Because I cannot find any reason to vote for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, I thought I would start a new thread detailing reasons not to vote for Hillary. For myself, I have spent so much time criticizing Clinton in the past for her long list of scandals such as FBI Filegate, Cattle Futuresgate, her role as head of the Bimbo Eruption Team, Who Hired Craig Livingstone-gate, etc., etc., etc., I am going to focus my own efforts on her more recent scandals, especially her (to be charitable) negligent use of an unsecure email server to send and receive classified information and the cover up that followed and continues.

First up is the unbelievable story that the State Department cannot find any of the emails of Brian Pagliano, the guy that set up Hillary's server, for the four year period that Clinton was the Secretary of State. IT people working for the federal government send and receive email messages - all of them do. I would not want to be Mr. Pagliano. He is about to receive many invitations that he would prefer to turn down. Instead, my guess is that if he has not already invoked his Fifth Amendment rights against self incrimination, he soon will do so.

Emails From Hillary Clinton’s IT Director at State Department Appear to Be Missing

The State Department said today it can’t find any of Bryan Pagliano’s emails from the time he served as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s senior information technology staffer during her tenure there.

Pagliano would have been required to turn over any official communications from his work account before he left the government. State Department officials say he had an official email account, but that they can't find any of those records and continue to search for them.

“The Department has searched for Mr. Pagliano’s email pst file and has not located one that covers the time period of Secretary Clinton’s tenure,” State Department spokesman Elizabeth Trudeau said today, referencing a file format that holds email.

“To be clear, the Department does have records related to Mr. Pagliano and we are working with Congress and [Freedom of Information Act] requesters to provide relevant material. The Department has located a pst from Mr. Pagliano’s recent work at the Department as a contractor, but the files are from after Secretary Clinton left the Department," Trudeau added.
