Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s email woes aren’t done yet.
Clinton’s previously tight-lipped former email chief Brian Pagliano, who set-up her controversial email server and refused to answer previous questions in public, may soon be facing a large fine — or even prison time — for ignoring a Congressional subpoena.
Could this threat of punishment finally motivate the email guru to spill the beans in public? Supporters of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump certainly hope so.
A House committee voted on Thursday to hold Pagliano in contempt of Congress for his refusal to appear before them. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee approved the contempt resolution on a 19-15 party-line vote. The resolution states that Bryan Pagliano, the computer specialist tasked with establishing Clinton’s server while she was secretary of state, did not comply with two subpoenas ordering him to appear before the panel.
The committee chairman, Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, said the contempt resolution was forced by Pagliano’s refusal to comply with the subpoenas.
“This committee cannot operate – it cannot perform its duty, nor can any committee of Congress – if its subpoenas are ignored,” Chaffetz said.
Contempt of Congress can carry with it up to a year in prison, which is a mighty hammer. And most people who have been charged end up backing down to avoid criminal consequences.
But Pagliano has thumbed his nose at Congress before. He also refused to answer questions last year before a House panel investigating the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.
He later spoke to the FBI under immunity, telling the bureau there were no successful security breaches of the home-brew server, located at Clinton’s home in suburban New York City.
Pagliano said he was aware of many failed login attempts that he described as “brute force attacks.”
The email issue has shadowed Clinton’s candidacy for president, and Republicans have been steadfast in focusing on her use of a private server for government business, with several high-profile hearings leading up to the election. Chaffetz and other Republicans have cast Clinton as reckless with U.S. national security by insisting on using private communications systems at potentially greater risk of being penetrated by Chinese and Russian hackers.
With just weeks to go before the election, should Pagliano be worried enough to finally confess before Congress, it could cost Clinton big.

The bottom line here should be if and when these people, IRS Commissioner, Lois Lerner, Hillary Clinton, Obama etc etc etc are brought before Congress to testify, they cannot invoke the 5th ammendmant because they work for the American People. The People who pay the BILLS have a right to know the truth….not LIES that we are currently used to hearing. This whole government is out of control and needs to be put in CHECK. When testifying under oath and you’re caught in a lie……off you go to prison until you decide to tell the truth…….ENOUGH of this BS ……! They ALL need to be OUSTED….Murder’s, Thieves and Liar’s….!
Bravo , farmer john……
I have seen hundreds of people plead the fifth during Congressional interrogations. Congressmen, business people, politicians, religious people. The constitution does not have , unless clause. No shows can be in contempt of congress, never really heard of one of them being incarcerated. Pretty much every Congressional interrogation is a political sideshow to make Congress look like they are doing something or to get political gain. If the Judicial side wants they can press charges, but pretty much never do. Think the bank debacle.
The judicual side, with cornies and lackies of a failed and corrupt Adninstration, will never bring charges against their partners in crime. The American people must come together and oust these arrogant, crooked, lying scoundrels.
AMEN!!!
Strange how quickly the ‘ax’ falls on the heads of the ‘lesser’ minions! Yet, those who are more guilty still walk free! Not to say they are ‘innocent’ by any means but–when are Obama and Hillary going to be held accountable for their corrupt and traitorous behavior against the citizens of this country–or will they?!!
The purpose of the 5th Amendment is to protect people from being forced to admit their guilt for a crime in which they may (or may not) have participated.
Hillary swears there was no crime. However, by the people in the hearing pleading the 5th, they admit there was a crime, but they will not testify against themselves as to their guilt in their complicity.
So, Hillary, was there a crime or not? If not, why are the witnesses saying (by their 5th Amendment pleas) there was a crime? You can’t have it both ways.
Great comment, thanks.
When someone gets immunity, they cannot be prosecuted, so they cannot say anything that might might be used against them later. That is B.S. they are worried about saying something that might incriminate their boss and Democrat’s RIGGED nominee
….and President Transparent is running interference for her all the way. Obama’s worrying about his legacy, They called me a racist when I said Ray Nagin Mayor of New Orleans was a criminal after Hurricane Katrina. Where is he now? In Prison. They can call me a racist again I don’t care Obama and the Clintons are way more criminal than Nagin ever dreamed of being. Hopefully they can visit him soon.
They are pleading the 5th because they do not want to be “mysteriously” murder with a pillow in their sleep! They may not go to prison for what they say under immunity, but, immunity does not protect them from everything.
You dam right, congress should do there job and put lots people in jail
Helloooo! We need another body bag.
Very true, there better be a warehouse full of body bags kept handy with the Clinton body count growing and only going to increase as long as the Clinton’s are getting away with it.
46 dead and missing due to Clintons, 4 dead soldiers, and 123 rapped by Bill-that is DEPLOYABLE. HOW DO YOU SPELL JAIL !!! JIM
Clinton Snitches end up in Ditches!
Mr. Pagliano WILL NOT SHOW UP! Mr. Pagliano is probably already dead. No one has found his remains yet, but sooner or later they’ll surface. If he isn’t dead, he certainly knows his appearance would shorten his life considerably.
H e may decide to end it all, suicide, one shot to the back of the head and one to the side either of them will kill him and prevent the second, but that is what the last Clinton suicide did. He shot himself twice (not possible) but then she was sure that is what he did.
Mr Pagliono isn’t dead and the Clintons will pay him handsomly to take the fall. You see what a nice house Sanders bought after he kissed up to HRC. and Commey I’m sure will be comfy Linda the AG will get paid and get a supreme Court appt. the Clintons have millions in the foundation to spend.
Let’s get the evidence that the Clintons are paying off these stooges !
It’s why he won’t talk. I think the last count was 34 who had associations with the Clintons . Doesn’t include her hands all over 4 deaths in Benghazi which she didn’t recall it was in Libya. She doesn’t have any health problems though . She will just fall, go blank and cough and shake her way into the White House . Then when she lasts a couple months and they have to resign her to a home, the lame street media will say”We didnt see that one coming.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they have stock in a body bag manufacturing company. Dead people increase their wealth.
That’s why he probably won’t spill what he knows. He’d rather do jail time than morgue time.
YOU ARE SO RIGHT.
The question is why would anyone even get mixed up with them?
