2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Am I the last to know? RW Judicial Watch will get to depose IT specialist Bryan Pagliano in April. [View all]Autumn
(48,727 posts)1. Intersting timing and questions.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton confirms that it will grill the longtime Clinton loyalist under oath, along with aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills and other officials who handled email records requests. Pagliano was key to helping ensure that Clinton was able to communicate and conduct official, often classified, government business outside secure channels and records-management systems.
Specifically, Judicial Watch lawyers will want to find out the facts and circumstances surrounding Paglianos hiring. Other lines of questioning for this star witness include:
* When was the parallel email system created? Before Clinton was sworn in as secretary?
* What government resources were used? Who else knew about it?
* Why didnt Foggy Bottom provide the secretary with an official email address or personal computing devices?
* Who besides Abedin used an email address on clintonemail.com to conduct official government business? Did anyone from the Clinton Foundation have access?
Lawyers also want to know if Pagliano was ever told to keep quiet about the off-grid system, or keep the National Archives in the dark. Or if he or other employers were reprimanded for questioning the use of it to conduct government business. Or if they were told not to fully respond to FOIA requests.

What this does is bring the issue of whether the private server was set up to avoid FOIA out into

this is a civil suit over evading FOIA, not mishandling classified information.

"Intent" has a specific judicial meaning and it is not what you would have it mean ...
