The former State Department IT specialist who set up Hillary Clinton’s private server ignored a subpoena to appear Tuesday before a House committee hearing, while other tech experts who helped maintain the system asserted their Fifth Amendment right not to testify – frustrating Republican lawmakers trying to dig deeper into the former secretary of state’s email setup.

House oversight committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said he’ll now consider a “full range of options” to address IT aide Bryan Pagliano’s “failure” to attend.

Clever of the FBI to give him immunity and then not charge anyone with crimes.

I once (inadvertently) ignored a summons because I had weeds around my pool (long story). Result, I spent the night in the lockup.

So how is it that a subpoena is strictly a request for voluntary appearance when issued to liberals liberals? Are we that far gone to real definitional Tyranny?

Contempt of Congress.

Not that I don’t, but that’s a different thing.

He just might get a rather terse letter suitable for framing if he’s not careful.

“He should be here. … It is not optional,” Chaffetz said. “His attendance is required here.”

Maybe Chaffetz will write a strongly worded letter. These ass hats will ignore the whole thing, until someone puts handcuffs on them. Until then, nothing will happen. Are we living in a banana republic yet?

He was likely notified via his lawyers (paid by Clinton) that the DOJ will not take action if he ignores it.

And, it's not like Congress has an enforcement brigade of their own.

Congress as a coequal branch of government has the authority to have him arrested and jailed for failing to appear. They can hold him as long as Congress is in session. Will they? NO! Should they? Not this close to the election.
