Well, howdy there, internet people.
Let's bow again.
So today we are going to talk about immunity and testimony
and what's going on and what the special counsel is up to.
If you've missed the news because of,
well, all the other news,
the special counsel's office has extended immunity offers
to a number of people in relation
the grand jury investigation of January 6th. A couple of them are fake electors.
People are wondering why he's giving immunity to people who were kind of
integral to the whole thing. Okay, so this is the way it works. You have a
Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, right? Not really. You have a Fifth
Amendment right to not incriminate yourself. If you have immunity, you
are no longer at risk of incriminating yourself. You're not a witness against
yourself at that point. Your testimony can't be used against you, therefore you
don't have a Fifth Amendment right. So what he appears to be doing is offering
this immunity to a couple of fake electors. Their testimony at that point
can be compelled. So they have immunity, they don't have the right to sit there
and say, I plead the fifth, I plead the fifth, I plead the fifth. So they have to
talk. Their options at that point are take the immunity that has been given
to them, tell the truth and walk away, or lie. And if they lie, they could end up facing other
charges. You don't have immunity for that. So that's the angle. That's the route that he's
pursuing. It appears that there have been at least three offers like this. Here's the important part
to understand here. Not just can they compel the testimony, if they're giving
people immunity, it means that they have found probable criminal conduct. Once
they start handing out immunity, it's pretty clear that there are crimes and
that people will end up being indicted. So you can look at it from the
perspective of, well, he's playing this angle to get more information, and that's
true. But by the time they've reached this point, they've already got a pretty
good case because really what they're looking for now is not somebody to give
them new information. What they're looking for is for somebody to provide
context to information that they already have and put it into a nice neat little
package for a grand jury and then maybe later a real jury, a criminal jury.
So that's what's going on there.
As is a recurring theme when it comes to legal situations lately, this is really bad news
the former president and for anybody else involved in the paperwork aspects
of January 6th because realistically speaking the odds are these people are
going to talk and since they were according to the reporting fake
electors themselves they're probably going to have a lot of information and
they will be able to put context to emails, phone logs, conversations that
are said to have happened but they don't have anybody that's firsthand, stuff like
that. So this is a pretty clear indication that the special counsel's
office has uncovered what they believe to be criminal conduct that should be
charged. So to get the framing for it, they're going to give a couple of people
immunity and then it will proceed from there. Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all
Have a good day.
