Mueller Has Offered Tony Podesta Immunity To Testify in Manafort Case
[Daily Caller] Special counsel Robert Mueller has offered Clinton-connected superlobbyist Tony Podesta immunity in order to testify against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, according to Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

"Tonight we can report exclusively based on two separate sources we spoke to today that Tony Podesta has been offered immunity by Robert Mueller to testify against Paul Manafort," reported Carlson.

The Daily Caller News Foundation has not independently confirmed the report.

Podesta, whose brother is Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, worked with Manafort’s consulting firm in 2012 on a project to help a Ukrainian non-profit group that supported then-Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych.

#1 Yup. Podestas get off scot free because they're One Of Us. Manafort committed his "crimes" when he was working for the Podesta group.

Nothing happened during the few months he was working for Trump.

#2 If Tony has immunity, you can't make him testify against Clintons?

#3 Does 'spousal privilege' apply to brothers?

#4 Are they immunizing him against "all" his crimes?

#5 We can rely on the MSM to ignore the fact that Clinton associates need immunity.

#6 Is Mueller really this desperate? A blatant political hack like Podesta would have zero credibility, and any competent defense attorney would destroy him on cross-exam.

#7 Most of these enablers/fixers such as the Podesta bros never get a public vetting and yet they up in unelected positions of power working for people like the various dynasty families who have been in power. IMO, if one would really look into the background of some of these people you would find some very dark and strange rangers.
