Justice Dept. Grants Immunity To Staffer Who Set Up Clinton Email Server (washingtonpost.com)

schwit1 writes with this news from the Washington Post: The Justice Department has granted immunity to the former State Department staffer who worked on Hillary Rodham Clinton's private email server, a sign the FBI investigation into possible criminal wrongdoing is progressing. A senior U.S. law enforcement official said the FBI had secured the cooperation of Bryan Pagliano, who worked on Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign before setting up the server in her New York home in 2009. As the FBI looks to wrap up its investigation in the coming months, agents will likely want to interview Clinton and her senior aides about the decision to use a private server, how it was set up, and whether any of the participants knew they were sending classified information in emails, current and former officials said. The inquiry comes against a sensitive political backdrop in which Clinton is the favorite to secure the Democratic nomination for the presidency.

This is backwards.

Clinton is not a technical person and probably didn't have any idea that this setup was not secure. She is not completely without blame because she should have just used State's system from the start, but it wasn't intentional and it really wasn't her wrongdoing.

This staffer, on the other hand, who set this system up for her knew exactly what he was doing and by his actions placed government secrets into easy access to foreign players, hackers, etc. As far as I'm concerned he should be charged with treason and not given immunity. Throw him into Leavenworth and don't ever let the sun shine on his pale clammy skin ever again.
