Hillary’s IT Expert Mutes Himself

Posted By Alicia Hesse On June 2, 2016 @ 1:06 PM In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled

The man suspected of setting up Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton’s private email server is shielding himself by asserting his Fifth Amendment rights in an open records lawsuit against the State Department.

IT expert Bryan Pagliano refused to answer questions from Judicial Watch, a Washington-based watchdog organization, during a deposition scheduled for Monday, according to his lawyers.

Pagliano’s lawyers asked Judicial Watch to drop its subpoena after asserting that Pagliano is declining to answer questions, but the conservative watchdog group didn’t budge.

The attorneys requested that Pagliano’s deposition only have a written transcription instead of being recorded, warning that videotaped depositions “pose a serious danger to deponents invoking the Fifth Amendment.”

“Given the constitutional implications, the absence of any proper purpose for video recording the deposition, and the considerable risk of abuse, the Court should preclude Judicial Watch, Inc. (‘Judicial Watch’) from creating an audiovisual recording of Mr. Pagliano’s deposition,” the motion filed Wednesday states.

U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan already ruled that all the recordings would be put under seal. The lawyers remain wary that the tapes could still get leaked with or without permission from the court, especially with Judicial Watch’s relentless investigations into the case, according to Politico.

“Judicial Watch may move to unseal the materials at any time. Furthermore, in the event of a leak or data breach at the court reporting company, Mr. Pagliano would be hard-pressed to prevent further dissemination and republication of the video,” Pagliano’s attorneys said.

Pagliano, who worked on Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, received even more scrutiny after cutting a deal in March with the federal government to receive immunity in exchange for cooperating with the FBI’s investigations into Clinton’s off-the-books server.

They offered Pagliano immunity and he's refused that and is taking the 5th because he said they will take excerpts and pieces of what he says and use it out of context in attack ads against Clinton.

Pagliano, who worked on Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign before helping install the so-called “homebrew” server system in her Chappaqua, N.Y. home, cut an immunity deal last fall with the Justice Department amid the FBI probe. He was recently described to Fox News by an intelligence source as a “devastating witness.”

Yes he was granted immunity, and it is obvious that he is not using it.

Now back to the answer of JT's question on why Pagliano is taking the 5th:

“Mr. Pagliano will invoke his right under the Fifth Amendment and decline to testify at the deposition noticed for June 6, 2016,” Pagliano’s lawyers, Mark MacDougall and Connor Mullin wrote in the filing.

“Given the constitutional implications, the absence of any proper purpose for video recording the deposition, and the considerable risk of abuse, the Court should preclude Judicial Watch, Inc. (“Judicial Watch”) from creating an audiovisual recording of Mr. Pagliano’s deposition,” wrote the lawyers, who work for the Clinton-connected Beltway law firm Akin Gump.

 Not what the forum simpletons wanted to see  

[oleroule]

so is he taking the 5th to protect himself or to protect shrillary?

only one of those is constitutionally protected.

and it sure seems like it's not to protect himself.

Pagliano has already spoke to the FBI under immunity that was granted to him, now Judicial watch wants to dispose him and Pagliana feels it's for political use and that they will take excerpts and pieces from his deposition video and use it unfairly against his former boss, so in that regards he is protecting Clinton from an unscrupulous and maligning use of his deposition.

 

 

Quote

 

Pagliano has cooperated with the FBI in its investigation of whether classified information was mishandled on Clinton’s server. He reportedly received immunity in exchange for his cooperation.

In Wednesday’s court filing, Pagliano’s lawyers asserted that he has been unfairly “caught up in a lawsuit with an undisputed political agenda.”

I don't care if she goes to jail. But to be honest if I were asked to testify about anything that I had apart in as far as the government is concerned I would take the fifth or executive privilege if possible.

Team Hillary’s e-mail defense is just laughable

In a communique to donors, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta tried to exculpate his candidate’s lawbreaking in the E-mailgate scandal. Alas for Hillary, Podesta’s attempt has more holes than a golf course.

“We know that our opponents will continue to try to distract us with attacks,” Podesta wrote. But State Department Inspector General Steve Linick is no right-wing Clinton-hater. The man behind last week’s brutal report on Clinton’s misdeeds was appointed by President Obama.

Linick also served as an assistant US attorney, starting in 1994 — during the presidency of William Jefferson Clinton.

“Secretary Clinton has said her use of a personal e-mail server was a mistake,” Podesta asserted.

A “mistake” is when one hits “reply all,” and dozens or hundreds of people unwittingly receive a sensitive e-mail meant for one person.

E-mailgate was no such casual gaffe. It was a deliberate and planned conspiracy in which Hillary evaded standard State Department procedures, installed an outlaw personal computer server in the basement of her Chappaqua mansion — 267 miles northeast of Foggy Bottom — and then reportedly paid aide Bryan Pagliano $140,000 to maintain that illicit equipment.

Pagliano’s supervisors, the IG discovered, “were unaware of his technical support of the Secretary’s e-mail system,” including “during working hours.”

After leaving State, Hillary had her server shipped to a facility in New Jersey associated with Platte River Networks, a Denver-based firm that lacked the security clearance to handle such sensitive gear. She then had the company try to wipe the server clean.

Some “mistake.”

“She believed she was following the practices of other Secretaries,” Podesta further claimed.

This “everybody does it” defense is like saying “all motorists break the law.” But a parking ticket is not a drunken-driving arrest. Indeed, Clinton’s abuse of state secrets is literally 1,000 times worse than what any of her predecessors did.

The State Department IG found that “Secretary [Madeleine] Albright did not use a department or personal e-mail account during her tenure, and . . . Secretary [Condoleezza] Rice did not use a personal e-mail account to conduct official business.” So neither of those two Clinton forerunners had any classified documents come or go via e-mail.

Former Secretary Colin Powell used both government and personal e-mail accounts, although he had no private server. Clinton used her private e-mail and server, to the exclusion of all official systems and addresses.

As for classified material, a March 2 memo from Inspector General Linick identified 12 documents that “contain national security information classified at the Secret or Confidential levels.” Among them, “Two of these documents were e-mails sent to Secretary Powell’s personal e-mail account; the remaining were documents transmitted to personal or unclassified accounts belonging to a member of Secretary Rice’s immediate staff and another senior Department official.”

Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal calculates that the total number of classified e-mails on Clinton’s server totaled 2,115. So, among “other Secretaries,” the final score is: Albright 0; Powell 2; Rice 0; Clinton 2,115.

Yes, Hillary. Whatever you say. “Everybody does it.”

The IG knows about these secretaries’ e-mail habits, or lack thereof, because they spoke with him. Conversely, as the report explains, “Secretary Clinton declined OIG’s request for an interview.”

Most disturbingly, Podesta writes that “there is no evidence of a breach of her e-mail server.”

Wrong! “We were attacked again so I shut [the server] down for a few min.,” Clinton Foundation alumnus and technical aide Justin Cooper wrote Hillary’s then-deputy chief of staff, Huma Abedin, in January 2011.

Abedin warned colleagues the next day not to send Hillary “anything sensitive.”

That May 13, two of Clinton’s staffers discussed Hillary’s concerns that someone was “hacking into her e-mail.” The report adds, “OIG found no evidence that the Secretary or her staff reported these incidents to computer security personnel or anyone else within the department.”

Try as he might, John Podesta cannot defend the indefensible.