Million of voters are, Aholes
or even vote for them ?
For the money.
A large fine & 10 years in jail!!!
JAIL IS TOO GOOD FOR ANY Clinton !!! JIM
Absolutely the government has held itself on a pedestal of being high and dry never being forced to tell the truth…on both sides but the Clintons are way wrong in thinking they can continue to support their wicked ways and be able to get by with it. It is just too wrong for this to continue
Amen!
I totally agree farmer John we the people have had enough of there lies and GREED! They all need to be out, new blood in the WH! Term limits for all of them and make them actually work for their paycheck!
Annette, couldn’t have said it better and have been saying out for all of them for 40 years. The pres is already limited, now it’s time to limit the lifers. Leave your perks at the door, I hear Walmart needs greeters.
I remember when I was younger I was watching the news, they were talking about a meeting at the Israeli Knesset, I was watching and a 4 door Mercury Monarch pulled up in front by the doors at the building the meeting was being held at. Three members got out and the 4th parked the car and walked back to the entrance. I was thinking then – How come all of our politicians ride around in private Limousines?
I don’t normally like Warren Buffett, but, I do like his idea of the new amendment – that anything congress passes applies equally to them as it does us and applies to us equally as it does them.
They can give up their cadillac health plans and go on Obamacare too. They voted for it – they should at least be forced to use it.
You said it all in a nutshell Good Job —–
YOU ARE SO RIGHT FARMER JOHN, BUT WHO IS HERE TO CARRY ALL THESE F—KS TO JAIL, WE THE PEOPLE CAN’T IT HAS TO BE ONE OF THEM BUT WHO OF THEM WOULD DO THAT. VERY FRUSTRATING.
I agree 100%.
Totally agree.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee approved the contempt resolution on a 19-15 party-line vote?? 19-15 Vote on Contempt of The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee when it’s perfectly clear that not showing up would be a contempt? Doesn’t this sound like 44% of the committee is crooked?
Useless as t-ts on a bull!
No, it shows they are Democrat and don’t believe in following rules. Every Republican voted “yes”. Every Democrat voted “no”.
I agree.
They all need hung for treason.
plus tar and feathering
Tomorrow’s headline; “Clinton aide, Bryan Pagliano was found shot to death just outside his home. No suspects have been charged”.
This would not surprise me in the least!
AMEN THEY SHOULD BE HELD MORE ACCOUNTABLE BECAUSE THEY KNOW MORE.
You want the truth? The Truth is that The UNITED STATES is a foreign owned corporation and all 50 of the STATES OF … (Pick a state) are franchise corporations. The truth is beginning to come to light now. We were betrayed with the Act of 1871, and have been played ever since. When the states started accepting Federal Bribes in the 1960s they succumbed to the grip of the Municipal Government, headquartered within the District of Columbia … Washington D.C. A number of fed-up Americans have been doing research for years in an effort to find the reasons why/how are government has fallen so far off track. They’ve been comparing notes and connecting the dots and the big picture is begging to reveal itself.
One of the best sources of information I’ve found exposing this treason is on annavonreitz . com (remove the spaces). Check out articles #66 and #12 first, then have it, if you want to do your part to take our country away from the foreign bankers and their bought off politicians. There is a movement going on to restore our common law courts. The people need to step up to the plate if we want to restore our government to a government working FOR and BY the people.
I am checking out her website now. She is from AK and I lived there for 12 years. Thanks for the link!
Farmer John, this is the USofA not Russia, EVERYONE has the right to plead the 5th. Don’t like that, MOVE and have lunch with Putin.
You must answer the subpoenas first then plead the 5th
Peter I have to ask, are you connected to the Clinton Foundation?
He knows the law, so he must be, right? lol
The purpose of the 5th Amendment is to protect people from being forced to admit their guilt for a crime in which they may (or may not) have participated.
Hillary swears there was no crime. However, by the people in the hearing pleading the 5th, they admit there was a crime, but they will not testify against themselves as to their guilt in their complicity.
So, Hillary, was there a crime or not? If not, why are the witnesses saying (by their 5th Amendment pleas) there was a crime? You can’t have it both ways.
So, Peter, even you admit that a crime was committed, because the purpose of the 5th is to prevent a person being compelled to testify against himself or herself regarding the commission of a crime. If no crime was committed, there is no need to plead the 5th. But then, you already know that, don’t you?
Hey there……PETER……I’ll say whatever I damn please….You don’t like it tough shit!
Amen Brother
You said it
Not much more to say. You said what most Americans feel. Put them ALL in jail. Start with Obama, Holder, Lynch, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, and last but not least Nancy P. We have to take our government back. It’s full of nothing but liars, criminals, and thieves. Such a disgrace.
How does so many aholes gather in one group???
Don’f forget Bill Clinton the rapist and cocaine smuggler.
and don’t forget ole slick willy !
We already know that there’s enough proof to believe Clinton and her crew are crooks and worse.
What’s sad and scary for the country is, with all this “smoke” and stonewalling, we had 15, almost half of the committee members who voted AGAINST holding this worm in contempt because he was cocky and pompous enough to ignore subpoenas. This is an example of lawlessness and survival of the fittest. When the law no longer applies, then survival will depend on who has the best and more guns.
you hit it on the head I said perfect all need to be put into prison the government works for the people of this country and they cant just go around and do what they want
Time has ended for invoking the 5th. Send them off to prison instead of retiring them with a ridiculously extravagant benefits package. When they go, they’re gone and good riddance!
I contacted my Congressman and Senator to have Lois Lerner’s $100k pension cancelled because of her lack of ethics in office and her intentional disservice to conservative organizations that represent thousands, if not millions, of patriotic Americans. Crickets was the response that I got from them. Not a surprise.
Well said and stated . To bad that they hide in plain sight with the help of the Media.
I agree with farmer John.
DON,T BITCH !!!!!!!!!!!!.JUST MAKE SURE THAT TRUMP IS ELECTED AS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT SO HE CAN GO AFTER THIS CRIMINALS WITH THE RIGHT SUPREME JUDGES IN PLACE.
