Found: At Least One Pagliano Email Sent Directly to Clinton

The State Department announced Monday that the agency found no emails to or from Bryan Pagliano, Hillary Clinton’s IT specialist, while Clinton was secretary of state.

However, an email already released by the State Department does show an email from Pagliano to Clinton at Clinton’s clintonemail.com address, the email that Pagliano himself set up:


In the email, Pagliano wishes Clinton a “Happy Birthday” and “many more!” Rather than responding to Pagliano, however, Clinton forwarded the email to then-Special Assistant to the Secretary of State, Robert Russo, with a curt “Pls. respond.”

It is unclear why Secretary Clinton did not respond directly to the birthday greeting.
