A subpoenaed former IT employee at the State Department who helped Hillary Clinton set up her private server said he will plead the Fifth and refuse to answer questions if called to testify before a congressional committee.
The Vox spin machine immediately kicked in:
A former Clinton aide is taking the 5th on her email. It's not as big a deal as it seems. http://t.co/ZH47mDOCsy pic.twitter.com/x3bmiGc0bZ

Not that big of a deal? They’d say the same thing if the focus of the investigation were a Republican, right?
Standard Vox headline
Hillary conducts child sacrifice
But it's not as big a deal as it seems.#HillaryForPrison https://t.co/GR7ELJvzFv

His entire argument is "this doesn't prove anything, and people did it during the McCarthy hearings too." Hilarious. https://t.co/oAVFL9LVBo

Before I clicked I knew @jonallendc wrote this article. Because that's his job at Vox. To play defense for Hillary. https://t.co/2HKtXs2WLF

Sure. The aide who set up the server has criminal exposure, but not the official who ordered him to do it. #VoxSpin https://t.co/x2h6yxtScL

@voxdotcom would you say the same if it weren't HRC? Asking for a Republican friend.
