Clinton's IT guy dodges subpoena

Former State Department IT specialist Bryan Pagliano was the guy responsible for setting up Hillary Clinton's private server. He was subpoenaed to appear before a House committee hearing but ignored the subpoena. The other tech experts who were involved with maintaining the system asserted their Fifth Amendment right not to testify. 

Needless to say, Republican lawmakers are frustrated and angry as they attempt to probe deeper into Clinton's email setup.

The House oversight committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, (R-UT) said he will now consider a "full range of options" to address Pagliano's "failure" to comply with the subpoena. "He should be here," Chaffetz said, "it is not optional. His attendance is required here."

Hopefully, the authorities will arrest Pagliano, throw him in prison with a guy named Bubba, (not Bubba Bill Clinton) and get him to sing. He is a vital witness in the Clinton email case and previously spoke to the FBI under immunity. He told them that there were no successful security breaches of the server, but as a Clinton staffer, he could be lying.

Last year, Pagliano refused to answer questions in front of a House panel investigating the 2012 Benghazi, Libya attacks that killed 4 Americans, including Ambassador Stevens. His then lawyer said that Pagliano didn't want to give up his rights to plead 'The Fifth' to prevent self-incrimination.

Republicans questioned why he would avoid the latest hearing since he had immunity but Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) said that Pagliano's lawyer remarked that the request was an "abuse of process."

Officials from Platte River Networks, Bill Thornton and Paul Combetta, complied with the subpoenas but plead the Fifth. That company maintained Clinton's illegal server in Denver after it was removed from her home, and finally moved to a data center in New Jersey. Both men were eventually excused.

Cummings, who would fall on a grenade for Hillary, said he could understand why the men refused to testify.

Chaffetz said that there would be consequences for Pagliano's refusal to testify, but the American public has finally figured out that nothing is going to come from this and that it's all talk and posturing by an impotent Congress. 

Hillary, I predict, will skate all charges, possibly become THE FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! as she likes to scream, and Bill will help himself to the smorgasbord of women who will agree to have sex with him and can do so without tossing their lunch.

The only witness who actually testified was Bill Clinton's aide Justin Cooper. He confirmed that he had access to the Clinton server in spite of not holding a security clearance. One would think that this alone should be grounds for indicting Hillary Clinton.

 But nobody will do anything to Hillary, except perhaps her own ailing body.

Hillary's server still dirty--let's hope so

Is it possible that the FBI is going to be able to recover all those "yoga" emails and Chelsea's wedding plans from Mamma Hillary's server? Well, according to The Washington Post, Platte River Networks says that it has "no knowledge of the server being wiped." 

Maybe Hillary forgot to bring a "cloth or something."

The Denver, Colorado-based company took control of Hillary's unauthorized private server back in 2013 after it had been set up by Bryan Pagliano, a State Department staffer who was paid personally by Hillary. 

It wouldn't surprise anyone if Pagliano was paid with funds from The Clinton Foundation, but that remains to be seen. Stay tuned--it makes a difference.

Clinton claims to have deleted 31,000 personal emails but kept the government emails and claims to have provided all of them to the government. Nothing on Benghazi; nothing on the family foundation.

A good mother would have kept the wedding emails and other personal ones for posterity and other sentimental reasons, but Hillary dumped them all, she claims. Yet she kept all of the government emails, all of which she says are "unclassified."

The first lie was when she claimed to only have one device for convenience and it was later discovered that she had at least 3 devices. It gets to a point where it's impossible to believe anything Hillary Clinton says.

It seems to me that if she "never sent or received" any classified emails, she wasn't doing her job as Secretary of State--that stuff comes with the territory. Remember, her lie went from "sent or received classified emails" to "sent or received any emails marked 'Classified.' 

That's lawyer talk--she was simply trying to cover her pear-shaped butt.

A company spokesman for Platte River Networks told the Washington Post "Platte River has no knowledge of the server being wiped. All the information we have is that the server wasn't wiped."

I bet after hearing that, Hillary fired the "Wiper."

Bad judgment or simple stupidity: Hillary will not say

Platte River Networks' apartment building

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues to deny having sent or received classified information on her private Platte River Networks bathroom closet server belonging to a Denver-based IT company. 

Clinton hired the "mom and pop op" back in 2013 when she thought it best to maintain Obama-like transparency and avoid scandals. Well how'd that work out fer ya Hill?

For Hillary Clinton. the US Secretary of State, to choose Platte River Networks to store her sensitive and confidential government email, is like Caitlyn Jenner choosing Chuck E. Cheese as her wedding site.

A former employee Tera Dadiotis of Platte River Networks told The Daily Mail that "At the time I worked for them they wouldn't have been equipped to work for Hillary Clinton because I don't think they had the resources, they were based out of a loft, so [it was] not very high security, we didn't even have an alarm." She worked for the company from 2007 - 2010.

"We were like your local IT company," Dadiotis said, "nothing special or fancy, we had a really good reputation but that was on a local level."

The only "little bit o' trouble" Platte River Networks has is that it was sued for stealing dozens of phone lines, some of which were used by the White House. Coincidence or Clintonence?

The company is said to have illegally accessed the master database for all US phone numbers and seized 390 lines that totally threw the government into a fisherman's bird's nest. Some of the phone numbers that suddenly stopped working were to White House military support desks, the DoD and the Department of Energy, according to the lawsuit. I suspect there will be more to follow on this.

The State Department has had Hillary's back for months on her claim that she didn't send or receive classified information on the toilet server, clearly going against government policy and common good sense.

The State Department is now stamping several dozen of the publicly released emails as "Classified" but stresses that it isn't evidence of rule-breaking, only abject stupidity, and that's should never disqualify a liberal from running for office.

Further details included in those "Classified" stamps, including dates, letters and numbers describing the nature of the classification, tend to throw a monkey wrench into the claims and the stuff is flying off the proverbial fan as I write this.

The stamps show that some of Benghazi-Hill's emails as Secretary of State have information that would deem them "born" classified from the time they were written. So far only 30 of the few scrutinized emails from 2009 include what the State Department's "Classified" stamps identify as so-called 'foreign government information,' which, due to the government definition that says any information, written or spoken, provided in confidence to U.S. officials by their foreign counterparts, are classified at the 'get-go.' In other words, they need to be presumed confidential at the very least.

The State Department disputes these claims but are still trying to come up with why these claims don't hold water.

Anyone who still thinks Hillary Clinton should be allowed to run for president, does not have the best interests of the nation at heart.

At least the FBI isn't acting like it's baffled by this bull-jack and are continuing to conduct their investigation.

One thing learned thus far is that Hillary sent at least 17 of the 30 email threads herself that have been reviewed by Reuters. At least one of those emails was to Sidney Blumenthal, a non-government person who is not eligible to receive the email.

In another email, the principal private secretary to David Miliband, the British foreign secretary at the time, indicates in the text that he is sending information about Afghanistan from Miliband in confidence. This was sent to Huma Abedin Weiner, Hillary's senior aide and a person with close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Muslim Students Association. He writes to Huma that Miliband "very much wants the Secretary (only) to see this note."

The note had about 5 fully redacted pages of information and Huma Abedin sent it to Clinton's private bathroom closet server.

I suspect that after Miliband thanked Hillary, China and Russia quietly thanked Platte River Networks.
