Trump loyalist Kash Patel granted immunity, must testify about Trump's classified documents crimes




Federal prosecutors have granted immunity to Trump loyalist Kash Patel in a bid to compel him to testify before a federal grand jury investigating the theft and unlawful retention at Mar-a-Lago of classified documents and national defense information.

This video does a deep dive on issues surrounding grants of immunity and also discusses what happens if Patel appears before the grand jury and lies about Trump's crimes. - Glenn Kirschner - 11/03/2022.

Question. Kash has claimed trump declassified everything, right? Laura PourMeADrink Nov 2022 #4
Declassifying a top secret document requires a more formal procedure than just claiming he said so Rhiannon12866 Nov 2022 #5
Yes, but is it a crime that Patel could get punished for? Laura PourMeADrink Nov 2022 #6
He was granted immunity for his involvement in TFG's crimes, so now must testify against him Rhiannon12866 Nov 2022 #7
That's not really true. But no worries. Laura PourMeADrink Nov 2022 #8

He also pleaded the 5th.

Just wondering, what kind of leverage could they have ? Or do they have any? IOW, get it on the record that trump did declassify, so he says. But they can't prove otherwise, right?

It's almost like they know he's lying, but how would they know that?

Point is, is there legal leverage against Patel?
