Like Combetta, Mills and Pagliano were granted limited immunity deals by the Justice Department, but in such a high profile case, legal experts said the deals would not go through without senior FBI leadership consultation. "Sure that’s why the guy wouldn't talk with us without immunity," Comey replied. Republicans also alleged, based on the FBI evidence, that Combetta lied to the FBI and still kept his immunity deal. Congressman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., challenged Comey on the Mills immunity deal, which he said was much broader than previously reported.
