Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson. Two of Clinton’s staffers while she was Secretary of State. Also both the subject of a reported ‘side deal’ between them and the FBI. The deal states that the FBI could go through their laptops and collect information on all that was going on with the Clinton email controversy, but then the laptops would be destroyed and they would be provided immunity according to Fox News.
What people want to know is why? Why provide immunity AND destroy any evidence if nothing on there was going to be used against them? House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte wrote a letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch demanding an explanation to this question. The agreement also limited all of the information that was deemed usable to be only from before January 2015 the Washington Examiner reports.
All these stipulations don’t really add up unfortunately, but there’s nothing anyone can really do about it at this point. Mills, the former Chief of Staff under Clinton, and Samuelson, a former campaign staffer and now a lawyer to Clinton, are now protected, and according to Brian Fallon, a Clinton spokesman, told reporters that they complied with authorities on what was asked of them (although it is reported that Mills walked out on her first interview because she was upset by the questions that were put to her).
While all of this really just raises more questions than answers, it does bring about a certain thought that everyone should be asking themselves and that is what could have potentially been hiding behind all that data, no matter what side of the politics you’re on.
