#2 As much as I like the WATIMES, they and the rest of the media have had this immunity thing WRONG from day one. No Special Agent can grant immunity from prosecution. The DSS agents issued what is termed as a Garrity Warning to the BW guys. The Garrity Warning compels an individual to answer questions during an administrative (NOT CRIMINAL) investigation. The individual cannot refuse under penalty of dismissal for insubordination. The trade off is the agents cannot use anything the individual says against them in a crimianl case UNLESS the individual provides false statements. The wise agent stops the questioning if things look like the individual starts to incriminate himself. I have both read this warning to others and the warning has been read to me. Regardless of what the individual says, they can still be charged criminally. The investigators just have to go about things in a different way. No criminal immunity.
