"Never, no how, no way, no," Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) said when asked to vote on the resolution.
It was a straight party line vote. The Nays were all the Democrats present. Notably, Elijah Cummings, Gerry Connolly, and Carolyn Maloney. Their excuse was that Pagliano's lawyers had already sent a letter to the committee explaining that he intended to plead the fifth on every question, so bringing him before the committee was a pointless endeavor. They (falsely) charged the Republicans with undermining the fifth amendment even though Chaffetz stated many times that the committee did not dispute Pagliano's fifth amendment rights -- they just do not see a subpoena as optional. Moreover, Chaffetz reiterated that invoking the fifth in such an instance is suspicious and unnecessary since Mr. Pagliano has immunity and so is supposedly in no danger of incrimination. Basically the Dems threw a fit about how it was all a waste of time and malicious harassment of Pagliano.
