Obama's Justice Department Just Gave Bryan Pagliano Immunity and Bernie Sanders the Presidency

[Bubzer]

Hillary supporters everywhere most likely don't care, but this development, and the testimony (free from any legal consequences) of the man who set up Clinton's computer apparatus, secures Bernie Sanders's front-runner status as the Democratic nominee. The DNC would be engaging in political suicide by entering November 8, 2016 with a nominee linked to a person just granted immunity from President Obama's Justice Department, primarily because there's a reason this man was granted immunity in the first place.

Connect the dots while being honest with these developments, and only one logical progression, if Democrats actually want to win this year, must take place: Bernie Sanders saves the Democratic Party from Hillary Clinton and defeats Donald Trump by 8 points. Yes, Bernie defeats Trump by a wider margin than Clinton in a general election.

Trump wins with a Democratic nominee linked not only to an FBI investigation, but to aides being given immunity for their testimony.

Bernie Sanders already defeats Donald Trump by a much wider margin than Clinton's 3.4-point victory on average, without an FBI investigation, and without an associate enjoying legal immunity from the Justice Department.

The FBI is investigating whether Mrs. Clinton’s email arrangement violated laws governing the handling of classified information.

The FBI, Justice Department and Mr. Pagliano’s lawyer all declined to talk to the Post.

But prominent legal scholar Jonathan Turley said the report, if true, is not good news for Mrs. Clinton, the Democratic presidential front-runner.

“DOJ does not give immunity without something valuable from a potential target like Bryan Pagliano. The situation just got more precarious,” tweeted Mr. Turley, a law professor at the George Washington University.

Update from Turley:

In a move that can only be viewed as ominous by the Clinton legal team, the Justice Department has granted immunity to former State Department staffer, Bryan Pagliano, who worked on Hillary Clinton’s private email server. Pagliano had refused to cooperate after invoking his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. He was an obvious target of potential criminal charges if he knew that the server was meant to circumvent federal laws, including the mishandling of classified information. Update: there is a new report that investigators are zeroing in on the possibility that passwords were exchanged to allow people to access classified sites (and explaining how classified information seem to “jump the gap” between secure and non-secure systems). That is a strictly prohibited practice.

1. That is hyperbole. And I am a Berning man. nt

2. Maybe...but I dont think it is.

I think this is a fairly legitimate statement

3. Goodman is not capable of anything other than hyperbole

'Berning Man' here too. Yes there's an investigation but we won't know what's up until it is done. Despite the pontifications of spinmeisters on the right or Mr Goodman.

7. Got something better than the Moonie Times? Not interested in giving them clicks

Surely there's a source that covers what Turley is saying that isn't so damn right-wing 'icky'.

8. Direct from Turley...

9. Thanks!

10. No problem!

15. The article is hyperbole, but immunity is not good news for HRC, despite the narrative being

spun by her supporters. It will be interesting to see whether this next round of interviews occurs in a timely fashion.
