87. Ah, I was wondering because the word immunity doesn't appear anywhere in the Wells report.

Nor in any story about Deflategate, Brady, the Patriots, the Superbowl, the Wells report, on CNN or anywhere else. I'd be interested in reading more about this, but google has not been my friend so far. This would seem to be very big news that outlets would pick up on almost immediately. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before this part of the story becomes widely reported.
