Hillary Clinton is the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. That’s why it’s so important that the Justice Department just granted immunity to a former State Department staffer. This particular staffer worked on Clinton’s private email server, “as part of a criminal investigation into the possible mishandling of classified information.” The Washington Post,
Here’s the thing: The Democratic establishment, a long while back, put all of its eggs in the Clinton basket…
All of which should make Democrats very nervous that Pagliano, the 2008 Clinton campaign staffer who set up the private server in 2009, has been granted immunity by the Justice Department…
The kindest possible reading of this news for Clinton is that Pagliano was simply nervous about talking about how — and why — he had set up the email server and granting him immunity lets him speak freely without any concern that he might get into trouble.
Maybe. But it’s my strong impression that the Justice Department doesn’t go around granting immunity to people unless they think that the person getting the immunity has things to tell that might shed light on an important part of the investigation. After all, if Pagliano a) knew nothing or b) did nothing wrong, why would he need immunity to talk to the FBI?
