Yup. So we’re all on the same page:
“In the United States, the prosecution may grant immunity in one of two forms.
Transactional immunity, colloquially known as “blanket” or “total” immunity, completely protects the witness from future prosecution for crimes related to his or her testimony.
Use and derivative use immunity prevents the prosecution only from using the witness’s own testimony or any evidence derived from the testimony against the witness. However, should the prosecutor acquire evidence substantiating the supposed crime—independently of the witness’s testimony—the witness may then be prosecuted for the crime.
While prosecutors at the state level may offer a witness either transactional or use and derivative use immunity, at the federal level, use and derivative use immunity is quite common.”

A tough old political hack like Lerner won’t talk unless she’s facing prison time, and she won’t tell everything she knows if she thinks she can say just enough to stay out of prison and protect her cronies.
So yeah, the immunity should be conditioned on something along the lines, “If we find you were holding out on anything substantive, the deal’s off sweetie. You’re wearing coveralls.”
Trey Gowdy has a lot on his plate, but maybe he could be `of counsel’ to this investigation as well or recommend someone to put the blocks to these thugs.
This country won’t survive long with this crooked `Chicago-style’ administration: partisan federal government agencies targeting political “enemies” of the party in power.
