Andrew McCabe Has Reportedly Requested Immunity for Testimony in Hearing on Clinton Email Probe
2018-06-06
Immunity? But isn’t that for people who have done wrong?
[Mediaite] Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is set to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee soon, but he apparently has made a request for immunity in exchange.
According to CNN, McCabe is requesting "the Senate Judiciary Committee provide him with immunity from prosecution" in exchange for testimony on the handling of the Clinton email probe:
"Under the terms of such a grant of use immunity, no testimony or other information provided by Mr. McCabe could be used against him in a criminal case," wrote Michael Bromwich, a lawyer for McCabe, to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, who has requested McCabe testify next week.
This comes as a DOJ inspector general report on the FBI and DOJ’s handling of Clinton probe is expected very soon. President Trump tweeted this morning, "What is taking so long with the Inspector General’s Report on Crooked Hillary and Slippery James Comey. Numerous delays. Hope Report is not being changed and made weaker! There are so many horrible things to tell, the public has the right to know. Transparency!"

Bromwich said in the letter to Grassley he’s willing to give the committee emails that "demonstrate that Mr. McCabe advised former Director Comey, in October 2016, that Mr. McCabe was working with FBI colleagues to correct inaccuracies before certain media stories were published."
Grassley has also, per CNN, invited both James Comey and Loretta Lynch to testify too.

#10 All of McCabe's electronic records will be stored on magnetic tapes, under a handy magnet, deep in the FBI's Secure Evidence Storage Vault?

#8 "If he really does start naming names, he can expect a sudden bout of depression while walking in a park at night where he commits suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head. Twice."
Wait, won't there also be some sort of 'mugger' that doesn't steal anything and travels by Uber or something?
After Andy's plane crashed into the side of a mountain, that is.

#7 If he rats out on EVERYTHING, he can spend the rest of his life in jail. Otherwise, try the jerk for treason and let him ride the lightning.
