Strzok Texts Suggest Discussions About Giving Huma Abedin Immunity

Daily Caller—Congressional investigators are puzzling over a December 2016 text message that suggests the Justice Department sought to grant immunity to Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

In a Dec. 13, 2016 text exchange, FBI counterintelligence official Peter Strzok sent his mistress, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, a text message referring to a conversation he had with the Justice Department discussing immunity and potential grand jury testimony.

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee released the text message along with 384 pages of additional records on Wednesday.

“Talked with DoJ about HA interview,” Strzok wrote to Page.

“Told them we had to interview, no immunity. They said they thought that would get counsel to the point of saying she’s either taking the 5th in the Gj or you need to give her immunity. I said that’s fine, please have discussions to get the decision to that point and I would run it up the chain.”

The initials “HA,” the gender reference and other text messages that Strzok sent in that time frame strongly suggest that he was referring to Abedin.

A day before the text about immunity, Strzok said that a top FBI official had offered to meet with Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall.

Kendall did not represent Abedin in the email case so it is unclear why the FBI sought to meet with him. A lawyer who represented Abedin on the email matter did not respond to a request for comment.  more here

  1. Considering the importance(?, prominence?, big britches?) of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice, how do they ever get to “interview” anyone? Anyone, at all? If the FBI and/or DOJ take the time to contact you, who doesn’t take the fifth, unless given immunity? Written, signed, approved by your lawyer.
