The State Department aide who helped set up Hillary Clintons private email server asked a federal court to withhold details about his immunity deal with the FBI on Tuesday afternoon.
A federal judge had ordered Bryan Pagliano, Clintons personal IT aide, to turn over information about an immunity deal he reached with the FBI in connection to the investigation of Clintons private email server.
Pagliano filed a motion to seal the document on Tuesday afternoon, which could keep details of the agreement shielded from the public if approved by U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan.
Pagliano filed the motion in response to an ongoing lawsuit against the State Department by the watchdog group Judicial Watch.
Judge Sullivan recently ruled that Judicial Watchs attorneys could depose Pagliano in the case, but the former IT aide indicated he would exercise his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent during the questioning. Paglianos attorneys are also fighting to prevent the deposition from being videotaped.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Aw, isn’t that special.
Some are more equal than others.
Laws are for the little people.
Judge Sullivan should DISAPPROVE the motion. TIME TO PLAY HARD BALL, JUDGE. ENOUGH ALREADY!!!
Is this guy helping or betraying the Clintons? What’s his deal?
The dog ate his immunity paper.
Now they can fight the issue of “I should be able to withhold details of my immunity deal” up to the SCOTUS and back a few times. That’ll be good for a two or three year delay.
Screw’m to the wall....
This the judge who allowed Sen. Ted Stevens to be railroaded to a conviction (overturned after the election).
He’s scum.
toss the weasle in jail.... let him bunk with Butch for a few days...
Another surprise that a Federal judge has an agenda....
Shock... pure Shock !!
The man already has immunity from the feds. Why does he need to plead the fifth? Something very strange is going on. Is a federal agency objecting to the release?
He’s also the judge who has been forcing the State Dept. to release the Beast’s emails and requiring the depositions of her entourage.
Doesn’t an immunity deal mean you agreed to testify in return for not being charged?
He’s been told he’s invited to a picnic at Ft. Marcy Park if he doesn’t cooperate.
Bull crap! Pagliano's atty filed the motion under direct order of the Clinton Crime Machine.
I was just thinking of posting something similar to what you said. Thanks.

No, that’ wrong. The FBI does not want him testifying in the JW civil case and thereby alerting the Clinton team to what he is saying to the FBI in the criminal probe. It would be bad for us if he is forced to give testimony in the civil FOIA case brought by JW until such time as Clinton herself has been questioned in the criminal probe.
The effort to delay is paramount to Hillary’s chances. He wants to seal the agreement. what if it is not a real valid Immunity Agreement. It could be a DOJ covering for Hillary worthless piece of paper. Team Hillary is paying for his lawyer(s). The DOJ has a lawyer in this guys corner. He doesn’t seem to be in any danger. What could he possibly said to help Hillary? Why is the DOJ covering this up? She already knows what he did tell the FBI and doesn’t appear too concerned. I doubt anyone could be naive enough to think this is not all a scam.
