Here’s the background, from The Blaze:

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s former IT specialist Bryan Pagliano pled the Fifth Amendment more than 125 times during a 90-minute, closed-door deposition Wednesday, according to Fox News.

An unnamed source with the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch told Fox News that, during the deposition, Pagliano read a statement off an index card each time he was asked a question, invoking his right not to incriminate himself.

“It was a sad day for government transparency,” the Judicial Watch official said.

The deposition was part of Judicial Watch’s lawsuit seeking the release of Clinton’s emails.

Yeah, maybe in your zeal to destroy the Second Amendment you should think twice about destroying the Fifth, Democrats. With Hillary on the scene, a LOT of you are going to need it. Maybe even your nominee.