Maybe then when Trump is President JUST maybe the prisons will get full of crooked people in government——–LETS HOPE SO
Absolutely. The American public has the right to know the truth. When our welfare may be in jeopardy our public servants(or serpents in this case) needs to be held accountable . Pleading the 5th is nothing more than hiding the truth from the American people in which case he should go to prison for more than a year unless he is willing to cop a plea. However any sentence he might receive is better than the death sentence waiting for him if he blows the whistle on a Clinton.
Perhaps the threat from the Clinton MOB is greater than the threat of jail.
Right John.
watch this guy is about to shoot himself in the back of the head if congress has any guts they will get him in protective custody
You got that right
You are so right and this Government is so arrogant and corrupt that they forget that we pay there salaries and need to be accountable to that end, period! There needs to be a cleaning house of these criminal politicians!
Right on Farmer John! I would like to see all Dem-O-Craps brought before Congress, indicted and thrown in prison for long terms. That includes past and present LIARS and thieves (i.e. Killery, Kerry, Obongoloid, Earnest, Loretta Lynch, James Comey, PIGlosi, Feinstein, Hairy Reid the dweeb, et. al.)
Well said….Clinton & Obama. Cap their jobs to 2 terms & go back to work with no free bees. If Obama care is so great let them have it.
I do think it’s time to realize just how badly your representation has been compromised by a sell out congress run by elites and RINO’s…it is why so many of these criminals testifying can get immunity and invoke illegally the 5th, these electees we have have installed have a combined IQ of a C- and no political will because the offices we elected them to is overpaid, cushy and undefined…they are allowed to dodge the 28th amend and vote themselve illegal protection to separate themselves from We the People…the very one’s who give this government a consensus to exist….
Pagliano claims the server was not compromised. How then does a few countries have information and in fact related information on that server. He will take the year in prison and the fines because he likely be compensated by the Clintons for swallowing the sword and he also probably knows that the Department of Justice will not recommend any charges against him just like Hillary’s advisor Cheryl Mills.
Throw the bastard in prison now if he does not tell the truth notify him he has 24 hours to come clean or go to prison and he will talk like a scaled duck no more of his bullshit. Do let now.
It’s going to take the people having enough !! Right now, they haven’t been shit on hard enough !! Folks you gotta grow some balls !!
It’s going to take the people having enough !! Right now, they haven’t been shit on hard enough !! Folks you gotta grow some balls !! And I would like if you would post this !!
It’s going to take the people having enough !! Right now, they haven’t been shit on hard enough !! Folks you gotta grow some balls !! And I would like if you would post this !! Quit with this duplicate stuff .
Pagliano should be made an example of his contempt, just like Hillary should have been made an example of, unfortunately it did not happen in Hillarys case*******so far anyhow****** maybe the corrupt are waiting for the clintons to pass on so this can all be swept under the rug?????????????????????????????????????
TRUMP/PENCE 2016 the duo who will not let this go away…..to show the american people they really are for making the U.S. great again……
Pagliano is done either way, if he talks Hillary will do away with him (if you know what I mean) and if he doesn’t talk he should go to prison. Obama and Hillary are deplorable!!! They are getting away with so much, thus is all beginning to look like a dictatorship.
When a Government official lies to the American people that is treason!
Trump has all the solutions, Hillary has none! Wake up America!
Trump, the man that doesn’t need to be President!
Trump, the man that America needs to be President!
Trump – Pence the Dream team of American politics!
Hillary Clinton put our entire country and the life of every AMERICAN citizen at risk with her unauthorized illegal email server and I as an AMERICAN taxpayer, demand that she be arrested and prosecuted for her crimes against AMERICA and the AMERICAN people! There is also the question of six billion dollars that went missing from the State Department when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, something that seems has been swept under the rug!
Hillary Clinton owes the AMERICAN taxpayers six billion dollars, it disappeared under her watch and she is responsible for finding it or replacing it with interest! I honestly don’t know how this woman that failed and let four AMERICANS die in Benghazi can even show her face in public, let alone run for President or think that she has a snowballs chance in hell of getting elected! They died and she lied and lied and lied!
As one of Billy’s sexual assault victims stated recently… they have no sense of shame, embarrassment, or morality.
LERNER, COSKIN , PAGLIANO. CLINTON, COMEY, OBAMA .ALL BELONG IN PRISON WHO THE HELL DO THEY THINK THEY ARE ???? THEY THINK THAT THEY ARE BETTER THAN US ,ARREST TE PIGS AND PUT THEIR ASSES IN PRISON ,THEY ARE LESS THAN GARBAGE ,
To go to prison in defense of the indefensible is the height of stupidity. Is this case Brian Pagliano looks like an intelligent man but then as we all know, looks can be very deceiving. Hillary probably has a large dossier on the poor man so either way he may have ‘blown’ his life as Monica blew hers.
Thank up keep it up we need your help.
If I am not mistaken, the Republicans called Comey on his crock of BS regarding HilLiary and admitted (after HE was put under oath) that HilLiary did everything that she is accused of, to include lying about it repeatedly to Congress and the American public. Does this site put a left-wing liberal spin on all their articles, or just those about HiLiary and Hobama?
Maybe this guy decided jail for contempt was a wiser choice than an “Arkansas Suicide” like so many others (most recently 5 people within the last 3 months) that knew too much about Clinton and/or were willing to testify against one or both Clintons.
You are dead on, hope to God the American people have had enough! If Hillary wins the country is finished.
If Pagliano actually is punished with some prison time he’ll be just another Clinton staffer or acolyte who has fallen on their sword for their criminal enterprise. How could FBI Director Comey justify his comments if this man does time while the main actor continues her run for the Presidency?
He works for a company that has ties to the Clinton’s foundation
Oh, I suspect Pagliano would happily do a year in the pokey to get Clinton beyond the election. I’m QUITE SURE he would be handsomely paid by The Clinton Foundation for his ‘Loyalty’ !!!
Better than his payment if he talks. Like in another mysterious suicide.
Yeah Right! Eric Holder was charged with contempt of Congress, what jail did he go to? He got a big pat on the back from Obama and a huge bonus $$$. Democrats are not subjected to the little people’s laws.
Eric Holder is why we have race riots-police are innocent until proven guilty !!
