Story highlights A former employee for Hillary Clinton invoked the 5th Amendment about 125 consecutive times

The Republican National Committee pounced on the news

Washington (CNN) A former employee for Hillary Clinton invoked the 5th Amendment about 125 consecutive times in a deposition with a conservative advocacy group, a spokeswoman for the group said Wednesday.

The spokeswoman for Judicial Watch said Bryan Pagliano, a Clinton IT aide, declined to answer questions when subpoenaed by the group. Pagliano was involved in setting up and maintaining Clinton's private email server and accepted an immunity deal with the FBI earlier this year in which he cooperated with their investigation into the server.

Pagliano's attorneys have said their client is "caught up in a lawsuit with an undisputed political agenda" and that he would not cooperate with Judicial Watch.
