Facing a congressional subpoena, a former State Department staffer connected to Hillary Clinton's private email server has decided to invoke his Fifth Amendment right.
Attorneys for Bryan Pagliano, a former State Department staffer who received a subpoena to testify and provide documents to the House Select Committee, wrote the committee notifying Committee chairman, Trey Gowdy that Pagliano would plead the fifth.
Gowdy wants Pagliano to appear before the Benghazi Committee to provide documents “related to the servers or systems” operated and owned by Clinton.
Mr. Pagliano’s legal counsel told the committee on Tuesday that he would plead the 5th to any and all questions if he were compelled to testify.
Pagliano's decision was disappointing to the Clinton campaign, which had hoped he would testify about his IT work for the former secretary of state.
Clinton "has made every effort to answer questions and be as helpful as possible, and has encouraged her aides, current and former, to do the same, including Bryan Pagliano," a campaign aide wrote in an email.
But Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., the ranking Democrat on the committee, defended Pagliano's legal decision in a statement Wednesday night.
"Although multiple legal experts agree there is no evidence of criminal activity, it is certainly understandable that this witness' attorneys advised him to assert his Fifth Amendment rights, especially given the onslaught of wild and unsubstantiated accusations by Republican presidential candidates, Members of Congress, and others based on false leaks about the investigation," he said.
"Their insatiable desire to derail Secretary Clinton's presidential campaign at all costs has real consequences for any serious congressional effort." Pagliano worked as an IT director for Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign, and served as a special advisor to the State Department's chief technology officer between 2009 and 2013, according to a LinkedIn profile.

Horsechit!
Pleading the fith means what it means, he is refusing to testify against himself knowing the evidence would be damning.
At least 70% of Americans believe she is a criminal
Even if you are innocent, asserting your 5th Amendment right might be a smart move. It avoids getting your answers twisted, and you avoid all the the legal bills associated with hiring an attorney.

Good starter list..
YEP. But look at how many who should have been and should be - interrogated/arrested from bill and hill’s chinagate treason. Both bill and hill skated on chinagate. (Thanks to alamo-girl’s site I’ve got 135 names on my list that should have been locked up. All readers can see all those who were involved in chinagate by going to alamo-girl.com) .
Thank you for your information: “...related to the servers or systems” / as usual, one has to search practically everywhere to get the evidence that the democrats and the clinton crime family have out there. And you’ve been here for a long time also, thanks for remembering to ping me. Bttt
