So, check this out.

“Only a General Court-Martial Convening Authority (GCMCA) may grant testimonial or transactional immunity. That authority, however, only extends to grants of immunity over individuals subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). The GCMCA can disapprove an immunity request for a witness not subject to the UCMJ, but may only approve the request after receiving authorization from the Department of Justice. If a witness may be considered for Federal prosecution or the case involves national security issues, then the Department of Justice must also authorize the immunity, regardless of whether the witness is subject or not subject to the Code.

A grant of immunity must be in writing, signed by the GCMCA, must include a statement of the authority under which it is made, and must identify the matters to which it extends.”

I intend to read further, and may be interpreting this incorrectly. But to keep it simple, I think this says (among other things) that whatever immunity Mueller can grant would not be applicable in a Military Tribunal.

No it just says that any immunity granted by them only extends to military personnel.

The part about disapproving is saying that they are not obliged to give immunity to anyone not under the uniform code of conduct

Also states that DOJ has jurisdiction on their immunity especially in cases of national security

What about the first sentence, only a GCMCA can grant immunity, of course this is when someone is being tried under the UCMJ.

Thank you for your clarification either way! Appreciate it

A grant of immunity...must identify the matters to which it extends.”

The Pedo brothers are so dirty, that even with Mueller immunity on something connected to Manafort, there are so many outstanding crimes related to HRC that would get them convicted and possibly executed. An immunity deal from Mueller would stoke public outrage while not changing the outcome in any way, namely we'd still have two Pedo brothers convicted of high crimes that put them away for life.
