Against Hillary Clinton making ridiculous assertions about the Trump University lawsuit, the development of her former Information Technology aide seeking a protective order to avoid deposition is, well, beyond laughable.
Brian Pagliano, Hillary Clinton’s IT specialist who set up the home-brewed email server, is now seeking an emergency protective order to keep recordings away from his deposition, and further claiming he will invoke his fifth amendment rights and not answer questions.
Here’s a pdf of the court filing:

Apparently, Mr. Pagliano doesn’t like the thought of being on the receiving end of the Vince Foster treatment.
“Mr. Pagliano will invoke his right under the Fifth Amendment and decline to testify at the deposition.” Pagliano’s lawyers Mark MacDougall and Connor Mullin write. “Given the constitutional implications, the absence of any proper purpose for video recording the deposition, and the considerable risk of abuse, the Court should preclude Judicial Watch, Inc. from creating an audiovisual recording of Mr. Pagliano’s deposition.”
According to Politico: A spokesman for Clinton’s presidential campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the development.
