Why so shy, Bryan?
I guess he really needed that immunity deal. I guess there must have been some hella lawbreaking going on in HillaryWorld. How else do you explain why a guy whos already been told by a judge that he cant take the Fifth just because he doesnt feel like answering questions, but can only do so to legitimately protect himself against self-incrimination, nevertheless does so 125 times in a discovery deposition?
Thats what Bryan Pagliano, who set up Hillarys schlock, homebrew e-mail server in her home in Chappaqua, New York, did in a Wednesday deposition - which was conducted as part of an open records lawsuit by Judicial Watch. Pretty much no matter what they asked, Bryan aint talking. Fox Newss Catherine Herridge has been all over this:
But if that was a pubbie, why all hell would break loose wouldn’t it...get a life!!!
FU Sean Anthony!!!
But, but, but I thought Hillary said it was a good thing that her peoples were testifying...
He ain’t talking? Isn’t that what the immunity is about? Sounds like he’s getting away with something.
She gets off and the FBI resigns en masse. What does she care if it’s after Nov.(it wii be) and she’s in the WH? She can fire them.
Unless you are a poo bah in the IRS.

Testifying in a Legal Proceeding
At trial, the Fifth Amendment gives a criminal defendant the right not to testify. This means that the prosecutor, the judge, and even the defendants own lawyer cannot force the defendant to take the witness stand against his or her will. However, a defendant who does choose to testify cannot choose to answer some questions but not others. Once the defendant takes the witness stand, this particular Fifth Amendment right is considered waived throughout the trial.
When a defendant pleads the Fifth, jurors are not permitted to take the refusal to testify into consideration when deciding whether a defendant is guilty. In the 2001 case Ohio v. Reiner, the U.S. Supreme Court held that a witness may have a reasonable fear of prosecution and yet be innocent of any wrongdoing. The [Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination] serves to protect the innocent who otherwise might be ensnared by ambiguous circumstances. This case beefed up an earlier ruling that prosecutors cant ask a jury to draw an inference of guilt from a defendants refusal to testify in his own defense.
Defendants may assert their Fifth Amendment rights during civil trials, too, if testimony would open them up to criminal charges. But they do not enjoy the same protections against jury bias with respect to liability. This means that a jury is free to make inferences when a defendant chooses not to testify in a civil trial for fear of self-incrimination. Civil defendants often claim ignorance (I dont recall) instead of pleading the Fifth in such situations.
Two different cases. He’s got immunity with the FBI’s criminal investigation, but not the Judicial Watch lawsuit. A judge said he still had to testify...so he has to go through the motions of invoking the 5th, which I understand can be used to infer that he is hiding something in that civil trial.
I would not be surprised to see this guy have a fatal ‘accident’ or suicide in the months prior to the election in November.
Pleading that many times speaks volumes.
Nothing to hide. You bet.
This is not the most transparent administration in history. It is the most redacted administration in history.
It's human nature to want to assume that someone taking the 5th is a crook but that's a dangerous thing. The right to not incriminate yourself has no meaning if invoking it has the effect of incriminating you. Prosecutors, work harder.
Lawbreaker lawbreaker lawbreaker pants on fire. Give him immunity and jail time until he talks. Or he can stay in jail long term and hope that bammy or hellary gives him a pardon for ‘doing nothing wrong’.
THIS got NO PLAY because of the kiddie’s sit in!
Taking the fifth. Why doesn’t this surprise me? Isn’t that what all those worthless, law-breaking, criminal dumb-o-crats always do? Might as well hang a “GUILTY AS CHARGED” sign over his head.
It’s too late for that. The FBI has already picked his brain.
Lewinsky did the same thing. Once she locked up an immunity deal, she had selective recall.
The IT guy’s immunity deal was based on a quid pro quo. It was a trade of info for limited immunity. The arrival of Guccifer afterwards is notable.
With that and the other public tidbits, the email case against Hillary is a lock. The NSA disclosure about Blumenthal nailed that down tight.
