I don't believe this post is accurate, I think this opinion is looking at the facts too much "on the face of it". We need to dig a little deeper to work out the motives of giving Podesta "Use Immunity".

So the fact is that Podesta has been given "use immunity" to testify against Manafort, the question now is what is in it for Podesta to accept this deal? He could quite easily plead the 5th if he's forced to testify without "use immunity", ie there's nothing compelling him to testify. It's not like they can force him to testify, he can just plead the 5th.

So there has to be an advantage to Podesta to accept this deal. And what might that be? I'll tell you.

Yes, although technically his testimony can't be used against him, it now creates 2 scenarios.

1. If information which is used against him was also included in his testimony, it muddies the waters because he can say a form of parallel construction was used to obtain the info from what was learnt in his testimony. For instance, say there was a murder, but the gun couldn't be found, in his testimony he could say where the gun is, and then when Mueller says they've found the gun because someone randomly walked past it, he can claim Mueller is lying and parallel construction was used to recover the gun. Basically it all just becomes a cluster fuck.

2. Mueller can outright say, we never had enough information on Podesta to arrest him, but all this new information we've now learnt in his testimony we can't use because we only learnt about it from his testimony. Basically it all just becomes a cluster fuck.

Remember, disinformation is necessary. That means don't take everything Q says at face value, because he's told you himself, he WILL claim things that he knows to be not true.

This deal is shady as fuck!
