The fifth

Clinton aide Bryan Pagliano is taking the fifth rather than testifying before congress and I don’t blame him one bit. A few years ago Scooter Libby an aide to Vice-President Chaney was accused of revealing the identity of a covert CIA agent named Valerie Plame. The special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald recognized the national stage he was on and even though Richard Armitage came forth and admitted that it was he who outed Mrs. Plame the case went forward and during several extensive cross examinations Libby contradicted himself and was convicted of perjury and spent 30 months in jail. If Bryan testifies and anything negative about Mrs. Clinton comes out he will find himself and a most precarious position. He will have to hire expensive lawyers and will be vilified in the press and the famous Clinton machine will go after him.
