A former aide to Hillary Rodham Clinton who helped set up the server that housed Mrs. Clinton’s private email account plans to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights in response to congressional questions about the email practices, according to two people briefed on the matter. The former aide, Bryan Pagliano, was subpoenaed to testify before the House committee investigating the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya. But a lawyer for Mr. Pagliano, Mark MacDougall, has told the committee that Mr. Pagliano will decline to answer their questions and assert his Fifth Amendment privilege. ​Mr. ​Pagliano was the information technology director for Mrs. Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign and then worked at the State Department as an adviser and special projects manager for its chief technology officer, according to his LinkedIn page. He left the State Department in February 2013, the same month Mrs. Clinton stepped down as secretary of state. It’s not clear why Mr. Pagliano is refusing to answer questions about the server. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating how classified information was handled in connection with the account, but no evidence has surfaced that Mr. Pagliano had anything to do with how those materials were handled. ​Mr. ​MacDougall declined to comment. The Republican-controlled committee had planned to call Mr. Pagliano to testify behind closed doors, similar to how it has interviewed ​some top aides to Mrs. Clinton​,​ and Americans who were on the ground in Benghazi.​ ​Even if Mr. Pagliano does not back down from his refusal to testify, the panel will most likely still call him to testify and force him to invoke the Fifth Amendment rights in ​person, in ​response to questions.​ Mr. Pagliano’s response to the subpoena was first reported by The Washington Post Mrs. Clinton’s longtime lawyer and adviser, Cheryl Mills, is scheduled to testify

.......Chinese Fire drill...........there is no such thing as “accountability” in the federal government and all 545 of them play the game. Mainly, I will cover your ass but you have to cover mine when the time comes!
Well, let me correct myself and say 95% of the fab 545. There are a handful with some character.
If the feds do this right they will get hard evidence on certain people, enough to convict them and then strike certain immunity deals. And when that happens everyone with immunity will sing like a canary which will get the perps (especially Hillary) convicted.
Thanks. I hadn’t run across that piece.
Dang, gonna miss Sullivan’s testimony too.
We know he used a Droid.

Finally learned how to retweet from twidroid :-)
I wonder if he programmed the system to change the confidentilaity codes for each email.
There are no constitutional rights if treason has been committed.
If Hillary is not convicted, I propose a Annual “Hillary Rage Day”, A day where all US citizens disregard all US, State and Local Laws. An day when 350 million people act just like Hillary, violate every law on the books, and The police also join in. Turn the US to utter Chaos. And if anyone asks, we are just acting like Hillary Clinton. She said she was one of us, so lets be just like her. Screw all laws, rules and orders. We will do as we darn well please, just like Hillary does.
“Hillary Day of Rage” Day of chaos and disorder!
I’d maybe agree if someone gave me $2,000,000,000+
“Eventually, they’ll just grant him immunity, which will nullify his Fifth Amendment to not testify. That’s probably what his lawyer is going for”
Doubt he will take it. He will be a hero and guaranteed life employment in RAT circles by keeping his mouth shut. But squeal on Hillery and his life will be ruined if not over.
That is almost certainly not the case. It would take a very good programmer to do that and from what is known to date he was not even a very good administrator, a career path which requires much less skill than programming.
To strip classification codes automatically that would have to be done at the SMTP level before it got to the server in order to maintain deniability.
"If I Were the Devil..."
by Paul Harvey
If I were the prince of darkness, I would want to engulf the whole world in darkness.I'd have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I would not be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree — thee.
So, I would set about however necessary to take over the United States.
I'd subvert the churches first, and I would begin with a campaign of whispers.
With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: "Do as you please."
To the young, I would whisper that the Bible is a myth. I would convince the children that man created God instead of the other way around. I'd confide that what's bad is good and what's good is square.
And the old, I would teach to pray after me, "Our Father, which are in Washington ..."
Then, I'd get organized, I'd educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting.
I'd peddle narcotics to whom I could. I'd sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. I'd tranquilize the rest with pills.
If I were the devil, I'd soon have families at war with themselves, churches at war with themselves and nations at war with themselves until each, in its turn, was consumed.
And with promises of higher ratings, I'd have mesmerizing media fanning the flames.
If I were the devil, I would encourage schools to refine young intellect but neglect to discipline emotions. I'd tell teachers to let those students run wild. And before you knew it, you'd have drug-sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door.
With a decade, I'd have prisons overflowing and judges promoting pornography. Soon, I would evict God from the courthouse and the schoolhouse and them from the houses of Congress.
In his own churches, I would substitute psychology for religion and deify science. I'd lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls and church money.
If I were the devil, I'd take from those who have and give to those who wanted until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious.
What'll you bet I couldn't get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich?
I'd convince the young that marriage is old-fashioned, that swinging is more fun and that what you see on television is the way to be.
And thus, I could undress you in public and lure you into bed with diseases for which there are no cures.
In other words, if I were the devil, I'd just keep right on doing what he's doing.
> There are no constitutional rights if treason has been committed.
Are you serious or was that just a knee-jerk emotional response?
this is going to get real ugly real fast
I want to know why the server was moved in 2013 to Colorado.
I’m betting it never was moved.
I’m betting it was recreated on a new pristine server.
Nah, he’s one of the servers
Because her story is continually changing, he doesn’t dare go in there and go on record giving today’s version. It’ll change tomorrow and he’ll have perjured himself.
I don’t think it was ever moved to CO. I heard it was moved to the CO companies Data center on NJ. Well, at least what is claimed to be the server was moved to NJ. The real server was probably shredded and scattered
Let’s see how smug he is when Trump unleashes his Attorney General on him in 2017.
