An Important Question: Has Mueller Given Comey Immunity?
2018-05-15
[Daily Caller] Out of distrust and disdain, former FBI Director James Comey memorialized his conversations with President Donald Trump from Day1 in FBI memos to his FBI colleagues. Along with his coconspirators James Clapper, John Brennan and others, he planned to set up the incoming president.

Comey had already signed the bogus application for a FISA warrant on Carter Page in October 2016, and after his meeting with President-elect Trump on January 6, 2017, Comey reported to Clapper. They deliberately placed the incoming president under a cloud of suspicion with leaks of an "investigation" of his connections with the Russians. For months, then, Comey refused to confirm what he repeatedly told the president privately‐that Trump was not the subject of the investigation.

Meanwhile, at the request of Democrats in Congress, the Inspector General for the Department of Justice was investigating Comey and his FBI for their conduct of the Clinton email "matter" for which both sides of the aisle wanted Comey fired.

Skipping down a few paragraphs to the question:

Comey knows the Inspector General of the Department of Justice is working on a mammoth report that will address what the FISA Court has already found to be serious abuses of the law by Comey’s FBI, Fourth Amendment violations against Americans, and violations of FISA by providing raw intel to two private contractors. The Inspector General’s investigation has already caused the replacement of the entire upper echelon of the FBI, including Deputy Director McCabe’s termination and criminal referral.

Yet, remarkably, the incomparable Comey does not seem to have a care in the world as he appears on every friendly platform available to him, preaches his “Higher Loyalty,” and says whatever he wants to say—including contradicting his statements to Congress and asserting now that House Intel Committee Chairman Devin Nunes effort to find the truth is “a danger” to the country.

Is James Comey so narcissistic that he thinks he is invulnerable? Or, has buddy Bob Mueller given him immunity like Comey and the Obama Department of Justice did for the Clinton cabal?

Inquiring minds want to know.

#7  If there is any sanity in this whole thing immunity would have to be something cleared by Congress.

#6  Robert Mueller never mentioned in his Special Counsel findings that he had worked with Deripaska in the past.

Monday night on Hannity Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) reminded Sean that FBI Director Chris Wray would not tell Congress if Derispaska was involved with the Russian dossier.

Here is that exchange between Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) asking Christopher Wray about Deripaska:

#5  Can a criminal DOJ grant immunity? Just saying.

#4  And what if he did - I'm sure Comey committed some crimes not included in this pardon, and some crimes since? No, ask Mike Flynn.

#3  Follows a Department of Justice pattern:

Why Did the Obama Justice Department Grant Cheryl Mills Immunity?

#2  If a 'totally independent' special prosecutor can confer immunity as well as prosecute anybody for anything...?!? Madness.

#1  May help explain Comey's cavalier attitude.
