Hillary Clinton IT specialist Bryan Pagliano invoked the Fifth more than 125 times during a 90-minute, closed-door deposition Wednesday with the conservative watchdog Judicial Watch, a source with the group told Fox News.
The official said Pagliano was working off an index card and read the same crafted statement each time. “It was a sad day for government transparency,” the Judicial Watch official said, adding they asked all their questions and Pagliano invoked the Fifth Amendment right not to answer them. Pagliano was a central figure in the set-up and management of Clinton’s personal server she used exclusively for government business while secretary of state. The State Department inspector general found Clinton violated government rules with that arrangement. He was deposed as part of Judicial Watch's lawsuit seeking Clinton emails and other records. A federal judge granted discovery, in turn allowing the depositions, which is highly unusual in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. The judge cited "reasonable suspicion" Clinton and her aides were trying to avoid federal records law. Pagliano’s deposition before Judicial Watch is one of several interviews with high-profile Clinton aides, taking place as the FBI separately is continuing its federal criminal investigation. A federal court agreed to keep sealed Pagliano’s immunity deal struck with the Justice Department in December, citing the sensitivity of the FBI probe and calling it a “criminal” matter. The next Clinton aide to testify is Huma Abedin. In an earlier deposition, lawyers for senior Clinton aide Cheryl Mills, during a nearly five-hour deposition in Washington, repeatedly objected to questions about Pagliano’s role in setting up the former secretary of state’s private server. According to a transcript of that deposition which Judicial Watch released, Mills attorney Beth Wilkinson – as well as Obama administration lawyers – objected to the line of questioning about Pagliano. “I'm going to instruct her not to answer. It's a legal question,” Wilkinson responded, when asked by Judicial Watch whether Pagliano was an “agent of the Clintons” when the server was set up. A transcript of the Pagliano deposition will be reviewed and is expected to be released next week. Clinton could also be deposed in the Judicial Watch lawsuit. There was no immediate comment from Pagliano's attorney. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/06/22/clinton-it-specialist-invokes-5th-more-than-125-times-in-deposition.html?intcmp=hplnws |

 http://heavy.com/news/2016/03/bryan-pagliano-hillary-clinton-state-department-private-email-server-immunity-justice-fbi/ * Many Embedded Links* Bryan Pagliano: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know Bryan Pagliano immunity, Bryan Pagliano FBI, Bryan Pagliano State Department Bryan Pagliano, here at the Capitol, is a former IT specialist for the State Department who has been granted immunity from prosecution for his role in Hillary’s email scandal. Bryan Pagliano, a former IT specialist with the State Department during the tenure of Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, has been under intense scrutiny for his role in setting up Clinton’s private email server, through which she may have illegally received classified information. After pleading the Fifth through several House Committees, Pagliano was granted immunity by the Justice Department and will cooperate with the FBI in its investigation into the matter. Pagliano served in the State Department for four years, during part of which he was paid personally by Clinton for “IT services” that include setting up the server in question. In less controversial work, Pagliano helped expand remote work arrangements in the State Department from a D.C.-only option to give worldwide access. Here’s what you need to know: He Was Paid off the Books for His Work with Clinton Bryan Pagliano Clinton, Bryan P Pagliano first worked for Clinton as the IT director of her 2008 Presidential campaign, then worked for her political action committee after she suspended her first quest for the White House. In 2009, he joined her State Department team as an IT specialist, but continued to work for the Clintons as a private consultant to their family, and was personally paid by the Clinton family. Pagliano did not disclose the job or salary on State Department financial disclosure forms, an act that internal documents show could lead to a $10,000 fine or imprisonment. His immunity deal likely prevents these outcomes. He Pled the Fifth at Several House Committees Bryan Pagliano testimony, Bryan Pagliano immunity, Bryan Pagliano Benghazi The question of Hillary Clinton’s emails first arose during the scandal regarding the Benghazi attack. Pagliano, having left the State Department at the time, was subpoenaed by House Select Committee on Benghazi chairman Trey Gowdy regarding information “related to the servers or systems” Clinton used while Secretary of State. Pagliano’s lawyers released the following statement in response: While we understand that Mr. Pagliano’s response to this subpoena may be controversial in the current political environment, we hope that members of the Select Committee will respect our client’s right to invoke the protections of the Constitution. For these reasons, we respectfully request that the Select Committee excuse Mr. Pagliano from personally appearing on Sept. 10, 2015. Pagliano was not excused, but did not answer a question during the committee’s hearing. The Justice Department’s grant of immunity means that Pagliano can be compelled to testify. He Received Immunity & Is Cooperating with the FBI Bryan Pagliano testimony, Bryan Pagliano immunity, Bryan Pagliano emails. On March 2, the Justice Department announced that Pagliano would be granted immunity in exchange for his testimony regarding the email scandal. As the name suggests, this means that nothing he says can be used against him, but also means that he cannot invoke the Fifth Amendment to avoid answering questions. Journalists and legal experts mark this as a major turning point in the inquiry. National Review writer and former prosecutor Andrew McCarthy suggested Pagliano’s immunity deal meant there was “probably” a grand jury for Pagliano. Though he didn’t share McCarthy’s certainty, Charles Tiefer at Forbes suggested the immunity deal meant the case was coming to a conclusion. Whether Pagliano’s immunity deal was sought by his legal team or by the FBI to circumvent his Fifth Amendment invocations, his testimony is “potentially damaging” to others facing scrutiny. A key part of the investigation into Clinton involves whether she knew the information she sent and received through the private server was classified, which requires speaking to her state of mind. Free from fear of his own prosecution, Pagliano can testify (or be forced to testify) to that state of mind. Other top aides, like Huma Abedin and Jake Sullivan, may also be implicated by his testimony. Clinton, though, doesn’t seem worried. In an interview with CBS News, she dismissed concerns about any upcoming indictment: It’s a security review. I’m delighted that he has agreed to cooperate, as everyone else has, and I think we’ll be moving toward a resolution of this…I think we’re getting closer and closer to wrapping this up. I also know that there were reports today about the hundreds of officials and the thousand emails that they were sending back and forth that have been looked at and classified retroactively. This really raises serious questions about this whole process, I think. In His Government Career, He Pioneered Remote Work for State Employees Not all of Pagliano’s work was particularly controversial. The State Department’s remote work, or “teleworking,” capabilities were initially confined to the Washington, D.C. area. Pagliano stated in an interview with Trezza Media Group, part of which is seen above, that Foreign Service Officers rotating into D.C. as part of their duties gave rave reviews of the system and wanted access in their regular embassies. Pagliano, as a member of the Information Resource Management Bureau, helped expand the system around the world. Pagliano left the State Department in 2013 to serve as an analyst at technology firm Gartner, a position he held for one year. While at Gartner, however, Pagliano continued to perform contract work for the State Department, which was terminated at an unknown time and announced one day after his being granted immunity. Will Hillary Be Prosecuted? Hillary Clinton is accused of conducting classified State Department business through a private email server, which could potentially bring an FBI indictment. |

