The Federal Investigators involved in the Mitchell Report  gave "deals" through plea bargain to criminals in exchange for their cooperation, which contrasts the Department of Justice's objective of "prosecuting manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors; and not the players" (p. 340, Mitchell Report) and instead of prosecuting the criminals the investigators found themselves working with them.

 On Page 215 George Mitchell claimed McNamee was "possibly a sub distributor."  If he was only "possibly a sub distributor" then what crime was he so guilty of that he was offered immunity?  Considering that a court in California issued the immunity it must have been for a crime associated with California, like Balco.
