Fox-The former State Department IT specialist who set up Hillary Clinton’s private server ignored a subpoena to appear Tuesday before a House committee hearing, while other tech experts who helped maintain the system asserted their Fifth Amendment right not to testify – frustrating Republican lawmakers trying to dig deeper into the former secretary of state’s email setup.
House oversight committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said he’ll now consider a “full range of options” to address IT aide Bryan Pagliano’s “failure” to attend.
“He should be here. … It is not optional,” Chaffetz said. “His attendance is required here.”
Pagliano is considered a vital witness in the Clinton email case. He spoke previously to the FBI under immunity, telling the bureau there were no successful security breaches of the server. Pagliano also refused to answer questions last year before a House panel investigating the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya. His lawyers said at the time that Pagliano did not want to relinquish his rights under the U.S. Constitution’s Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination.
Republicans on Tuesday questioned why Pagliano would avoid the latest hearing if he had immunity, though Democrats pushed back. According to Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., Pagliano’s lawyer said the request was an “abuse of process.”
ht/ all too much
Time to jump the shark
With the Clinton mob you have two options. Plead the fifth, or get your affairs n order.
Our Consitution, our laws, our judicial system mean nothing to these assholes because they think their above it. I hope Jason can reach down and grab enough sack to make this shit stick. Nobody else has so far and he’s not real high on my tuff guy list.
Guilty …. Guilty …. Guilty
time to start locking up people
(don’t expect to see it: the RINO Congress has no balls; besides, they’re in on the scam)
One word: polonium
Will any of these caitiffs ever be convicted of anything? I never committed a crime so I am not familiar with “pleading the fifth.”
But if every DUI driver refused to breath into a breathalizer, and thus, convict himself! WHF!!!!
I hope someone’s keeping a list of names invade Trump is cheated out of this election. Fucking game on.
Does he even still exist?
“why Pagliano would avoid the latest hearing”
He’s already dead. Shot himself. With his hands tied behind his back. Hanging with his feet tied to a ceiling beam.
Lois Lerner approves the IT specialists not showing up and/or answering questions by the 5th Amendment, self incrimination.
Lois Lerner retired and is receiving a hefty Federal retirement Check for her illegal activity in which she was not compelled to answer any questions relating to her role in the corruption of the IRS scandal.
Nothing happed as a result of her pleading the 5th, what will be different here? More committee time with questions and no answers. The IT speacialists will be free and clear with the immunity given by DOJ and the Complicit FBI.
Professionalism, non-partisan, equal justice for all, Honor, Trust, Transparency and Integrity are just buzz words for Hillary’s criminal enterprise, her Staff, the DOJ and FBI.
I would not testify against Mrs. clinton w/o witness protection…and lots of cash.
Clinton ain’t nothing without her security team. She’s as dirty as satan. And even her wouldn’t touch her. I ain’t afraid of that shrew. That video was great, she was all wobbling like a fracking weeble. She’s over. Done! And those so called server techs, well they’re not as great as they think they are. Just over priced hacks. They don’t know shit. The government hires imbeciles. Idiots working for bigger idiots. Bwahahahaha.
They are not showing up so that they can avoid committing suicide.
Laws mean nothing without enforcement.
Plead the Filth and no-shows… no consequences.
See how it works?
I can see Venezuela from my house.
“He’s already dead. Shot himself. With his hands tied behind his back. Hanging with his feet tied to a ceiling beam. ”
Needs it’s own name.
DC Suicide
Clinton Suicide
3 Shot Suicide
Something..
“I would not testify against Mrs. clinton w/o witness protection…and lots of cash. ”
I would not testify against Mrs. clinton w/o her dead first…and lots of cash.
My version.
Dadof4 – We have yet to find out whut this Bitch is capable of from the grave,
but I’m looking forward to finding out!
Oh, so we now think we’re so special we can ignore a subpoena issued by Congress? And that useless piece of shit Elijah Cummings needs to go back to law school. It doesn’t matter what Pagliano’s lawyer thinks about the subpoena…….it’s a SUBPOENA FFS!
WTF is wrong with these people?
B…buuut…YOGA!
Nothing more to see!!!
*rolls eyes*
When there’s no severe penalty for breaking the “Laws of the Land”…….
there’s only lawlessness.
I was in my early teens when Watergate was going on. I can vividly remember how the Mainstream media bitched & moaned about The Missing 18-1/2 Minute Tape. It was like it was the end of the world to them.
But a laptop chock full of State secrets and emails “goes missing in the mail” and the Mainstream media doesn’t make one fucking peep about it??? Are they fucking kidding me??? They should be howling questions at the Clinton Crime Family. “Who was the laptop sent to?” “What was the tracking number?” “What was on the laptop?” “Why was the laptop being scrubbed and BleachBit’d?” “Who ordered the harddrive wiping?”
For fucks sake, I didn’t go to goddam J-School and even I know to ask these fuckin’ questions!! The Mainstream Media is dead to me. DEAD. Truly and utterly DESPICABLE and a complete betrayal of the public trust.
