   Hillary Clinton’s email troubles just keep getting weirder and   
   weirder -- and harder for anyone but the most die-hard Clinton   
   fans to ignore.   
      
   The latest twist is news that four years’ worth of State   
   Department emails from Clinton’s top IT staffer, Bryan Pagliano,   
   can’t be found.   
      
   “The Department has searched for Mr. Pagliano’s email pst file   
   and has not located one that covers the time period of Secretary   
   Clinton’s tenure,” said State’s Elizabeth Trudeau.   
      
   State was, however, able to find Pagliano emails for his “recent   
   work at the Department as a contractor, but the files are from   
   after Secretary Clinton left the Department.”   
      
   In other words, only those emails he sent after Clinton left   
   State can be found. How convenient.   
      
   Pagliano, for those following the story, has been granted   
   immunity for his testimony about how he set up Clinton’s private   
   email server in her home, which she used exclusively to conduct   
   State Department business. He is, in other words, a key witness   
   in what could end up being a criminal case.   
      
   The missing emails came to light as the result of a Republican   
   National Committee Freedom of Information Act request -- not,   
   it’s worth noting, from any mainstream media outlet -- which   
   asked for Pagliano’s emails along with Clinton’s Blackberry   
   Messenger communication.   
      
   “It’s hard to believe that an IT staffer who set up Hillary   
   Clinton’s reckless email server never sent or received a single   
   work-related email in the four years he worked at the State   
   Department,”  RNC spokesman Raj Shah told The Daily Beast. “Such   
   records might shed light on his role in setting up Clinton’s   
   server, and why he was granted immunity by the FBI.”   
      
   If this were some lone bureaucratic hiccup, it would be highly   
   suspicious, given the nature of the investigation. But this fits   
   into a broader pattern by Clinton and the Obama administration   
   of stonewalling investigations, to say nothing of emails central   
   to an investigation mysteriously disappearing. (Remember Lois   
   Lerner’s “lost” IRS emails, which she claimed were destroyed   
   when her hard drive suddenly crashed?)   
      
   This kind of behavior would normally light a fire under law   
   enforcement -- and the press -- since these things usually smack   
   of a cover-up.   
      
   But the mainstream press is asleep at the switch -- just check   
   out the softball questions John Dickerson lobbed at Clinton on   
   "Face the Nation." Everyone seems to expect the FBI and/or   
   Justice Department to dismiss the Clinton email scandal as much   
   ado about nothing.   
      
   And we’re supposed to wonder why people are cynical about   
   government and don’t trust the press?
