Apparently a Clinton aide that helped Hillary set up and maintain her private e-mail account has pleaded the 5th amendment.

Should the aide be given immunity like John Dean was with Nixon?

To be clear whodey, Not a "private email account".
But rather a private server.

OK then.

Should the aide be given immunity so they will talk?

I would give him immunity for sure.
But then again we are dealing w/the Clintons.
It might be better to offer him the witness protection program.

Before we go down the "witness protection program" path, it might be wise to consider that Hillary's practice of using her private e mail (while clearly not very smart) was not technically illegal, in addition, laws regarding this type of action are not as clear cut as you might think.

I read the links you provided and no where did I find that the "legal community" does not think she broke any laws as you claim.

Some in the "legal community" think she may very well have broken federal national security laws. Specifically the mishandling of classified information on unsecured networks.

This is the latest from Hildabeast.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday her use of a private email system at the State Department wasn't the "best choice" and acknowledged she didn't "stop and think" about her email set-up when she became President Barack Obama's secretary of state in 2009.

"You know, I was not thinking a lot when I got in. There was so much work to be done. We had so many problems around the world," Clinton said.

"I didn't really stop and think what kind of email system will there be?"The Democratic presidential front-runner said in an interview with NBC News that she was immediately confronted by a number of global hotspots after joining the new Obama administration as its top diplomat and didn't think much about her email after arriving at her new job.

But Clinton did not apologize for her decision when asked directly, "Are you sorry?" Instead, she again said she wishes she had "made a different choice" and that she takes responsibility for the decision to use a private email account and server based at her home in suburban New York.

She added it was a choice that should not raise questions about her judgment

She did not stop and think?

She is that much closer to turning into Sarah Palin.

True. It would not be as easy as to rat out Nixon. Even if she were given immunity, her life might be made a living hell by the mighty DNC establishment that runs the country.

As to the first, the Secretary of State is not a person "without authority" to remove documents, so the statute is inapplicable.

As to the second, yes you pointed it out in the other thread, but never answered this rather relevant question:

no1: Who is it alleged received such material?
