The decision to grant immunity to Bryan Pagliano, the Clinton aide who placed the private email server in her home, makes clear the FBI is conducting a criminal investigation and has convened a grand jury, said former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova

Granting Immunity During Investigations Is Not Unusual, And Does Not Imply Criminal Wrongdoing

New York Times: Pagliano Received "Limited Immunity" Is Commonly Requested And Received Even In Cases In Which Witnesses Have Nothing To Hide. --In a March 3 article, the New York Times' Matt Apuzzo reported Bryan Pagliano has received "limited immunity" from the FBI, noting "It is common for lawyers to request -- and receive -- such deals before allowing their clients to cooperate." The Times also noted that "Independent lawyers say this is true even in cases in which witnesses have nothing to hide." The article cited Barbara Van Gelder, a lawyer "who has represented numerous witnesses in high-profile congressional and Justice Department investigations" as stating "Just because someone gets immunity isn't indicative of guilt. It's indicative of protection":

Mr. Pagliano, who last year invoked his Fifth Amendment right not to testify before Congress, cooperated with the F.B.I. under a limited immunity deal. Limited immunity, which means that prosecutors may not use Mr. Pagliano's words against him, is a far more narrow agreement than what is commonly known as "blanket immunity," in which the government promises not to prosecute someone for crimes.

Mark MacDougall, Mr. Pagliano's lawyer, said in an email that the limited immunity deal allowed his client to answer specific questions from investigators freely. "That's all there is to it," Mr. MacDougall said in an email. "Every citizen has that right. The government has the authority to grant immunity in order to obtain answers. In this case, they exercised that authority, we reached an agreement, and Bryan answered the questions."

It is common for lawyers to request -- and receive -- such deals before allowing their clients to cooperate. Independent lawyers say that is true even in cases in which witnesses have nothing to hide."

Any good lawyer is going to say 'I want immunity before I talk,'" said Barbara Van Gelder, a Washington lawyer with the firm Cozen O'Connor, who has represented numerous witnesses in high-profile congressional and Justice Department investigations. "Just because someone gets immunity isn't indicative of guilt. It's just protection."
