(5,455 posts)The FBI & DOJ did not give immunity to Pagliano unless they first have proof that Pagliano committed one or more felonies AND feel Pagliano's testimony can get them a felony conviction of someone higher up then him.
The FBI & DOJ did not extradite "Guccifer" from Romania and apparently give him a plea deal in exchange for testimony unless they feel "Guccifer's" testimony will lead to a felony conviction of someone involved in the server investigation, whether that is Hillary, Blumenthal or a senior Clinton aide remains to be seen. A felony conviction of Blumenthal or a senior Clinton aide would be very damaging to her campaign.
The FBI/DOJ investigation has been going on since August of 2015, the FBI & DOJ are NOT going to waste roughly 10 months of time, money and personnel resources if there was nothing there.
I do believe there is something this investigation. I don't think Sanders can win a general election and no Clinton supporter who refuses to even consider there could be something to this investigation is in denial and is not going to change my mind or get an answer.
