If the 1/6 committee has to give immunity to a few mid-level Trump people in order to take Donald Trump down, then do it. Just coordinate with the DOJ so that it's done right.
The pundits yelling "bad idea!" are just trying to make themselves look smarter than the 1/6 committee.

These are the pundits who always bash the 1/6 committee for not being "aggressive" enough. Then when the committee considers an aggressive move, these same pundits always bash that idea. They automatically bash any move the committee does or doesn't make. It's just their brand.
If the committee gives immunity to Eastman, these pundits will say it should have been given to Clark instead.
If the committee gives immunity to Clark, these pundits will say it should have gone to Eastman instead.
It's an automatic rejection of the committee's every move.

Not only do these kinds of pundits give you zero insight into what's going on, they're also ROOTING for the committee to fail. Then they can say "see, told you the committee would fail, if it had had done things my way it would have worked, because I'm the only smart one."
95% of political pundits are con artists whose only goal is to some off as "the smart one" so they can get retweets and cable news bookings. Most of the time that involves dishonestly bashing the leaders of their own side, so they can come off as smarter than those leaders.
Most pundits are perfectly willing to sabotage their own side's prospects in order to boost their own careers. If they can make their side's leaders fail, then those leaders look dumb, making it easier for the pundit to look "smart" in comparison.
Getting ahead is the ONLY thing that most pundits care about. If they wanted their side to win, they'd tell you how to put in the work in order to win. But the pundits are better off when their side loses, so they can say "should have done it my (nonsensically simplistic) way!"
Most pundits spend every day telling you that your side is going to lose, and then they pat themselves on the back for "telling you what you don't want to hear" and then you mistake their con artistry for earnestness. Which is their goal.
The pundits spend every day telling you that we're all TOTALLY DOOMED unless someone on our side waves a magic wand by this time tomorrow. And then no one waves a magic wand, and we're never doomed. It's such laugh out loud bullshit. But the next day you fall for it yet again.
These pundits repeat their laughably simplistic magic wand ideas over and over again each day, until you start to believe they're somehow real. Then you also start bashing your side's leaders for not waving some magic wand.
It's straight up fraud. 95% of political pundits are snake oil salesman who sell you laughable magic wand ideas and then bash their own side's leaders for not acting on those magic wand ideas. Its politics for morons. And nearly everyone uses it to get ahead.