Follow the facts, not emotions narrative of liberals !! Jim
Obama, the U.S. first black President, promised blacks in his 2008 and 2012 campaigns that he would work to make their lives better. HE LIED! (Oh yeah ,,, he does that A LOT!!!!) In every dimension, things are WORSE for Blacks, AND FOR ALL Americans now. LEGACY? Are you kidding? Obama’s ‘Legacy’ will be that he was the WORST PRESIDENT IN U.S. HISTORY. Personally, I don’t see why we don’t offer the Syrian old, Women, and Children ASYLUM (NOT CITIZENSHIP!). Put them into one of the many now empty Military Bases that B. Clinton CLOSED, keep them quarantined and monitored VERY CLOSELY. Re: the young Syrian MEN, create a ‘no-fly’ zone in Syria and fly them back to their homeland and train them to fight FOR THEIR OWN COUNTRY. Why should Americans and other coalition forces fight and die when their OWN young, strong men won’t fight? Again, monitor them VERY CLOSELY (to identify ISIS). When THEY WIN their country back, we’ll fly those in Asylum here back to their homeland. Give them 2 years to win it back. If they fail for ANY reason, fly those in asylum here back to Syria, remove our ‘no-fly zone’ protection, and walk away. WE OWE THEM NOTHING!!!
A very interesting concept. Someone would have to do the monitoring (no fly zone) and identifying of ISIS. If successful, and all countries followed the same rule, many conflicts could be resolved in this manner.
Or guilty till proven innocent .
He’s already been immunized. All he had to do was show up. Stupid butt. But he and all the rest belong in prison anyhow.
I’m sure he has been warned to keep his mouth shut. Keep in mind, people who cross the Clinton’s seem to die before their time. Perhaps Mr. Pagliano would rather live in prison than die due to some mysterious cause, or get shot walking down the street.
The ” DO NOTHING CONGRESS ” may be starting to wake up. All they have to do is FOLLOW THE LAW.
Isn’t it odd how they’re beginning to feel like they’re going “back” to congress now that Hussein is on his way out the door? Or is he?
OH, but you’re forgetting that Loretta Lynch IS ‘The Law’! She is deep into Obama’s pockets ,,, a few examples:
(1) Her ‘accidental’ (but she arrived first and waited >30 min. inside her plane for Billy Bob’s plane to arrive) meeting on the tarmac with B. Clinton. ACCIDENTAL? HARDLY!
(2) Her refusal to investigate ‘The Clinton Foundation’ when there have been $BILLIONS donated, with only 10% being used for the REASON they were granted 501C3 TAX FREE status BY THE DEMOCRATICS. This ‘refusal to investigate’ followed the FBI’s investigation on Hillary’s E-Mail issues in which they (FBI) deduced there was ‘not sufficient evidence’. NOT SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE? She ‘bleached’ 90,000 e-mails AFTER she received the subpoena from Congress stating they wanted access to EVERYTHING on her Private Server. If these things had been done by ANY REPUBLICAN they’d be in stripes right now! This administration is BLATENTLY CORRUPT, staying in tight “Formation”, each protecting the other. And our TOP LAW OFFICIAL, Ms. Lynch is tight in the same pack! The only people in this Country that AREN’T immune to ‘The Law’ are ‘We, the People’ ,,, the NON-“Elite”! This is NO LONGER A DEMOCRACY !!!!
Where in the world would you find a true democratic government. This controversial election does seem to be pushing the public in the direction to accomplish one. Is Hillery and her cohorts fighting for their lives? Maybe that is the reason she is garnering and spending so much money on this campaign.
Gale this nation was formed as a republic not a liberal democracy
I want to know who hired the assassin that killed Seth Rich? Better look to the Clinton Foundation and the DNC for answers, along with other questionable deaths that point directly to the Clinton’s.
THE GOV’T NEEDS TO PONY UP MONEY TO FIND SETH RICH KILLER,
WHERE ARE THE CAMARA’S, USE PART OF $75,000,000 OBAMA
JUST GAVE MEXICO TO PIT UP A WALL TO PROTECT MEXICO FROM UNWANTEDS! WHERE IS CONGRESS?
Then when Pagliano faces Congress, he will again exercise that 5th Amendment, like the rests of the Clinton tech server. They know everything that Clinton violated the laws, and they are co-conspirators to her demand. Now there will be 3 or 4 of them that takes the 5th. Is there anything Congress can do to require them? Hillary Clinton is so corrupt and dishonest human being.
I will be more blunt. Waterboard them.
One does not get immunity and then be allowed to ignore a subpoena and “plead the 5th.” With immunity you HAVE to appear before Congress AND answer questions. The law states that if you refuse to appear and continue to “take the 5th”, you can be fined $100,000 and sent to prison for 1 year. I certainly hope that Congress applies the law in this case of Pagliano’s blatant disregard!
Perhaps these men who worked for the Clinton Server are afraid that if they reveal the truth, they might die without knowing who did it. Many of these have happened already.
They are all afraid of ending up in a body bag.
Dragged dead to the park.
The Clinton’s we know are bullie, they own those they threaten and those that they have had murdered, the Clinton’s along with old money rich & wealthy can do whatever they damned well please all they want to their hearts content and get away with it. Those that are like the Crooked & Corrupt Clinton’s and those born into old money make all the rules and laws up, they are exempt from the laws.
I would rather deal with the mob then the Clintons !! Jim
His refusal to testify only proves their guilt – If they were innocent of wrongdoing he would be only too happy to testify.
He looks like a good Catholic boy, he should confess to the priest ?
If he has already been granted immunity how can he assert his 5th Amendment right against self incrimination as a basis to evade the Congressional Subopena? There are only two answers: 1) The federal investigators intentionally tiptoed around the minefield of questions they posed to him in order for him to “fully cooperate” without saying anything that would implicate the queen, or 2) the grant of immunity was not full but limited to testimony given in the fed’s investigation in order to leave him with this legal escape hatch for exactly the purpose he’s now using it for… To protect the queen. He may ultimately go the route Susan McDougal took and simply do the jail time rather than meet the same fate as Vince Foster.
this country is sick and tired of paying taxes and paying and paying and washington est is giving the american people back nothing but lies and stealing from them, when will it stop if not NOW<NOW .
Anne G….This is probably the simplest question/answer of a nation in distress.
