A senior adviser to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has agreed to plead guilty to drunken driving after the arresting officer was ordered to Iraq, making a trial on a more serious charge impossible, police said Monday. Under the plea, Sidney Blumenthal, a journalist and former White House adviser to ex-President Bill Clinton, will lose his right to drive for 16 months.

Funny how the policeman and military reservist (or guard) just happened to be called up and sent to Iraq so he could not testify to the more serious charge. This could only start from Obama and flow downhill.

Wonder if they’ll put him in a situation where he’s almost guaranteed never to return?

The plea deal was reached after the arresting officer was activated by the military and ordered to Iraq, Segal said, adding that without the officer's testimony a trial would not have been possible.
how long would a trial like this last ? can't give testimony over skype ?

This is an 8 year old story.
Sydney “the weasel” is well beyond this and has attained immortality in the pantheon of weasels and weaseldom.

Major update though. And they are trying to bury this under today’s FBI bombshell.

Sounds a bit like King David and Uriah.
Not that HilLIARy nor Obama have ever heard of Uriah.
