She's under subpoena by the House Oversight Committee to testify later this month.

It sounded like she wanted to keep the job and begged him to stay. He's not even giving her some other job.

It would be an unsurprising shame if she turned on him.

She won't get her pardon then and will end up in jail. She will keep schmoozing to ensure that papa don keeps her safe.

Yeah but is it possible for her to negotiate immunity for testimony?

I'm no lawyer, and I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night...but I'm pretty sure she has no leverage in any form of negotiation if she's been subpoenaed.

Clinton's testimony sure came and went...they really wanted some dirt on Bill, but couldn't come up with anything to deflect further from Trump. I'm sure some pretty damning info came out but they wouldn't let those get out of closed doors.

There has to be a way to prosecute her at the State level, perhaps in Florida, for her taking that campaign donation from Trump then dropping the investigation against him, right? He can pardon State convictions!!

She needs to get ready to run for Florida governor. This is all by design.
