The FBI doesn’t offer immunity. The DOJ does. There’s also usually a signed document called a “proffer letter” or a “Queen for a Day” agreement that’s signed by an AUSA. I’m not sure an email would pass muster. Maybe it would, but it would certainly be a very big departure from the norm.

> The FBI doesn’t offer immunity. The DOJ does. Fair. But if the FBI gave someone a cryptographically signed offer of immunity and the person then confessed, you don't think the case would get thrown out?

  Those types of papers get filed with the court. They don't simply shake hands (or exchange emails) before accepting a plea agreement.
