GETTING MORE AND MORE SERIOUS – AT 11:21 A.M. ET:  As each day goes by, Hillary Clinton's legal problems seem to mount.  A State Department inspector-general report on her use of a private server while secretary of state was damning.  Now comes this story, which make the reader wonder what is being hidden.   From the New York Post:   

WASHINGTON — Former State Department employee Bryan Pagliano, who set up Hillary Clinton’s infamous home email server, will refuse to answer questions in an ongoing civil lawsuit and doesn’t want to be videotaped invoking his Fifth Amendment rights, according to court documents obtained by The Post.

“Mr. Pagliano will invoke his right under the Fifth Amendment . . . at the deposition noticed for June, 6, 2016,” Pagliano’s legal motion says.

The deposition was scheduled as part of a suit against the State Department by Judicial Watch, a conservative group seeking access to Clinton’s emails.

COMMENT:  And the FBI probe into Clinton should soon wrap up.  The whole image is damaging, a kind of drip, drip, drip, that may explode at any moment.  It has to be hurting Clinton in the polls. 

And there are clearly growing doubts within the Democratic Party that Clinton can win in November.  Yet, the party powers hardly want a Vermont socialist to get the nomination.  Once again we're starting to hear the name Biden, the man to be brought in by the Obama forces if Clinton is forced out by her troubles.

Nothing would surprise me.  Not this year.  But I think we'd better take a hard look at the presidential nominating systems of both parties, because they're simply not producing first-class candidates.  The smoke-filled rooms did better.
