DailyCaller: House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (HOGR) members voted along party lines Thursday to recommend holding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton technology aide Bryan Pagliano in contempt of Congress after he defied a congressional subpoena to testify for the second time in two weeks.
“Subpoenas are not optional,” HOGR Chairman Jason Chaffetz said to the chair from which Pagliano — the sole invited witness in an HOGR hearing on Clinton’s use of private email servers at the Department of State — was supposed to testify.
But the full House must vote on the oversight panel’s contempt resolution, and the clock is running out before Congress leaves for recess next week until after the November election. Pagliano, who managed Clinton’s email system, has already pleaded the Fifth Amendment multiple times before congressional committees. Pagliano’s lawyers indicated to the committee he would do the same if he appeared before HOGR Thursday.
