Longtime Clinton Attorney Now Representing Hillary in FBI’s Criminal Probe

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 FBI’s probe into her private email server. He will likely not be far when she is interviewed by the FBI, which reports indicate 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 he’s also been handling the State Department and Senate’s 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 FBI’s probe specifically, but Clinton is staying with a friend she knows well.

Kendall is known to be somewhat media shy and usually avoids the spotlight (he turned down an interview for this profile piece). He first got to know Bill and Hillary Clinton as their classmate at Yale Law School in the 1970s.

Kendall joined the white shoe Washington D.C. law firm Williams & Connolly in 1978. On his own website’s bio, it says “David Kendall has had a checkered legal career. His acquaintance with the legal process began when he was arrested several times (but convicted only once) in Mississippi during the summer of 1964 while attempting to register voters.” He started off his career defending civil rights cases at the NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund. He won the famous Supreme Court case, Coker v. Georgia which declared it unconstitutional to execute someone who committed the crime of rape.

1. that's our goldwater girl

2. Oh dear, not this..

[dixiegrrrrl]

13. good toon....

[TheDebbieDee]

3. Seriously? You're guys are hoping for a Clinton indictment

to improve Sen Sander's chances of winning the nomination?

[Bubzer]

5. Have you not been paying attention? This is just one more thing in a long list of things.

We don't want Hillary to win because she's corrupt as hell. Bernie will do fine in spite of Hillary.

[840high]

6. If she did wrong - then yes. Treat

her like any other citizen.

[Warren Stupidity]

8. No I think it is a slowly unfolding disaster. Not hoping for it at all.

[Peachhead22]

11. Better now than in October

After she's got the nomination all sewed up and many Dems have gone out on limbs for her.

Of course I hope she's innocent of any wrongdoing and the FBI proclaim that loudly. But if an indictment is in her future, better sooner than later. That way it can be somewhat out of the headlines by the GE. We wouldn't want her potential legal problems to rub off on the whole party.

16. if there was wrongdoing, there needs to be justice

its that simple.

the rule of law should supercede political interests, which is why if she did something criminal, no one should be covering for her.

[mmonk]

18. No. However, I would like for whatever is going to happen to

happen sooner rather than later. I don't want a Republican controlled White House to go along with a gerrymandered Congress.

4. Any reason this should not be being played 24/7 by M$M?

Edited to add:

Curious... it is not on cnn.com's home page.

[Baobab]

15. You know why

nt

[Warren Stupidity]

7. There's a train wreck a-comin'

what a fucking joke. We get Clinton rammed down our throats, she gets embroiled in yet another clinton scandal of their own making, and we get Cruz or Trumpf. Its a bad script in a b movie, its worse writing than the american version of house of cards.

Splain to me again why she had to have her own private email server while SOS?

[angstlessk]

9. It was convenient

she was lazy
cared nothing about security
she was lazy

[Oilwellian]

19. Actually it was done to hide a few things

like how intertwined the State Department and the Clinton Foundation were during her reign. The scandal isn't just about Hillary and her staff's gross negligence with classified information.

Keep an eye out for Paul Thompson's timeline that will be published very soon. It's chocked full of eye-opening information. I wish I could drop a few teasers about what he's discovered.

[Land of Enchantment]

12. So she could ignore future FOIA requests... just sayin...nt

[HereSince1628]

10. But didn't he get hired long ago? Isn't he the lawyer who kept email

on a thumbdrive in his office safe, or some such????

Didn't we know this months ago?

[thesquanderer]

14. Hiring a lawyer doesn't mean she expects an indictment.

It is simply prudent to have legal counsel if you are going to be questioned about a legal matter.

[winter is coming]

17. ^^ This. It does, however, indicate that questioning has either just happened

or is imminent. No way would she want this news to get around before the NY primary, so she needs the lawyer now, not a month from now.
