Bryan Pagliano, the former State Department official who was reportedly responsible for Clinton's private server, told the select committee through his attorney that he did not plan to answer questions about his involvement with the server given "the current political environment."
Pagliano is still scheduled to appear before the committee Sept. 10.
Cummings dismissed allegations that Clinton committed a crime by transmitting classified information on her private server in response to Pagliano's decision.
"Although multiple legal experts agree there is no evidence of criminal activity, it is certainly understandable that this witness' attorneys advised him to assert his Fifth Amendment rights, especially given the onslaught of wild and unsubstantiated accusations by Republican presidential candidates, members of Congress, and others based on false leaks about the investigation," the Maryland Democrat said. "Their insatiable desire to derail Secretary Clinton's presidential campaign at all costs has real consequences for any serious congressional effort."

This man is involved as well and he's trying to obstruct the process. Especially since the action taken or lack there of and 5 Americans killed including an Ambassador. Disgraceful.
Communist birds of a feather sticking together
This guy is so stupid politics was his only choice
did you expect anything less from this idiot ?
The issue isn't about derailing Clinton's presidential campaign, it's about proving, for once, that she is the criminal that so many think she is.
Someone should 'blast' Cummings as he ONLY represents 'BLACK' interest
in this Country. I've told the electorate that re-electing these rubes lead to just what you see. OweBama is the SAME way and until a President is selected from Republican ranks We'll have to abide it. Wake up people. Bob Aswell
Cummings is criminal and a sell out to his country.
Elijah Cummings... It figures. An uneducated black thug protecting Obama again.

Was it 5 or 4?
Honestly I don't blame the aide for pleading the Fifth. People who rat out the Clintons tend to turn up dead.
Out of the mouth of the biggest crook in the state of Maryland, as if anyone other than illiterate PG county voters pay any attention to what he has to say.
Cummings has carried more water for Democrat Socialists than an aqueduct! His hands are not clean.
