(50,130 posts)and apparently he is claiming the same immunity for this FOIA case.
We do not know what kind of immunity he was granted. And it appears the judge wants clarification of his claim that immunity should prevail in this FOIA case, as well.
That's all I know, but I will watch for analyses from any sources.
I can always count on good DUers to clear the fog.

(13,877 posts)I expect many "little details" to emerge. So, time will tell. The magic two weeks...the GE...and, god help us, the Presidency will be marred by dropping shoes on a regular basis.
Missing minutes on the tape a few decades and technologies ago, now thousands of missing emails...and then there's the Foundation. This will go on for a long time.
`
but I have read that the investigation of the Foundation can follow the report by the FBI.

(13,877 posts)the truth, if it leads to a deposition. I may be a Bernie supporter, but I lived through one Watergate, and god help me, don't want to live through another.

Unfortunately.

(13,877 posts)expansion of technology then to now. Social media and the internet were not around, and it was pretty easy for the Big Three Networks and PBS to avoid talking about it. Hard to remember the time when there were only 4 television stations!
I'm sure had there been an internet back then, the same scenario would be playing out. Ironically, I was attending Richard Nixon's alma mater...a Liberal, Liberal Arts College. We hung him in effigy. It was not a pretty time.

(491 posts)They have already gone around behind the scenes. Can they step in here and tell the judge, listen, here's the agreement. This guy is to keep his mouth shut till we are done here?
