She is posturing for immunity. If you don't remember, it was John Dean getting limited immunity that really got the ball rolling with the resignation of Richard (I am not a crook) Nixon. I would think that some sort of deal is in the works. The one caveat in all of this is that if there are federal laws that have been broken (or suspected of being broken) the deal has to be run by a USA. Good luck.

Let's try it this way: Jake, the reason that your dominionist nonsense should be criminalized is because it is the pernicious organism that feeds the root of American Exceptionalism, the doctrine which justifies the American Oligarchy's demand for unfettered economic opportunity, while denying it to the rest of the world. It is the reason you can't see the immorality of the American occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. It is the reason you supported the obscene criminality of Reagan's Iran-Contra. It is the reason why you prefer partisan politics of corruption and theft instead of a joint effort to share the commonwealth of this great land. In the final analysis, if I could find one justifiable point of contention between God and myself, it would be that she failed to create an eternal lake of fire for those who propagate the dominionist fraud.
