anything resulting from one's testimony. However, what if that testimony is the same as other testimony from another witness incriminating, say, Tony Podesta?

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA Alexandria Division UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. PAUL J. MANAFORT, JR., Defendant. Case No. 1:18-cr-83 (TSE) NON-CONFIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO SEAL THE GOVERNMENT’S MOTIONS FOR USE IMMUNITY FOR TRIAL
The United States of America, by and through Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller, III, pursuant to Local Rule of
Court 49(E) of the Local Criminal Rules for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, respectfully requests an Order sealing its motions for use immunity for the trial testimony of five potential witnesses.
I. Items to Be Sealed and Necessity for Sealing
1.
The government seeks to seal five Motions for Use Immunity for Trial Testimony pertaining to potential witnesses in the trial presently scheduled for July 25, 2018

Man, we shoulda given Hitler immunity. We could have found out so much more about some of those other Nazis.

...They want Trump to pardon Manafort so they can go all head explodey (like you guys) and call Trump Emperor Ming and Hitler and stuff. The Donald is hip to this move and not gonna fall for that particular banana in the tail pipe...

What I am hoping is that Manafort has very smart lawyers and so does DJT. BUT, they can not really talk to each other on this matter, so they have to send public signals to each other.

I think when DJT pardoned the Hammonds (Oregon Standoff) he was signaling to Manafort's lawyers that a pardon for Manafort is possible once the investigation is over.

And, this pardon becomes much more politically palatable if Mueller does something stupid like letting a Podesta off for the same crime.
