“The devil is in the chronology,” the House Select Committee on Benghazi chairman stated in an interview on Fox News.
“We need to ask the FBI what kind of immunity did you give, and why did you give it to the triggerman. Why did you give it to the person who actually destroyed government documents?”

“The FBI and the Department of Justice gave this witness transactional immunity,” Gowdy explained. “It is tantamount to giving the trigger man immunity in a robbery case.”
“It looks like they gave immunity to the very person they most want to prosecute,” he continued. “The person who destroyed official public records after there was a subpoena and after there was a preservation order.”