The contempt charge was voted on party lines – all the democrats voted against the contempt. Now all the democrats on the committee are complicit with ignoring the law. We already know that the Dept. of Injustice will not prosecute anyone that is in contempt of Congress. Holder wasn’t prosecuted nor was Lerner. These people are criminals but our DOJ refuses to punish them. So what good is contempt of Congress anymore.
He should be charged with contempt and immediately thrown into a prison with other hardened criminals not these fancy white color crime “health clubs” all around D.C. Then let him enjoy the companionships of the “others”. I’ll bet he would start singing before the third day is over. He deserves no special treatment. Government officials, bureaucrats and employees do not deserve to have the benefit of the 5th because their work or lack of it directly affects the owners of the government; “we the people”. There are ways of getting the truth out of anybody.
Not very bright I see, probably due to experiencing the companionship personally.
Peter I have to ask, are you connected to the Clinton Foundation?
If not, Peter is a flaming liberal lunatic!
Pagliano needs to be very careful. It is a matter of historical record, that anyone who might testify against the Clinton’s dies mysteriously.
Heart attacks, car wrecks, murdered by muggers, and my favorite (which has happened more than once) multiple gun shot wounds to (THE BACK OF THE HEAD) ruled a suicide.
I hear nothing coming from HC that would qualify as an action to improve the economy, revise immigration laws that would prevent terrorists from entering the United States or supporting the police that protect us from the lawless. Her approach is to bad mouth Donald Trump and hope this will win her the election. Considering all the lies she has told us, her plan to increase the number of immigrants with backgrounds that cannot be verified and her plan to increase taxes which will further harm the middle class, how in the world could anyone in good conscious vote for her? The inept way she performed as Secretary of State alone is enough to prove she is not the capable problem solving leader we need especially at this time.
I how could anybody vote for Democrats period yea at one time they were good but back in 50 they have done nothing but destroy this nation an here we sit letting them do whatever they want an people don’t care
BOB, I CANNOT BELIEVE SHE IS AHEAD, NOT POSSIBLE, LOOK HOW IN THE PRIMARIES THEY GAVE HER DELEGATES BEFORE SHE EARNED
THEM. WASERMAN GOT FIRED, SANDERS GOT HIS 3RD HOUSE, THIS ONE $600,000 AND HILLORY BECOME’S NOMINEE, AND BY THE WAY, DID YOU NOTICE AT THE DNC BILL WAS SLEEPING. GET WITH IT,
THE TRUMP TRAIN IS ON THE ROLL LANDSLIDE LETS GO!
Not to worry Joe —- after all she’s ahead in polls run by the mainstream media, ABC,CBS,NBS,CNN….give me a break they LIE about EVERYTHING…. you mean to tell me they DON’T LIE about poll results. Those results are inflated as it is….I believe TRUMP is way ahead but the TRUTH is too “Deplorable” to tell!!
Let’s keep to our values and principles go out and VOTE…SUPPORT TRUMP/PENCE….. and believe me…. the results are going to AMAZING!!! TRUMP BY A LANDSLIDE!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
Trump the lowlife draft dodger, bankruptcy loving clown doesn’t belong anywhere near the White House. Anyone that votes for that waste of a human has to be NUTS! Vets, read his book where he states “I was out chasing women while other FOOLS enlisted or were drafted during the Vietnam era.” what a POS, just like his buddy Ted Nugent.
Peter I have to ask, are you connected to the Clinton Foundation?
How many years did Bill Clinton serve in the military? Trump was not drafted because his lottery number was too high for his year’s draft. Mine was somewhat lower, so I’m a Vet, and I’m voting for Trump. You, on the other hand, are likely not a Vet, and not much of anything else.
Peter the troll what does TRUMP’S DRAFT STATUS HAVE TO DO WITH THE PRIDE OF BEANS IN DC ???? BILL CLINTON THE DRAFT DODGER WAS ELECTED!!! And not one word was said about it next came obuma who never served either !!! That is water over the dam and all real draft dodgers were pardoned years ago !!Yet is it really dodging the draft if someone is still in school and is given a pass ???
Nothing will happen to any democratic operative .They will find hundreds of excuses to pass time and obama will save them
if he does talk he better have some security other wise killary’s crew will take him out even if they think that he will talk he might commit suicide!!!
When I think about what these people have done and gotten away with it makes me very angry!!
We have no voice about how OUR government is run.
Hillary Rodham Clinton is a liar and a crook and should not be allowed to run for president of these United States…
Obama continues to protect Hillary to protect his Legacy of destroying our country..
Obama continues to break the law,it appears the Constitution was not written for him because he continues to ignore it.
These criminals need to be brought to Justice regardless of their position or influence!!!
Enough of threats; action (Jail time) is required.
clinton is running rings around the american gov. she is showing the world just how useless the gov is
Mabe a year in Federal Prison? He won’t talk if it comes to that. He’ll just do his year and probably get a million or more from the foundation’s money. Federal prison according to some people I know say it’s just an extremely long summer camp. You do your little job every day for a few hrs then enjoy all the recreation things to do and the good food.
If he wavers, he may become a suicide victim or have an accident. Nevertheless he should be in jail for contempt.
Congress needs to prove they are not just “grand standing” when it comes to the crooked politicians. Members of Congress also owe their allegiances to the same special interest groups and puppet masters as the Clintons, the Bush family and the head of the various government agencies. Who has Congress sent to prison for lying to them- head of the IRS got off, Loritta Lynch, crooked Hillary, head of the FBI, and the list goes on . Lets see Congress really dish out some real prison sentences.
WHERE IN THE HELL IS ” JUDGE ROY BEAN ” OF THE OLD WEST. WHEN WE NEED HIM?
” YOU DID IT!’ YOU CAUGHT! NON, YOU HANG FOR IT ” NO QUESTIONS ASK . HE WAS THE JUDGE AND THE JURY AND
THE FINAL, ANSWER ” GUILTY ” AS WITH THIS TYPE OF JUDGE THE CLINTONS WOULD HAVE BEEN LONG GONE..
AND TO DAY WE NEED A LOT OF JUDGE ROY BEAN’S. AND STOP THE BS STUFF.
WITH THIS TYPE OF JUDGE WE WOULDN’T HAVE A WASH. DC WOULD WE?
