Bombshell NYT article Covered on Rachel: George Nader GRANTED IMMUNITY by Mueller

Apparently about the 100s of millions of dollars flowing into the RNC and Trump political organizations in exchange for hard stance on Iran and Qatar as well as ousting Tillerson and other actions that have been influenced.

For Mueller to grant Immunity, Nader must have something BIG.

There is a reason why republicans are going to the mat for Trump. They are protecting against discovery of their own wrongdoings.

It could simply be that Nader had the necessary next link in the investigation, and Mueller needed it to move on.

they're investigating, but information he might provide could implicate him in something else.

For example, he might have failed to register as a lobbyist under FARA, which is rarely prosecuted but could potentially carry prison time.

Many years ago I saw a movie, comedy type, that had a scene in French Court, where a little old lady was pictured periodically saying "guillotine, guillotine, guillotine".

Some years ago as I understand, but to give that a pass would be unfathomable by the likes of Mueller. So what he can give them must be close to the jackpot level

I am glad he didn't flee like I assumed he would, sort of like Manafort. If he has immunity then this is BIG.

This is beyond money luaundering.
