Why Immunity Granted To This Shadowy Figure Is Terrible News For Hillary Clinton Screen Shot 2015-06-03 at 4.51.49 PM
Hillary Clintons email scandal keeps getting crazier with news that Bryan Pagliano, the guy in charge of Hillarys home brew server has been granted immunity by the Justice Department. This means that he can share intimate details about the server he set up without the threat of prosecution. Mr. Pagliano plead the fifth and was totally uncooperative during congressional panel in September making it look like he possibly has something to hide.
Business Insider explains the significance of the news:
Pagliano presumably knows a lot, and at the very least his testimony will prompt the FBI to interview other top Clinton aides and, in all likelihood, Clinton herself, Valliere added. This is a deadly serious issue for her.
Former US Attorney General Michael Mukasey, who served under President George W. Bush, told Fox News in an interview that Paglianos deal with the Justice Department simply confirms that the investigation into Clintons setup is very serious and is not going away anytime soon.
Pagliano can tell us if there were ever discussions on the nature of what was going to be moved over onto that private server, Mukasey said, referring to the FBIs investigation into whether Clinton or her aides ever mishandled classified material while she was at the State Department.
He would be out of his mind not to volunteer everything he knows, Mukasey added. The only thing he has to lose is the possibility of being prosecuted for perjury or obstruction.
Business Insider continues:
Pagliano has remained a shadowy figure, even though he is perhaps one of the people most familiar with Clintons setup and her motivations behind wanting to use a private email server while she served in Obamas administration.
A group of lawmakers led by Sen. Chuck Grassley, the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, had sought emails belonging to Pagliano in Clintons inbox while she served as secretary of state, saying in December that it was the committees highest-priority request.
But the State Department said it could not find any emails belonging to Pagliano sent before Clinton left office in 2013
All of this is terrible news for Hillary Clinton who hoped the worst of the scandal was already behind her. Hillary Clinton continues to make history as the first woman running for POTUS while actively being investigated by the FBI.
