Maybe, just maybe, there really is a serious criminal investigation underway...

Maybe, just maybe, there really is a serious criminal investigation underway...  I speak of the DOJ's investigation of Hillary Clinton's private email server carrying classified information.  Yesterday's grant of immunity to a Hillary State Department staffer – one involved in setting up that email server – is a significant step, and one that's hard to imagine if there wasn't a serious investigation underway.  These grants of immunity are offered in exchange for open testimony, generally only when the testimony of an insider can get the information needed.  When someone has been granted immunity from prosecution, they can no longer rely on the right against self-incrimination – because they can't incriminate themselves when they have immunity.

It will be most interesting to see what comes out of this...