Besides this, there are lawsuits against Clinton and the DNC that are far more important. Not that ambassador Stevens his staff and their lives or the since changed regulations on outside servers being retroactively broken. Illegal actions other than the use of the server involving the emails took place that should have been placed above the general use of an outside server. The charge of general use is the skate on which she's using to slide to freedom. We didn't have a democratic election. Thanks Hill.
Hopefully these lawsuits are adjudicated in a timely manner and bring about not just an impeachment but also a sentence that bans her and Bill from all politics and political donations. I don't stand with her. |

Well, until we get the actual facts involved, we don't know what this really means.
People always like to assume that anyone who "pleads the fifth" is functionally declaring that they have damning evidence they are hiding, or that they are guilty themselves. However, most of the time, the refusal to testify is the direct result of how the legal system here works. If they answer even ONE question after protecting themselves from potential self-incrimination, they automatically lose the ability to reuse to answer EVERY question. Especially when the obvious goal of the people asking, is to find something, ANYTHING to prosecute the person for, doing anything BUT pleading the fifth is unwise. |

Top Clinton Aid Pleads 5th 125 Times That doesn't mean all that much. Is it a legal strategy to buy time? Is the aide actually scared? Or did the lawyer just say "Hey, just plead the fifth when they ask something. It's part of my strategy." Is it an attempt to buy better immunity? Or did the immunity deal fall through? If a person has an immunity deal and refuses to answer questions, I think they can be held in contempt of court for not answering. What kind of questions are being asked? Are they of the "yes or no, do you still enjoy beating your wife" or "witch hunt" variety? Are the questions related to what he's been granted immunity for, or are they asking questions about another subject altogether? Are they questions he actually has information about or understands? It was a sad day for government transparency, Not really. Not if: A transcript of the Pagliano deposition will be reviewed and is expected to be released next week. the transcript is actually released next week. It's more a sad day for news as the article is premature at best. It shouldn't have been written at least, IMO, until the actual transcripts were released. It's just manipulative click bait until then. No different than if the headline were "This guy refused to answer a question! What is he trying to hide!?!?! Terrorists?!?!?!" www.foxnews.com Oh. That explains it. What's the Fox News motto? "We like to be fair and balanced. Well, we like to pretend we're fair and balanced when really we're just manipulative and want plausible deniability for libel. We cant come out and directly say something. So we rely on heavily loading our verbiage to lead to certain conclusions that are very useful in confirmation bias. Which means you might say something, but since we didn't it's okay." Something like that. |

Oh yeah...... but obviously the law holds no weight in DC or Lerner would have been jailed for contempt after making her "I'm innocent" speech to Congress, then pleading the 5th..... or Clapper's lying to Congress during his speech about the govt "not wittingly" spying on the American people, Clintons "It was a video" speech, Oblowme's famous "you can keep your Dr" speech, and Rhodes "Iran deal" statement. Actions do often speak louder than words! As Trump would say "the system is rigged"..... and not in favor of the people! Your rights are only as good as your lawyer and the Clinton crew has had the opportunity to use several in their careers..... practice (and money) makes perfect obviously for the Clintons to stay out of jail this long. Wild Willies impeachment while allowed to stay in office and it having little effect to liberals even after Hitlery's attacks and abuse of his victims while claiming to be a defender of womens rights kind of makes that point don't you think? |
