Report: Mueller Has Offered Tony Podesta Immunity To Testify In Manafort Case

DC:

[…] Manafort has been indicted on numerous counts of conspiracy and fraud related to the work, which ended two years before the longtime Republican operative joined the Trump campaign.

Both Manafort and Podesta’s now-defunct lobbying firm, the Podesta Group, retroactively registered in 2017 with the Department of Justice as foreign agents of Ukraine.

Mueller’s prosecutors informed a federal judge Tuesday in Virginia, where Manafort is set to go to trial, that five witnesses would be granted immunity in order to compel them to testify. The five witnesses had indicated they would invoke their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.

Carlson asserted that Podesta receiving immunity from Mueller reveals an anti-Trump double standard in the special counsel’s probe.

“In other words, for a near identical crime, Bill and Hillary’s friend could skate and emerge completely unscathed while Paul Manafort may rot in jail,” Carlson said.  more here

  7. Brother John will probably also be given immunity soon to testify against Manafort or other low level fall guy who had nothing to do with anything that’s supposed to the focus of the Mueller investigation.

    That’s my theory on their MO since the days of the Obama nightmare. Give immunity to the worst criminals, to get them off the hook, while using them to imprison some other fall guy who is only guilty of a lesser crime, but who unfortunately isn’t a member of the elite protected class. I keep hoping this theory is wrong, but it will be kept till I see handcuffs & prison attire on the more deserving.

  11. By ostensibly defying a crucial pillar of US Justice, i.e. EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER THE LAW, hasn’t the government loudly and repeatedly signaled that we are LAWLESS?

    A pox of every, yes EVERY, friggin’ lawyer and law enforcer in the entire damn country.

    Inventory your ammo, folks.

  12. As I understand things, Manafort is charged with crimes that both preceded his involvement with the Trump campaign and had nothing to do with the Trump campaign. (Manafort failed to file required reports). Mueller is trying to smear Trump by showing that his campaign manager had engaged in criminal violations prior to his involvement with the Trump campaign.

    How can this not be anything but an overt political disinformation campaign? There are no ties between whatever Manafort did prior to his ties with Trump’s campaign and the Trump campaign, yet Mueller is relying on the public connecting two unrelated activities. Unless Mueller can tie the two together, I think Mueller should be investigated and that son of a bitch jailed if he abused his authority.

  16. So what crime did the Pedosta klan commit that requires immunity?

    Because you don’t offer immunity to the innocent because they don’t need it.

    Same thing they did in the Clinton fake e-mail investigation except that was immunity to accomplices in exchange for nothing for some reason.
