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

Anybody worth his salt has always known Mueller was a hitman for the deepies.

While that statement is true, this board has been loaded with those telling us to trust Mueller, and that Tony Podesta was already arrested and sitting in Gitmo! Q and other fools like Impotent Rex on twitter were some of the primary sources, so anyone following them or endlessly reposting their garbage here has nowhere to hide anymore. My suggestion is to come clean and finally apologize for misleading everyone, as their hole is only getting deeper, especially since they seem to think slinging more insults at everyone who was right all along is an acceptable form of apology.

LS blocked me on twitter for arguing with him about this. The idea that Muller is on team trump was always a dumb one. And most people with a working brain knew it. The arguments that Muller was going to indict Tony Podesta before he indicted Flynn..... I mean seriously.... who believed all of that garbage?

Holder and Obama. Trump should fire Sessions, Rosenstein, Wray and terminate the Mueller probe. The majority of Americans will support him and let the chips fall where they may.

If the majority of Americans would support firing Sessions, Rosenstein, Wray and Mueller, then Trump should take action before the election.

LS had earned a very loyal following on this board, but he has gotten so invested in the “Mueller/Sessions/Rosenstein are all secretly working to arrest Hillary theory” (that he originally picked up from his Twitter cabal of Rex/Wictor/Stealth Jeff) that he’s been willing to throw it all away, and go into exile instead of just apologizing for being so terribly wrong. Usually he’ll show up one of these threads just long enough to insult those of us who tried to point him in the right direction, while continuing to post more trash from twitter.

Seems to be the self chosen fate of the Q followers too. I guess bad judgement just begets bad judgement.

That’s exactly right, and why these deceitful rumors that we can just sit back and trust Mueller/Sessions have been so destructive. Don’t have to tell you that of course, as you’ve fought the good fight as hard as anyone! Thanks!

If he gets immunity then manafort should be pardoned right now

FWIW. Here is the link to the Gateway Pundit thread from a couple of days ago that first suggested Pedo Podesta might be given immunity.

Update: Mueller Suspected of Giving Podesta Brothers Immunity to Indict Manafort and Is HIDING..

If Carlson has different sources, fine. It'll all come out. But in the meantime - I'm disregarding this as so much Fake News.

I doubt Podesta knows much of anything about Manafort. This is a way to let him off the hook.

That would make sense if Mueller was requesting total immunity, but the latest court filing in this case having to do with immunity requested “use immunity,” which means that one’s own testimony cannot be used against one. It’s not total immunity.

Apparently, Mueller is asking for "use immunity," i. e. a witness's own testimony usually can't be used against him. Link to court filing

However, Mueller could simply fail to file charges against Cinton insiders.

I believe you are correct. It really doesn’t seem to make sense any other way.

Of course Mueller could decide not to indict the Clinton insiders. In fact that sounds likely.

Creepy.

And those E-Fit images really surprised me. I keep a similar link handy since I saw it a couple of years ago.
