Clintons personally paid State Department staffer to maintain server
The Washington Post ^ | Rosalind S. Helderman and Carol D. Leonnig

Posted on 09/05/2015 5:23:46 AM PDT by proxy_user

,,,,

Pagliano did not list the outside income in the required personal financial disclosures he filed each year. The State Department has said Pagliano concluded his full-time service in February 2013, which coincides with Clinton’s departure as secretary. He remains a State Department contractor doing work on “mobile and remote computing functions,” according to a State Department spokesman.

......

A spokeswoman for the Senate Judiciary Committee said that Pagliano informed the committee that he would not testify after his lawyer was told that he might face questions about outside employment.

......

By early 2013, as Clinton was preparing to conclude her time as secretary of state, she was looking to upgrade the system’s security and durability, people briefed on the server have said. The system had crashed for days during Hurricane Sandy in October 2012, disrupting her e-mail abilities.

To find a company to take over for Pagliano, the Clintons turned to Tania Neild, a technology broker whose company, InfoGrate, is in Bronxville, N.Y., about 20 miles from their home.

In January 2013, weeks before Clinton’s departure from Foggy Bottom, Neild alerted a small Denver-based technology firm, Platte River Networks, to a possible contract, according to Andy Boian, a spokesman for the tech firm.

Boian said Neild’s notice included no reference to the Clintons and the company submitted a proposal for the work without knowing the identity of the famous potential client.

The whole article is interesting, but I have concentrated on two important bits of factual information:

1. Why Pagliano is refusing to testify: he is afraid of being prosecuted by the government for failing to report outside income. It therefore seems like that the committee won't care about this, and will grant him immunity.

2. How the Clintons came to be involved with Platte River Networks: evidently, it was a firm that Neild often used. The part about blind bidding is interesting.

But Hillary said she never really thought about it or something like that. This proves she thought and planned.

This is the exact same thing we went through in the 90s with Craig Livingstone. Another low-level guy who was secretly paid by Hillary to collect data on 700 enemies of Bill. The Clintons are the very personification of “those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it...”

They should still call him and let him take the fifth. Meanwhile, has the FBI or anyone else(think Kerry’s State Cleaning Service) bothered to collect all employment records and all records of his work on these computer servers. Invoices and other paperwork will show the server(s) used. Probably will show the multiple servers used and the ones we don’t know about yet. Anyone not checking is giving Hillary a pass.

Wouldn't all of these people need security clearances? Mygosh even if it were just personal information such as itinerary and whom she's meeting, it being open to hacking is bad news.

The combination of stupidity and arrogance in so many of those in power boggles the mind.

Open Mouth - LIE.

The Clintons' don't pay for what they can mooch off the taxpayer or pay-to-play donors.

Remember the tens of thousands of dollars of furniture, fixtures, art & silverware they tried to heist from the White House when Slick left office.

——This proves she thought and planned.——

i don’t give her credit for either thinking nor planning.

i think she went along with the manipulation by others that did the thinking and planning.

the very concept of an e mail server is beyond her capacity

It would be interesting to see if such paperwork exists. Did Pagliano submit detailed invoices? Did the Clintons send him a 1099? Knowing the Clintons, I suspect the answer is no to both. It is possible that Pagliano did not bother to complete a Schedule C and report the income on his 1040, either.

Platte River was probably a bit more formal. They are a company, they probably send invoices. But such invoices can be very vague: “Computer services, 37 hours at $85 a hour, total $3145”.

Of course the Clintons lie. It’s in their DNA. They can’t help themselves.

Pagliano did not list "outside income" in required annual financial disclosures....State Dept records show he concluded full-time service Feb 2013, when Hillary exited.

The Clinton money trail gets hotter.

A Senate Judiciary Committee spox said Pagliano would not testify after his lawyer was told that he might face questions about "outside employment."

This has everything to do w/ US ntl security info being electronically transferred to the Clinton Foundation....and Pagliano apparently knows a lot about it.

IN POINT OF FACT The latest State Dept release of Hillary emails shows another 150+ classified documents were found on the Clinton Foundation server......

AS DR DUDE POSTULATED: Why would the Clinton Foundation have classified emails in their possession? ANSWER: Because they generated the huge amounts of money the Clintons pocketed via bribes, honoraria, foundation donations, insider business deals, consultancies, etc...

Pagliano's resistance and ntl security emails in possession of the Clinton Foundation also explains why people pledged hundreds of millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation---b/c they got valuable US intel in return....no doubt aided and abetted by Pagliano.

UT OH: the ever-helpful Pagliano remains a State Dept tax-paid "contractor"---working on “mobile and remote computing functions,” according to a State Dept spokesman.

Gotta give it to her: Hillary always makes sure her "helpers" are paid well---by taxpayers (/snix).

Just wondering....who else left state w/ Hillary and remain on the books as tax-paid state Dept "contractors"?

<><> Huma Abedin,

<><> Huma's husband?

<><> Cheryl Mills?

<><> Cheryl mills' live-in David Domenici?

<><> Chelsea Clinton?

<><> Chelsea's husband?

So much in the article to analyze.

Let’s start here. From the article:

“The system had crashed for days during Hurricane Sandy in October 2012, disrupting her e-mail abilities.”

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/new-documents-suggest-clintons-email-server-may-have-crashed/article/2569507

“Huma Abedin, Clinton’s then-deputy chief of staff, complained that her private email was “down” the evening of Oct. 9 and into Oct. 10, 2012, according to an email chain obtained by Citizens United through the Freedom of Information Act.

“My bigger problem right now is I can’t even get into my clinton email,” Abedin wrote to Stephanie Streett, executive director of the Clinton Foundation, on Oct. 10, 2012.”

http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/13/world/americas/hurricane-sandy-fast-facts/

October 22-November 5, 2012 - Hurricane Sandy, as a hurricane and a post-tropical cyclone, kills at least 117 people in the United States and 69 more in Canada and the Caribbean. The death toll in the United States includes 53 in New York state, 34 in New Jersey, 12 in Pennsylvania, six in West Virginia, four in Connecticut, one in Maryland, and seven elsewhere in the United States.

"he would not testify after his lawyer was told that he might face questions about outside employment."

Yes, that he was being paid by Hillary for setting up her personal server (to hide her emails from Freedom of Information Act requirements), while also being paid by the State Department for work there. You can't convince me that he did all of his work for Hillary during off hours from his full time job at State.