Could Clintons be vetted by the FBI before any public office ? NO !! Jim
Judge Roy Bean was where he needed to be in the past. Where the hell is Judge Russell Reitz? Congress has supplied the American public with the laws necessary to fight for themselves. Asking government to fight government is a futile adventure. They give you the laws; they do not fight your battles.
It is your time in history. HAVE AT IT!
Throw his rear end in prison along with that lying Hillary (ROTTEN) Clinton. That is where she really belongs not the white house.
All Clintons need to be in the big house ( JAIL) !!! Jim
Why was the vote not 24-0 every member of that committee should be thrown out of congress!!! Contempt of congress is not a party issue IT IS A RULE OF LAW!!!!! If will do not enforce our laws then they are worthless. The democrats should have welcomed his testimony to clear their side unless of course they have something to hide and want to obstruct justice
Too bad he’s going to reach prison before Hillary the “Hun” – maybe she can lend him one of her pantsuit to sleep with so he won’t suffer from separation anxiety in spite of Bubba’s unwanted advances.
I would assume they served his attorney, as is protocol once you have an attorney. Has P personally been seen since?
Another hype about someone going to jail, Past history shows none ever had and they will twist it that he was given immunity and won’t even get a fine (and if he does I am sure the Clintons will flip the bill) When are people going to come back to reality that NOTHING is going to happen to any of them and more then likely she is going to be the next president.
The best anyone can do is get out and vote for Trump or even Johnson or Stein but not Hillary. That is the best that can be done and if Trump does win then maybe his administration can find a way to press charges against the Obama administration and Hillary.
Next Cheryl MIlls and a few other Hillary aide’s got immunity from the FBI in exchange for their testimony but again nothing will happen and everyone already knows Clinton will not be charged with anything. It is just to disgusting but that is the way it will be
Elect TRUMP and see them go to prison!
He would be much safer in prison. Outside he just might make the Clinton body count a bit higher. No wonder he is in hiding.
Sad truth is, if Brian Pagliano did decide to talk, he would probably end up dead or missing!
Should Pagliano be worried enough to finally confess before Congress, no. All he has to do is let the slow wheels of Congress grind along until after the election. One of two things will happen. 1. If Clinton wins, all charges will be dropped and he skates free, collects his $2M for keeping quiet, and retires to Fiji where he is untouchable. 2. If Trump wins, charges will just go away if any have been levied when Obama gives him a blanket pardon and the justice department can do nothing in the future. The whole thing will be swept under the political rug and the Clintons will go along merrily collecting their ill gotten gains into the Clinton Foundation, business as usual.
He firmly believes that killary will be elected and if he does any time, when she takes over, he feels he will be pardoned and compensated very well for his “loyalty”! IMO!!
We must realize that even if Hillary is not convicted by a court of law, she is on trial in the Court of the American People. It is not the establishment that she committed crimes against. Most of them are still behind Her Crookedness. No, we the people have been handed a gift so to speak. We can choose to ignore her lies and crimes against us or we can use the power of our Vote to judge her. The jury, we the people, are out to deliberate and the verdict will be rendered November 8.
The only way to change the corruption is to vote November 8th.
Put PAGLINAO in jail this corruption from this Administration has to stop. People have had enough of the lies from obama, the DOJ,FBI and HILLARY. These people need to pay their dues of their LIES and CORRUPTION.
HILLARY & OBAMA SHOULD BOTH BE PUT IN JAIL., INCLUDING BILL. THEY ARE ALL CRIMINALS . YES GIVE THE GOVERNMENT BACK TO THE PEOPLE AND STOP ALL CORRUPTION AT ONC????????????????
Start with them, then go down the line, no more BS!
How can anyone be arrested for contempt of congress when 90% of the American have nothing but contempt for congress.
James the American people have not been ordered to appear before congress so our contempt of congress means nothing to them !!
Take her with yu as there’s not enough money to pay you for that and besides instead of ending up with a toe tag, you should ROLL BABY, every one who crosses them ends up pushing up earth worms
Has anybody checked his house? He may have committed suicide with two bullets to the back of his head. From what I have heard, the Clinton’s are footing the legal bills for these guys. Is that not a conflict of interest?
then send hildebeast ot aajil for contempt of America, not just congress! both deerve it! Contempt of congress is an admission of guilt. Trey should go on that assumption.
FINALLY some one is going to be a guest of JOHN Q. PUBLICKLCITZIEN in the ROUND BAR HOTEL for thier part in the HILLARY BABE and the Clinton MACHINE eamil mess. ///////////////////////////////
QUESTION:
If he has already been granted immunity how can he assert his 5th Amendment right against self incrimination as a basis to evade the Congressional Subopena? There are only two answers: 1) The federal investigators intentionally tiptoed around the minefield of questions they posed to him in order for him to “fully cooperate” without saying anything that would implicate the queen, or 2) The grant of immunity was not full but limited to testimony given in the Obama Administration-orchestrated Fed’s investigation in order to leave him with this legal escape hatch for exactly the purpose he’s now using it for… To protect the queen.
THE NEXT QUESTION:
If he has immunity, why didn’t he appear before the committee and assert it in person? The answer is that his BS 5th Amendment defense will whither in light of a grant of immunity. You can’t tell that to an empty chair and order it to testify because the 5th doesn’t apply. So instead he hid and had his attorney (probably bought and paid for by the Clinton Foundation as a “consulting fee”) write a letter to the committee invoking the 5th. That minion should bisbarred for violating the Cannons of Legal Ethics by knowingly asserting a legally untenable defense to a tribunal.
Brian Pagliano may ultimately go the route Susan McDougal took and simply do the jail time (in your dreams) rather than meet the same fate as Vince Foster.
he does not want to end up in a body bag.
I believe that man fears certain termination of his nasty little addiction to oxygen more than some time in prison. It’s not like Hillary cares that her blood soaked hand will get any bloodier.
Hillary and Brian should be forced to share a 6′ x 10′ cell at Atlanta until one of them passes to the next life.
Place Pagliano in prison forcing him to were a Hillary face mask.
Clinton will just pay his fines. No big deal.
