Pushing a "scandal"? This is a federal law enforcement investigation. It exists, and is serious. TwilightGardener Mar 2016 #34

I think you have your facts wrong. They're not going to announce who their target is. TwilightGardener Mar 2016 #38

Right, Gardener, you and your hubbie know more about the subject than a former lawyer with the DoS. Nitram Mar 2016 #52

I think he's wrong. I don't automatically defer to anyone's claim of expertise, especially TwilightGardener Mar 2016 #62

The article says creeksneakers2 Mar 2016 #83

That's the State Dept. IG's earlier findings (Linick) --different from the FBI's investigation. TwilightGardener Mar 2016 #85

They didn't offer him immunity over any crime creeksneakers2 Mar 2016 #82

I've read otherwise--that the federal government is pretty stingy with immunity. TwilightGardener Mar 2016 #84
