Thanks, I was wondering of what possible use an IT staffer could be since he’d likely know nothing of the content of emails etc.
Frankly it looked like a feint to ‘show they’re trying (cough-cough)’.

There is that possibility, but this guy was out front very early covering his butt with legal representation and pleading the 5th. You don’t plead the 5th on a public stage if you are not trying to cut a deal with the FBI.
Remember this started out as a security violation investigation, and he was taking the 5th. You don’t need the 5th for a security violation, only if its a criminal investigation. Pagliano knew from the beginning that illegalities had been committed.
