Who says he wasn't suspected of a crime? We're not being told everything at this stage, are we?

You have no way of knowing that.

You said being suspected of a crime is the only case when they grant immunity, which is obviously not true. I asked which crime he was suspected of, and now it is obvious you have no idea if he is not, you just assumed he was.

Based on what? Immunity deals aren't given by the FBI for no reason.

Is the left trying to claim that the FBI investigation is somehow a political witch hunt by the GOP?

That would be like questioning her gardener for ignoring the human hands sticking up out of the ground in the rose garden. I mean talk about a witch hunt!

Of course there is a reason, but contrary to what you claimed, the reason does not have to be the fact that the person is suspected of a crime .

Then why grant immunity? It wouldn't be necessary under your premise. Just question the person supposedly "not suspected of a crime."

We won't hurt you if you tell us what you know.

It's not like waterboarding.

It's different.

They don't grant immunity without knowing what he is going to say. That is already hammered out behind closed doors beforehand.
