Senior Hillary Clinton aide Jake Sullivan and former tech support staffer Brian Pagliano each signed agreements with the government pledging not to disclose classified information, according to government documents released Thursday by Republicans. Both men signed the nondisclosure statements swearing to protect ´marked or unmarked classified information, including email communications,´ according to documents released by the Republican National Committee. (Photo) The document each of them signed is called a form 312, which requires federal employees to swear, under potential criminal penalty, that they won´t mishandle classified information. Sullivan is a senior campaign advisor who served as Clinton´s direct of policy planning

The article was likely written by someone that had no idea what they were saying.
Clinton’s server was just a standalone email system. Any email sent to it arrived via the public Internet.
The government doesn’t connect unclassified systems to classified systems, even in the same building. There’s an air gap between them.
There simply is no way to connect to one offsite.
Hillary’s fate may rest on agency law: vicarious liability, or respondeat superior.
She’s blamed others all her life for her own actins, but whether she likes it or not, she was responsible for her employee’s actions performed in the course of their employment. And Pagliano was a State dept. employee in the Bureau of Information Management.
His lawyers were strenuously objecting in his deposition yesterday to JW lawyers characterizing him as an “agent.”
Pagliano repeatedly took the fifth during questioning. I thought with immunity he had to answer questions?
According to the article (and it makes sense) immunity from the FBI doesn’t translate to immunity in the JW case.
“Republicans release”
They put the onus on the people exposing corruption.
How do you even exert the 5th in a civil proceeding to begin with?
2 different cases, I think.
And just because they signed something that says they agree doesnt mean they agree! It just means they signed!
And they werent documents, they were emails! What, they spilled some electrons over there? They cleaned it right up!
It was somebody ellllllse!
Except....the forms also require a witness to sign and date (in some cases there needs to be two witnesses), so that would open a whole new can of worms...
Worms can’t be witnesses. But they cannot be discriminated against, and if you’ve ever cut one in half with a shovel or callously stuck one on a fishing hook, you have sins to atone for. Plus, most worms are hermaphroditic so.......sorry, I just can’t complete this sentence.
He had to know it was classified if anything came from JWICS.
Pagliano’s immunity deal is with the FBI, for a criminal investigation.
This is a separate civil suit by Judicial Watch. The agreement doesn’t compel him to testify in that deposition.
Clinton probably told Pagliano the server was for personal and foundation email, and he didn’t know that other people were sending her classified info from State.
That’s why he cut a deal. The only question is when he discovered the breach, and whether he reported it as required by law.
Kind of a rambling discourse - I love it as it flows with the way my own ailing/sardonic/wry mind works ... ;-)
Sometimes we need to use such phraseology to keep from going all "guano crazy".
Pagliano was paid $140,000 to destroy Hillary’s email server.
Is this true? Starting to pop up on social media.
And .. this absolutely puts a LIE to almost everything Hillary has ever said about her emails; claiming that she never received any “marked” classified or secret emails.
The dirty little secret is .. SHE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN WHAT WAS CLASSIFIED and/or SECRET .. whether it had any mark or not. And, I believe it has been shown that Hillary’s staff REMOVED THE MARKINGS just so Hillary could make that claim.
TRUMP IS RIGHT: HILLARY NEEDS TO GO TO JAIL.
