Meeting results
Quote:
A House panel voted Thursday to hold Bryan Pagliano, a former technology aide to Hillary Clinton, in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify about the private email set-up Clinton used as secretary of state.
The move against Pagliano took place despite repeated warnings from his attorney that the showdown was fruitless since the computer specialist would assert his Fifth Amendment rights in response to any questions that would be put to him.
"Subpoenas are not optional," panel Chairman Rep. Jason Chaffetz said after Pagliano failed to show up at the second committee hearing he was formally called to in the past two weeks.

Self-incrimination is the ONLY reason to plead the 5th. You cannot plead the 5th to avoid incriminating another person.
The Fifth Amendment very specifically says, "...nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself."

He has immunity so he can't self-incriminate so he has no underlying reason to hide behind the Fifth.

Clinton still ahead in polls, Trump needs this to blow up imo. There's surely nothing else she could faff up in the space of a month and a bit.
Some Trump humour though, NFSW comedy (South Park) but pretty relevant to Trump:
