Lawyers for Clinton aide block questioning on IT specialist who set up server


Lawyers for senior Hillary Clinton aide Cheryl Mills, during a nearly five-hour deposition last week in Washington, repeatedly objected to questions about IT specialist Bryan Pagliano’s role in setting up the former secretary of state’s private server.

According to a transcript of the deposition with watchdog group Judicial Watch released on Tuesday, Mills attorney Beth Wilkinson – as well as Obama administration lawyers – objected to the line of questioning about Pagliano. 

“I’m going to instruct her not to answer. It’s a legal question,” Wilkinson responded, when asked by Judicial Watch whether Pagliano was an “agent of the Clintons” when the server was set up. 

Pagliano cut an immunity deal with the Justice Department as part of the FBI’s ongoing criminal probe of Clinton’s email practices.

This was a pattern repeated throughout the deposition by the seven lawyers for Mills — including four attorneys representing the State and Justice departments, as well as her personal representatives.

Asked direct questions about when Mills spoke with Pagliano, Mill’s lawyer also objected.

In other exchanges relating to the server’s set-up, Mills said she did not know how to answer either.