The Clintons are above the law. They own the media. They are afraid to tell the truth because they know they would all end up dead or mysteriously missing. The same is true with the FBI. Pagliano will never testify. Anyone else would be in jail for treason with her emails containing Classified Material. Trump is the only candidate that can begin to fix this country.
well lets see. even though this creep failed to appear even with immunity (which may be the reason he was a no show), the Democraps on the committee think his outrageous behavior does not warrant any action. What political whores. These bastards are just as bad as the witness is. the Lying black congressman (lewis?) who claimed he was spit on by the Tea Party people, and was found to be a liar, it maybe the worst of the bunch.
I feel a little for the witness, as was already stated, if he has the goods on Clinton, he may well have a sudden end, just as so many before him have.
The murder of the DNC probable informant is just the most recent in a long line of “strange” deaths. The Dem run DC police said it was a robbery, but, strange, noting was stolen. Both political parties are crap, but the Dems are pure corrupt shit .
Peter Anthon , You either are on Hillary’s Payroll list or you as well as our main stream PAID MEDIA,Comey,Lynch,Hussein,Harry Reid, Nancy P. Bill Clinton, Huma Abedin, Head of the state dept,Head of Homeland security, etc….etc.. Are one of our country’s DOMESTIC ENEMIES. Otherwise if you truly loved our country and nation , How could you support such a Corrupt liar who has done nothing but helping Hussein The Islamic agent to weaken our stand in the world and causeso much infiltration of Islam in the Government and in the key positions in this country. Under the horrible regime of Hussein America has been ruined and banckrupt. How dare you say American patriots should vote for Hillary the Corrupt Liar ?? Do you know what a Patriot means ???
Actually if anyone loves America and our people WILL NOT vote for Hillary the Corrupt Liar. Shame on our DOMESTIC ENEMIES and SHAME on anyone who can put their own interest above our Country and vote for Hillary. Peter Anthon or whoever you are, You should be ashamed of yourself for betraying our country that has given you all the blessings you enjoy today including FREEDOM. Shame on you. We will take our country back from these filthy Traitors and clean it up from infested elements like you. God Bless America and may God destroy our enemies domestic and foreign. In case if you are so oblivious as to what is Hillary all about i mentioned some of her deeeds for you. If you can read i suggest you read these books, Muslim Mafia and Infiltration. I can only hope you come around and see the light in this tunnel just hope it is not the train !!!!
Hillary Clinton is a LIAR and a CORRUPT politician. As a Secretary of state if you look at her track record Ben Gazi, egypt,the entire unrest in middle east she has not made the right decission or recommendation. On the contraire she is responsible for the death of our soldiers in Ben Gazi, endangering our national security by not caring about the top secret e-mails, deleting over 30,000 e-mails on purpose and throughout the investigation LYING about everything. The Clinton Foundation corruption and receiving money from foreign governments and individuals and returning favors instead, and so on……
can you think of anything more than this to show just how stupid Americans have become. Hillary may well still be elected which proves much of our population is brain dead.
obama will protect him just like he did hillary
“Contempt of Congress can carry with it up to a year in prison, which is a mighty hammer. ”
Crossing a Clinton can result in experiencing mysterious death, which is a wrecking ball. I’ll take the hammer for 12 months, Alex.
Send this criminal to jail and watch all the others sing like birds. When they realize that Congress is serious and they are facing time in prison, then the investigations will proceed at a much speedier rate. Until someone is held accountable, the criminals have no fear. As per the suggestion that Congress is just playing politics, to this I say…..it is the unresponsive witnesses, State Department, DOJ, Judges, IT persons, and FBI that are delaying completion of the investigations and they in fact are the ones playing politics to delay conclusions until after the elections. If everyone involved were forthcoming from the start, this email stuff could have been over with by now!!
There’s going to be a blizzard of Pardons from Obama, maybe even more than the Clintons! 16 members of FALN, which is a Puerto Rican paramilitary organization that set off 120 bombs in the United States, mostly in New York City and Chicago. There were convictions for conspiracy to commit robbery, bomb-making, and sedition, as well as firearms and explosives violations….
President Clinton cited executive privilege for his refusal to turn over some documents to Congress related to his decision to offer clemency to members of the FALN terrorist group.
Among those who accepted clemency are:
Edwin Cortes, sentenced to 35 years in prison.
Elizam Escobar, sentenced to 60 years in prison.
Ricardo Jimenez, sentenced to 90 years in prison.
Adolfo Matos, sentenced to 70 years in prison.
Dylcia Noemi Pagan, sentenced to 55 years in prison.
Alicia Rodríguez, sentenced to 55 years in prison.
Ida Luz Rodriguez, sentenced to 75 years in prison.
Luis Rosa, sentenced to 75 years in prison.
Carmen Valentin, sentenced to 90 years in prison.
Alberto Rodriguez, sentenced to 35 years in prison.
Alejandrina Torres, sentenced to 35 years in prison.
In March 2000, Bill Clinton pardoned Edgar and Vonna Jo Gregory, owners of the carnival company United Shows International, for charges of bank fraud from a 1982 conviction. Although the couple had already been released from prison, the prior conviction prevented them from doing business in certain American states. First Lady Hillary Clinton’s youngest brother, Tony Rodham, was an acquaintance of the Gregorys, and had lobbied Clinton on their behalf. In October 2006, the group Judicial Watch filed a request with the U.S. Justice Department for an investigation, alleging that Rodham had received $107,000 from the Gregorys for the pardons in the form of loans that were never repaid, as part of a quid pro quo scheme…
A few more….
Peter MacDonald had been sentenced to 14 years at a Federal Prison in Texas for fraud, extortion, inciting riots, bribery, and corruption stemming from the Navajo purchase of the Big Boquillas Ranch in Northwestern Arizona. On the day before President Clinton left office, U.S. Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy lobbied the White House to commute the sentence of the former leader of the Navajo Nation. MacDonald’s sentence was commuted after he served 10 years.
Carlos Vignali had his sentence for cocaine trafficking commuted, after serving 6 of 15 years in federal prison.
Almon Glenn Braswell was pardoned of his 1983 mail fraud and perjury convictions,In 1998 he was under federal investigation for money laundering and tax evasion charges. Braswell and Carlos Vignali each paid approximately $200,000 to Hillary Clinton’s brother, Hugh Rodham, to represent their respective cases for clemency. Hugh Rodham returned the payments after they were disclosed to the public. Braswell would later invoke the Fifth Amendment at a Senate Committee hearing in 2001, when questioned about allegations of his having systematically defrauded senior citizens of millions of dollars.
