Mystery: Emails From Hillary’s Top Geek Are M.I.A.

[tabasco]

Bryan Pagliano set up and maintained Hillary’s Clinton’s private email server. But somehow, there’s no record that Pagliano ever sent Clinton an email while he worked for her at the State Department.
Those are the surprising, if preliminary, results from a lawsuit seeking information about State Department staffers linked to the former Secretary of State’s server, according to court documents filed Monday.
The absence of any email written or received by Pagliano, who worked for Clinton at the State Department and was the technology director of her 2008 presidential campaign, suggests an attempt to obscure his role in the controversy over Clinton’s private server, said a spokesman for the Republican National Committee, which filed the lawsuit in March.
“It’s hard to believe that an IT staffer who set up Hillary Clinton’s reckless email server never sent or received a single work-related email in the four years he worked at the State Department,” Raj Shah, the deputy communications director for the RNC, told The Daily Beast.

[Actor]

1. "It is hard to believe people who promote materials that do nothing but attack the

Democratic candidate are in anyway liberal or Democrats"

[tabasco]

2. Reporting facts is "attacking" now?

How positively 1984.

[Actor]

4. donald trump cant buy this much propaganda

[tabasco]

7. He doesn't have to.

H. Clinton's poor judgment bought it all for him.

[Actor]

8. Hear that a lot elsewhere how Hillary did this to herself. It is known as a talking point

[tabasco]

10. Also known as a fact.

Setting up a private server in her basement to conduct government business is poor judgment by any reasonable person's standards.

[Actor]

11. Poor judgment on one detail means she is a war mongering mass murderer and Trump is better

at least that is the kind of nonsensical bullshit I am reading here.

Hey, if you think there is ANY question that Hillary is ten thousand times better than Trump or any GOP, then you and I have nothing in common.

[tabasco]

13. Reading where?

I have not seen those claims in this thread. But, since you mentioned it, the vote on the Iraq war was another glaring example of H. Clinton's poor judgment and/or lack of integrity. Most Democrats in Congress had the good sense and decency to vote against the unjustified war in Iraq - acknowledged as the greatest American foreign policy disaster of the past century.

[Actor]

14. So let me get this straight. If Bernie loses, you are going to hold his record up as

the model for Hillary and if she doesnt measure up, you will risk Trump in the WH?

Is that what I am hearing?

[tabasco]

21. You are far from straight.

You're just making stuff up.

[Actor]

23. Good to hear, so you will be voting for Hillary if need be. Thanks, good to hear.

[Babel_17]

12. Check the soon to be updated Newspeak dictionary for "Democratic candidate"

Thanks in advance, Brother tabasco.

I googled that link, and I had to smile at the video up top. Doubleplusgood!

[tabasco]

24. That video is so enlightening of the mindset of the candidates.

Thanks for posting that link, Brother!

[scscholar]

16. When the FBI hasn't even interviewed her...

you know they have nothing and are just going through the motions for political theater.

[Babel_17]

27. The expectation, afaik, has generally been that if the FBI wants ...

to talk to her, her turn will come after the others we know about.

http://www.bostonherald.com/news/us_politics/2016/05/clinton_no_one_from_fbi_has_reached_out_yet_on_emails

Huma Abedin testified only around a week or so ago, so the press isn't "calling it" one way or the other yet.

[AgingAmerican]

38. So Obama's FBI is playing political theater for the GOP?

Doubtful...

[Broward]

5. Looks like we have another converted Bush donor here.

[Actor]

6. converted bush donor?

[whatchamacallit]

15. Appropriate handle you have there

[Actor]

17. Why thank you, I am a very good actor, actually. But are some folks here

disillusioned to the point they think they are in anyway liberal by allowing Donald Trump to be president?

[whatchamacallit]

18. I will exercise my constitutional right free of coercion thank you very much

I think Hillary is just a different flavor of disaster than her dear friend Trump.

[Actor]

19. That is a very very disturbing comment.

[whatchamacallit]

20. New-account unitybots

disturb me.

[Art_from_Ark]

25. Disturbing in what way?

That the Clintons and Trump are like peas in a pod?





Yeah, I would say that that is disturbing.

[Actor]

26. You dont know? Makes sense

[Art_from_Ark]

28. I'm quite familiar with Hillary

going back to her Arkansas days, when she hobnobbed with the state's richest Republicans, defended corporations in court, and did next to nothing while sitting on Sam Walton's board of directors.

[Actor]

29. Me too, thank god I have a brain though and can differentiate her from GOP

[Art_from_Ark]

34. LOL

You may have a brain, but you're fooling yourself if you think you can actually differentiate her from the GOP, especially considering, among other things, that Henry Kissinger was her mentor at the State Department and that she has spent considerable time hobnobbing with the wealthiest Republicans and even going all lovey-dovey with the Bushes.

Back in the '80s at the University of Arkansas, my professors liked to say that Hillary's sitting on the Wal-Mart board was the "best of both worlds-- Hillary gets to rub shoulders with America's Richest Man, and Sam Walton has practically a direct connection to the governor".

And Sam Walton, along with his rich Republican buddies Don Tyson and "Mr. Arkansas Republican" himself, Jackson Stephens, helped to finance Bill's 1992 presidential campaign.

[Skink]

35. Sounds like a good mob lawyer

[Fawke Em]

31. We're liberal.

But, after July 25, we might not be Democrats.

[Actor]

33. LOL .... speechless

Hell, why not.

We deserve what happens then, and what will happen under the GOP will be horrible.

But we will deserve it.

[kstewart33]

9. Wasn't Pagliano given immunity and thoroughly interviewed by the FBI?

So, what's the big deal?

Whatever happened or not, the FBI has it covered.

Time to look for another scandal, tabasco.

[Babel_17]

22. I just googled and I'm not seeing the specifics on his immunity deal

IANAL, or even all that up on the law, but IIRC there are different kinds. But, long story short, maybe the FBI had enough on him regarding the server to make him want to testify on that in exchange for what he did with the server, and his testimony regarding it, not being held against him.

If, hypothetically, he has guilty knowledge of regulations being violated regarding other parts of his employment, that could require more immunity, or more comprehensive immunity. Though I think things get very tricky once any immunity is given to someone and you later want to prosecute for anything connected to the crime that was testified about.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witness_immunity

In the United States, the prosecution may grant immunity in one of two forms. Transactional immunity, colloquially known as "blanket" or "total" immunity, completely protects the witness from future prosecution for crimes related to his or her testimony. Use and derivative use immunity prevents the prosecution only from using the witness's own testimony or any evidence derived from the testimony against the witness. However, should the prosecutor acquire evidence substantiating the supposed crime—independently of the witness's testimony—the witness may then be prosecuted for the crime. While prosecutors at the state level may offer a witness either transactional or use and derivative use immunity, at the federal level, use and derivative use immunity is quite common.

[IdaBriggs]

30. Big deal is someone destroyed government records.

Hillary didn't turn any of them in, but the 30k she deleted were recovered. Meanwhile, who deleted them - the guy with immunity, or someone else?

It's never the crime that gets conspirators caught; it's always the coverup.

[GreenPartyVoter]

39. Exactly.

[KoKo]

32. Did Brian Erase His Stuff...or did he just USE...Hillary's Private Server that he Set Up..

And, when Hillary had him "Wipe It" ....It all "JUST DISAPPEARED"....As if....by MAGIC!

Great Cover Up...If you CAN BUY IT?

[GreenPartyVoter]

37. Looks like!
