I’m thinking he values his life and doesn’t want to risk it by testifying and incriminating Hildabeast.
Dead man walking, either way.
We’ll see Thursday. That’s when the judge rules on this.
This again?
He doesn’t have immunity in the civil case. He is pleading the 5th in the civil case.
The FBI want him - and we all want him - to plead the 5th in the civil case so that Hillary doesn’t get wind of what he knows for the criminal case.
I wouldn’t recommend starting Pagliano’s car for him. Or standing nearby as he does.
The whole concept of immunity is to induce someone to testify not take the fifth. He can’t have it both ways.

That IRS Gal got away with it. I presume he will too.
Pagliano has a justifiable fear of testifying: if he contradicts what he has told the FBI, or is forced to answer a question the FBI didn't ask, the FBI can prosecute him. It's safer to avoid testimony altogether.
Another possibility: The FBI doesn't want Pagliano to testify. Pagliano would reveal what he told the FBI, and give the rest of the Clinton Crime Syndicate a chance to change their stories.
Is someone allowed to get an immunity deal AND plead the fifth? Wouldn’t the latter nullify the former?
Why are these stories coming from Canada and not the MSM?
Regardless of the type of Immunity, I believe there is a bigger question in the Judge’s mind. The Agreement is with the DOJ not the FBI. The DOJ are lawyers. They have been running interference for Hillary against the FBI. What if the Immunity Agreement is a sham and the FBI doesn’t grasp the consequences and/or know the DOJ is playing them. This Judge may be assuring there really is a legitimate deal in place.
I wouldn’t put anything past the DOJ.
