A question about 'granting immunity'

[_MeDotOrg]

Okay, I'm going to my free attorney here, Res Ipsa.

Someone told me today that when Allen Weisselberg's grant of immunity does not necessarily that he has a charge that is pending against him (meaning the grant of immunity is not necessarily quid pro quo situation), but that a grant of immunity compels him to testify without taking the 5th. Just wanting to know if anyone has any clarification on that.

Anyone? Better Call Saul?

Perhaps they will grant immunity for a whole slew of other charges in exchange for Weisselberg's testimony on other wrongdoings, including that High Crimes and Misdemeanor stuff.

On Thursday, the president’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, confirmed speculation that clemency could be in the offing, telling The Washington Post that Manafort was indeed among several individuals Trump had discussed pardoning.

The Republican Congress could help take the pressure off of Trump by passing a law making it legal for presidential and congressional candidates to seek any and all help from foreign governments in their election bid.

A further statute that the media not be allowed to report or talk about foreign assistance for American elections would also help. The ball now needs to be served on the Republican Congressional feet of clay court.
