The Justice Department was told to grant immunity to a former State Department staffer, who worked on Hillary Clinton’s private email server, as part of a criminal investigation into the possible mishandling of classified information, according to a senior law enforcement office.

FIFY

This one could cut either way. Immunity is a tool prosecutors use when they want to go after a bigger fish. It's also a tool politicians use when they want to bury a case. Who knows which this is right now?

Man I don't see this one ending on a happy note whichever way it falls...a lot of people either want her prosecuted or think she can do no wrong.

Hmmmmm

Call me naive, but I take that to mean that the staffer is given immunity to testify against Hilary. I don't know though.

Now there's also Bill campaigning near/on an election site in Massachusetts. You know that he/they know better, but obviously they just don't care.

Hmmmmm

What do you mean, hmmm? Surely you are not insinuating they are conspiring to let everyone off? Surely you are intelligent enough to realize this is a very common practice of prosecutors to get someone to talk and cooperate with an ongoing investigation? (Not to defend or conspire against the investigative target, just open up flow of information/evidence).

Expect the slough-off in May/June, according to what I read this morning. FBI will be done then, and DOJ will bury it.

Considering that Pagliano already invoked the Fifth Amendment, I see this as a deal with investigators/prosecutors to get him to answer questions he wouldn't answer before. Now if he tries to refuse to answer he can be held in contempt. All of the defenses put forth in this case are weak, from Pagliano's claim that he was "just following instructions" to Hillary's feeble "it wasn't marked classified."

I thought she would have at least hired an outside firm specializing in running Exchange servers. It appears she hand picked some staffer? That's even worse IMO.

The justice dept will not touch this. Nothing will happen to Hillary.

Hmmmmm as in Hillary's camp has been adamant that this is just a routine security review and not a criminal investigation.

That would have only solved part of the issue, there are a whole host of other security concerns with this beyond the configuration of the Exchange servers.

He wasn't just some strap hanger with no experience -- he is an IT specialist and he installed the mail server for her 2008 presidential campaign. She just kept using it after becoming secretary of state. Anyway, the real issue isn't use of the server, the real issues are lack of any system for ensuring that her e-mails were made part of the public record, and the biggie of sending and receiving classified information on that server. The latter is what the FBI and all the intelligence agencies are looking at -- as quoted in the article, “There was wrongdoing,” said a former senior law enforcement official. “But was it criminal wrongdoing?”

I found it interesting that people think David Petraeus was treated so badly for his screwup, but the FBI thought he got away much too easy and that it set a precedent that won't allow them to go all the way with investigating Hillary.