Who can forget Linda Evans and Susan Rosenberg, members of the radical Weather Underground organization, both had sentences for weapons and explosives charges commuted: Evans served 16 years of her 40-year sentence, and Rosenberg served 16 of her 58 years.
The monster Marc Rich, (his legacy remains to this day) a fugitive who had fled the U.S. during his prosecution, was residing in Switzerland. Rich owed $48 million in taxes and was charged with 51 counts of tax fraud, was pardoned of tax evasion. He was required to pay a $1 million fine and waive any use of the pardon as a defense against any future civil charges that were filed against him in the same case. Critics complained that Denise Eisenberg Rich, his former wife, had made substantial donations to both the Clinton library and to Mrs. Clinton’s senate campaign. According to Paul Volcker’s independent investigation of Iraqi Oil-for-Food kickback schemes, Marc Rich was a middleman for several suspect Iraqi oil deals involving over 4 million barrels (640,000 m3) of oil.[23] Longtime Clinton supporters and Democratic leaders such as former President Jimmy Carter, James Carville and Terry McAuliffe, were all critical of the Clinton pardon. Carter said the pardons were “disgraceful.”[24]
Susan McDougal, who had already completed her sentence, was pardoned for her role in the Whitewater scandal. McDougal had served the maximum possible 18 months, including eight in solitary confinement, on contempt charges for refusing to testify about Clinton’s role.
Dan Rostenkowski, a former Democratic Congressman from Illinois and Chairman of House Ways and Means Committee, was pardoned for his role in the Congressional Post Office scandal. Rostenkowski had served 13 months of a 17-month sentence before being released in 1997. After his release from prison, Clinton granted him a pardon in December 2000,
Mel Reynolds, a Democratic Congressman from Illinois, was convicted of bank fraud, 12 counts of sexual assault, obstruction of justice, and solicitation of child pornography. His sentence was commuted on the bank fraud charge and he was allowed to serve the final months under the auspices of a halfway house. Reynolds had served his entire sentence on child sex abuse charges before the commutation of the later convictions.
Roger Clinton, the president’s half-brother, was pardoned for drug charges after having served the entire sentence more than a decade earlier. Roger Clinton would be charged with drunk driving and disorderly conduct in an unrelated incident within a year of the pardon. He was also briefly alleged to have been utilized in lobbying for the Braswell pardon, among others. However, no wrongdoing was uncovered.
Harvey Weinig, a former Manhattan lawyer who was sentenced in 1996 to 11 years in prison for facilitating an extortion-kidnapping scheme and helping launder at least $19 million for the Cali cocaine cartel.
Wait and see, every Official ever in this administration will receive a Pardon or Clemency… wait.. you’ll see it..
and by the Clinton last go around, we can expect that if elected, the first to gain clemency will be Hillary and Bill!
Great post Chevy. I like someone that actually has done his or her homework.
… just how long will it be before this dude commits suicide to cover up Hillary’s crimes like others who have dealt with her & Bill in the past…???
We The People have another chance to get free from the establishment, and that is all three corrupt
Institutions of our government. Or I should say a beginning, to remove the infections of ( chronic Solinskyism, with acute Islam Manifestation,follicular political correctness and EPA itis)))). Dumming down our kids etc. etc. I could go on and on.
However, I’m not optimistic, for I have seen what !, We The People have done over and over again in my life time. The 32 president to 2016. Trump may be the beginning, up to you-ALL isn’t it.
Blessings
Both He & Hillary need to be on their Way to a Federal Prison , LOCK Em UP ! He’ll have FUN being Bubba’s new Girlfriend !
We are dealing with the fct our representation is depleted, the electees in our gov ignore the 28th amend and separate themselves from We the People, they hold elected jobs that are to cushy, over paid and lack accountability…the witnesses are granted illegal protections and immunity and there is not enough will to regain the power the congress has given away because they are afraid of being chastised as being racist for bucking Halfast B’Ob the “unknown” and thwarting his imperial rules from his throne….The witnesses need to testify upon spending time in jail for disobeying the law, not be granted illegal forms of immunity and violation of the 5th amend act…….We have to reclaim out representation or we are no longer in-charge of this government…..
Peter walks talks and acts like a duck . He’s a liberal and protecterof Osamba and Killary . Billy P.
He was granted immunity. He should show up or be arrested and sent to jail. If this guy wants to spend the next year rotting away in jail for Hillary so be it. Hopefully his loyalty to Hillary will be worth the jail time.
This guy is done either way, if he talks Hillary will do away with hin(if you know what I mean), if he doesn’t talk he will and shirk go to jail. The truth is that Obama and Hillary have and are getting away with so much, this is beginning to look like a country under a dictatorship, total authority to do what they please. Vote for Trump!!!
It’s time to physically take back our Nation – Trump is winning the election – his numbers are WAY up and the different ”medias”
are softening the numbers – look up the ”’social – media”’ numbers they are off the charts and have Trump almost 10-15 points ahead of Hitlery – and besides……..If they DARE try to steal the election (OSAMA and his henchmen) WE THE PEOPLE are going to march on Washington , and physically take back our Nation – These CommunisticJihadies have destroyed enough of our country…..IT’S TIME TO TAKE BACK OUR NATION…..NOW!
I believe that the people who are involved in this, and the ones who came up with the ideas, should also go to prison because they were part of it. Somehow it always falls on the person who is carrying out his/hers orders. Not quite fair!
If it is a fine, then Clinton will give him the money he needs to pay it, but if it is prison, she won’t serve the time.
Nothing is going to happen to Brian Pagliano. If the congress pushes it hard enough to get something done Barack Obama will just issue a presidential pardon. This promise was made to ALL the Clinton “helpers” involved in the illegal email setup. The AG made this clear to Bill Clinton when they met. The whole purpose of the meeting was to assure the Clintons that they were covered by the white house.
The crooks will say that he committed suicide and not show the corpse or have a Clinton appointed autopsy done so that it says Pagliano killed himself with an overdose or something like that and Pagliano will take up residence somewhere else all set up!
What a wicked, wicked, corrupt, corrupt, evil, evil government we have!
Hell awaits each of them with her mouth opened WIDE!
Bet ten bucks he’s dead in a year.
