Notice he gave the immunity deals to Clinton's aides *after* writing up the 'not pressing charges' memo.

It managed to do 2 things:

1) Help make the sham investigation more convincing - ooh he's granting immunity, he's trying to get them to spill something. So to sell the fix, which was definitely in.
2) No, this was to make sure the aides knew they were in the clear so they *wouldn't* spill anything in some attempt to shift blame from themselves. Make sure the whitewash held.

How exactly is *Comey* not in, or under, a prison?
