We learned this week that former State Department staffer Bryan Pagliano, who served as an aide to Hillary Clinton during her tenure there, would be pleading the Fifth to the House Select Committee when called to testify.

Clintons paid State Department personally to maintain Chappaqua server. By me and @CarolLeonnig http://t.co/l9EHM60YSM

The private employment of Pagliano provides a new example of the ways that Clinton — who occupied a unique role as a Cabinet secretary who was also a former and potentially future presidential candidate — hired staff to work simultaneously for her in public and private capacities.

Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s chief of staff, and Huma Abedin, a close confidant who served as deputy chief of staff, both spent time working for the State Department, the Clinton Foundation or the Clintons personally.

And THIS is the kicker.

Pagliano did not list the outside income in the required personal financial disclosures he filed each year. The State Department has said Pagliano concluded his full-time service in February 2013, which coincides with Clinton’s departure as secretary. He remains a State Department contractor doing work on “mobile and remote computing functions,” according to a State Department spokesman.

Pagliano’s attorney, Mark MacDougall, declined to comment.

You think?

And Team Hillary doesn’t seem inclined to help Pagliano out, after issuing this statement.

And people have questions.

@joshrogin @NickMerrill Also quite sweet that he had significant access to both networks. Wonder if he moved or deleted data between them

Pagliano’s lawyer better be smart enough to start trying to cut a deal for his client.
