    Technically, no. But anything Donald Trump has said this entire campaign has lingered in the room like a Taco Bell fart. Whatever he says, she won't be able to ignore it.

    Somehow, this means something - right?

    As soon as the debate ends, all the pundits will say Clinton won.

    Then Internet polls will say Trump won.

    Then Trump will get a bounce in the polls, and the media will not understand it at all.

    Rep. Jason Chaffetz (CHAY'-fits), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, tells the Associated Press that Mills gave federal investigators access to her laptop on the condition that findings couldn't be used against her. Chaffetz says, "No wonder they couldn't prosecute a case. They were handing out immunity deals like candy."

    Chaffetz says the two others granted immunity were John Bentel, then-director of the State Department's Office of Information Resources Management, and Clinton aide Heather Samuelson. Two other people were previously identified as receiving immunity deals.




    Wouldn't immunity for Hillary's Chief of Staff and the others actually give them a better chance to prosecute Hillary? They would be able to "spill the beans" on Her without fear of going to jail themselves? Am I completely missing something here?

    Based on what Comey said, they should have prosecuted Clinton.

    They just didn't, that's all.

    I don't think this is true. Should Trump be prosecuted for his foundation stuff?

    Come on, man, with all the immunity deals and witnesses taking the Fifth Amendment, why would you think anything illegal or wrong might have been going on?

    Which witnesses took the Fifth Amendment? The IT guy, right?

    This is pretty rich, though. Had they not offered immunity, the right would be barking about how the fix was in and they didn't really want to get to the bottom of things.

    Spin it all you'd like, this reflects well on her.

    All those IT guys: Bryan Pagliano, Bill Thornton and Paul Combetta.

    I think you're wrong on this. The optics are terrible. It looks like a mob trial.
