2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Hillary Hires Criminal Attorney David Kendall... [View all]
As I've been saying, the FBI doesn't do "security reviews."
From Whitewater to the Lewinsky affair, David Kendall has been there for the Clintons. And now LawNewz.com has learned that the longtime Clinton attorney is also representing Hillary Clinton in the FBIs probe into her private email server. He will likely not be far when she is interviewed by the FBI, which is expected to happen soon. Kendall knows a thing or two about classified information: He helped former CIA director David Patreaus avoid felony charges when Patreaus allegedly gave black books to a mistress who was writing his book.
Several reports indicate that the FBI investigation has entered its final stages. So it is no surprise that Clinton would need a lawyer by her side, and who better than the man who has been loyal to the Clinton family for more than twenty years. The choice of Kendall is not shocking as hes also been handling the State Department and Senates inquiry into her private emails for months now. There was some speculation that as the investigation reportedly intensified, she may hire another attorney to deal with the FBIs probe specifically, but Clinton is staying with a friend she knows well.

And, yes, Kendall is a criminal attorney - not a civil one. He handled a number of high-profile death penalty cases before becoming Clinton's go-to man.
