A high-ranking Justice Department official believes Special Counsel Robert Mueller has granted a complete get-out-of-jail-free-card deal for disgraced FBI Director James Comey: A coveted immunity deal in exchange for cooperating as a key witness.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe immunity is a done deal,\u201d a Justice Department source said. \u201cMueller can do whatever he wants. We (Justice) have no say but after many years working criminal cases I know Comey has been given immunity. You can tell by the way he is acting now and the fact that Mueller has kept us in the dark about his investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Special Counsel spokesman Peter Carr at Justice would not comment when asked to detail the immunity arrangement between Comey and Mueller.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs this is an ongoing investigation, we will decline to comment,\u201d Carr told True Pundit.<\/p>\n
As Special Counsel, by law Mueller is permitted to strike immunity agreements without having to get approval for the Attorney General of anyone at Justice. Also he is not obligated as Special Counsel to inform Justice about who is under immunity.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s no secret Comey and Mueller are close friends, having worked together at Justice for years alongside Eric Holder. Comey has described Mueller, who also served as FBI director, as his one-time mentor. If someone in Congress cared enough to do something about it, there are no shortages of conflicts of interests at play here in what is supposed to be an impartial investigation. In fact, it\u2019s somewhat staggering.<\/p>\n
But what are friends for? Folks outside of D.C. are getting another unwelcome crash course into corruption.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n #Comey<\/a>'s leak got Mueller appointed special counsel. Comey will work behind scenes w\/ him to steer investigation. Be warned. I know both.<\/p>\n — Thomas Paine (@Thomas1774Paine) June 9, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
