A former information technology adviser to Hillary Clinton plans to exercise his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination at a deposition next week and wants to prevent any video recording being made of the session.

Lawyers for former State Department tech specialist Bryan Pagliano said in a court filing Wednesday that there's no valid reason to make an audio or video recording of the session since Pagliano doesn't plan to answer any of the questions he's asked by the conservative group Judicial Watch, which is pursuing a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit related to Clinton's private email server. The group is scheduled to take Pagliano's deposition on Monday.

What happened? I thought he had immunity! Did Clinton get to him and let him know that testifying could be hazardous to his health?

Gee, can't imagine why he wouldn't want to cooperate with a fine, upstanding and totally-objective organization like Judicial Watch.

The 5th amendment says he can't be compelled to testify against himself. But if the court gives him a 100% guarantee that nothing he says will be used against him, then they CAN compel him to testify. He no longer has the choice to remain silent.

Now I am confused. The article said "Pagliano doesn't plan to answer any of the questions he's asked by the conservative group Judicial Watch,". He's not going to answer ANY questions although he got immunity.

It was the fbi that gave him immunity. Would that apply in this civil case?

It's a civil case?

The 5th says that nobody can be compelled to testify against themselves in any criminal case.

Does this mean they CAN compel him in a civil case?

Justice Dept. grants immunity to staffer who set up Clinton email server

The Justice Department has granted immunity to a former State Department staffer, who worked on Hillary Clinton’s private email server, as part of a criminal investigation into the possible mishandling of classified information, according to a senior law enforcement official.

The official said the FBI had secured the cooperation of Bryan Pagliano, who worked on Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign before setting up the server in her New York home in 2009.

The one he is pleading the 5th in is this one I believe-
Why a Lawsuit Could Hurt Clinton More Than the FBI Probe
