While I agree with everything that should happen to Hillary, I think the Feds are playing a different game. They are going to hide Guccifer in plain sight. All they have to do is let him sit in prison for 18 months. They can’t talk to him without a lawyer. I am sure that has all been settled. He doesn’t have immunity so “nothing” is happening. He will be shipped back to Europe without being touched. No one will ever see or hear about the docs he has in the cloud. He is getting credit in Europe for the time he is in the US Prison system. This is all for naught. If he was in Europe, more could leak out and that is why he was brought here.
Being here allows his name to be included in the proposed witness list offered to Justice. Even if he is never called, his presence mitigates Justice in declining to prosecute, one less excuse they could cite.
That doesn’t match what Guccifer said in Romania. He wants to talk. It’s taken quite a while for the FBI to get permission to bring him to this country. I don’t think taking a deposition there is the same as testifying in front of a jury. He’ll be able to provide testimony about what he’s read and possibly provide copies of the material from the cloud.
This looks like an end run around Hillary’s defense. Guccifer’s lawyer will have no reason to object to the prosecution’s questions. That means every thing Guccifer learned about Hillary’s racketeering will be public record. The FBI probably started deposing Guccifer under oath the day after he arrived.
Keep in mind Guccifer has already been indicted. His testimony plus the details from Pagliano don’t bode well for Hillary.
