Bryan Pagliano, the State Department IT guru who has said he will plead the fifth rather than testify about his work on Hillary Clinton’s home-brew email server, is represented by a partner at a prestigious Washington D.C. law firm with close political and financial ties to the former secretary of state. The arrangement between Pagliano and Mark MacDougall of Akin Gump raises questions over whether the former Clinton aide merely sought to hire the best lawyer he could find for himself, or whether the Democratic presidential hopeful intervened in any way. (RELATED: Hillary Paid Her State Department IT Guy On The Side To Manage Private Server) As Clinton has come under more and more scrutiny for her use of a personal email account and an off-the-books email server, she offered a pseudo-apology on Friday. “At the end of the day, I am sorry that this has been confusing to people and has raised a lot of questions,” Clinton told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell.

Supreme Court Boechler Decision Cuts Some Slack In Tax Court Deadline
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Supreme Court does not muck around with Tax Court decisions very much. So Boechler, P.C v, Commissioner of Internal Revenue has a small but passionate group of people excited. It was a unanimous opinion delivered by Amy Coney Barrett. She managed to work in a hat tip to the late Justice Antonin Scalia, whom she clerked for and who was a pal of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, whose seat Barrett occupies. The decision is about the deadline for filing an appeal of the IRS decision in a Collection Due Process Hearing. What Is A Collection Due Process Hearing? If it has been determined that you owe money to the IRS and you don't just send them a check, you will at some point hear from the collection people. It starts with annoying mail. It may end there and if ten years goes by you are olly olly oxen free. If you are not so lucky you will at some point get some mail to the effect that they are filing a lien or intend to levy you … [Read more...] about Supreme Court Boechler Decision Cuts Some Slack In Tax Court Deadline
Hillary’s Highly Paid IT Guru At State Department Had No National Security Experience
Hillary Clinton’s politically appointed State Department information technology manager had no national security experience and may have enjoyed a 55 percent pay hike after Clinton departed as secretary of state in February 2013, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation. Bryan Pagliano joined Clinton in 2009 as a top-level IT strategist and adviser. He previously was IT director of Clinton’s unsuccessful campaign for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.

He was paid $140,000 annually at the outset but that was reduced to $136,000 in 2011 and 2012, according to the Asbury Park Press, which posts federal compensation data.

TheDC Morning: Obama thinks ATMs cause unemployment
1.) Obama thinks ATMs cause unemployment — No, really, he does! That’s not a joke headline. He said it out loud in front of the whole world and everything. On yesterday’s Today Show, Obama told Ann Curry his brilliant theory about why the economy hasn’t been doing so well since he became president: “There are some structural issues with our economy where a lot of businesses have learned to become much more efficient with a lot fewer workers. You see it when you go to a bank and you use an ATM, you don’t go to a bank teller, or you go to the airport and you’re using a kiosk instead of checking in at the gate.” That’s right, the Smartest President Ever just said innovation is a job-killer. His next step, presumably, will be to demonize the Republicans for making such deep cuts to the Department of Buggy Whips. Hey, why is the President of the United States blaming machines for unemployment … on TELEVISION? Doesn’t he care about all those out-of-work town criers? 2.) DNC = Dishonest … [Read more...] about TheDC Morning: Obama thinks ATMs cause unemployment
