The guy who ran IT for Hillary's illegal email server plans to plead the fifth at the hearing with Congress.  That folks is all she wrote if you don't think laws were broken.  We now know why Lois Lerner plead the fifth and if we had an honest DOJ she would already be indicted.  Now the IT guy will plead the fifth.  Question is now whether Mills, Abedin and the others will risk perjury and prison or likewise plead the fifth.  My guess is they will risk prison to protect Hillary......crazy, but that's what sycophantic co-conspirators always do.  

Will be interesting is someone breaks and brings them down ala John Dean.  I just don't think any of them have that level of integrity but you never know.  If I were one of them I would be very, very careful as people that stray from Clintonland end up at room temperature......stay out of parks.

So grab your popcorn and watch as this all unravels before your very eyes and get ready for Biden 2016.

I think you are adding more melodrama than the situation calls for - obviously as the IT manager, he either knew or should have known that she was using a private server and that classified information was likely being transmitted in an unsecure environment.  I read something yesterday where her assistant advised her that the IT people didn't know she was using a private server until she told them. 

I do think that this is going to unravel Hillary's bid for the WH, because it flies in the face of what a reasonable person would do - and I think a reasonable person would think she should have been using the official State Department system for her official emails.  Her own paranoia is going to bring her down.

You know that's the part I simply do not get.  She only used her private email server for years while SOS and publicly said many times that no classified information was on it.  It just defies reality and we knew she was lying because there is zero chance she did not send and receive classified information and potentially documents.  Andrew McCarthey has written a lot on this important distinction.

But I do think having her IT guy pleading the 5th is significant.  This guy could be turned unlike her co-conspirators.  I agree that her paranoia is a problem but her basic dishonesty and her selling influence for donations to her crime family foundation is what will bring her down along with her criminal behavior with classified information.  The key question in my mind still remains as to whether DOJ is being directed to take her down.  If they are she will be indicted because it is patently obvious she committed crimes.

I doubt DOJ is being directed to take her down; however, I am sure that they are very conscious of how this case might set a precedent for other public officials serving in an official capacity.  But she is not the first public official to be caught with classified inforamation on their unsecure computer server.  I have a basic problem with people who serve thinking they are above the law, and doing what is expedient for them, rather than following the laws.  So far, they have said that there was information that was later classified confidential on her server.  What are the chances that it stopped there?  I think I have mentioned before, it's not as much as herwords, but her attitude and body language that shows that she doesn't not take this seriously, or believe that she has done anything wrong. 

I personally think that she should drop out of the campaign.  Her public trust numbers have tanked.

Just like very dark tint on windows:

"They can see out but you can't see in"

This Administrations concept of transparency!
