    Well there's another reason (well, two) they were DQed in the eyes of Team Teabag, but no reason to get into that right now.

    With the caveat that the guy is a Democrat, but anyhoo:

    "To do a full job, the FBI and the Justice Department (DOJ) have to get the facts about Clinton’s private server. Those agencies must do an investigation into whether her State Department email traffic created a security violation or involved offenses. Email is said to have gone to that server. So information is needed from Pagliano, who set up that server.


    What does immunity represent? Does it mean that either Pagliano (or Clinton) are accused of offenses? Quite the opposite. Pagliano first invoked his Fifth Amendment rights because a House Republican-majority committee was hauling him in. I was General Counsel (Acting) for the U.S. House of Representatives, and continue to remain informed of its practices. Confronted with one of those committees, I think a witness like Pagliano would be very well advised to invoke the Fifth Amendment, because the committees act in a blatantly and aggressively partisan way and do not behave at all fairly with witnesses. He would be well advised to do what he did, and eventually give a full account, not to such a committee, but to the FBI and DOJ.

    But, doesn’t the fact that he received immunity mean that he is involved in offenses? Hardly. It is only what it is, no more. Immunity just means the Justice Department must forego bringing a case against him. If the Justice Department thought they had a case against Pagliano, they would not grant him immunity. They would prosecute that case, or else make a plea deal which could include the grant of immunity. They are granting him immunity because there is no case they are foregoing, so, this way, he can and will give them evidence."

    Immunity For Bryan Pagliano Will Help End The Hillary Clinton Email Inquiry

    Most. Predictable. Response. Ever.

    BTW, why would Clinton be "pleased" that he would be cooperating? If he had something on her, wouldn't she and her team be upset?

    WASHINGTON — A former aide to Hillary Clinton has turned over to the F.B.I. computer security logs from Mrs. Clinton’s private server, records that showed no evidence of foreign hacking, according to people close to a federal investigation into Mrs. Clinton’s emails.

    The security logs bolster Mrs. Clinton’s assertion that her use of a personal email account to conduct State Department business while she was the secretary of state did not put American secrets into the hands of hackers or foreign governments.
