It’s been reported that Bryan Pagliano, the former State Department staffer who will plead the Fifth Amendment rather than answer questions from Congress, the FBI and State Department IGs, worked on Hillary Clinton’s private server. Now there’s an extra detail to add:
Clintons paid State Department personally to maintain Chappaqua server. By me and @CarolLeonnig http://t.co/l9EHM60YSM

We can see the ad already: “Hillary Clinton, job creator!”
Hoo boy — it's becoming clearer why Pagliano took the Fifth. @HillaryClinton https://t.co/6xWz0imAPP

Team Hillary’s spin is something else:
But, according to the campaign official, it also ensured that taxpayer dollars were not spent on a private server that was shared by Clinton, her husband and their daughter as well as aides to the former president.
Riiiiight.

WaPo reports that the Clintons paid Pagliano $5,000 for “computer services” before he joined the State Department, and continued to pay him to maintain her private server after he started working at State. If that’s the case, there might be a problem.
And that staffer was required to report any outside income to State Dept. Here's what he did. http://t.co/Prtj8Zr1j4 pic.twitter.com/4xeNCFxYt2

¯_(ツ)_/¯ – what IS "income" really ?

Depends on your definition, as we’ve come to know.
