Lawyer For Top Trump Aide Resigned As US Atty After Allegedly Biting Stripper

Talking Points Memo ^ | 3/29/16 | Katherine Krueger

An attorney helping Donald Trump's embattled campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, fight a battery charge previously resigned from his Justice Department post after allegations surfaced that he bit a dancer at a south Florida strip club.

Kendall Coffey, who was the U.S. attorney in Miami from 1993 to 1996, resigned just one day after being called to Washington to meet with then-U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, according to the Sun-Sentinel.

After racking up a $900 bill at the Lipstik Club in south Miami-Dade County, Coffey allegedly bit a stripper known only as "Tiffany" during a dispute. He paid the bill with a credit card before being kicked out of the club, according to the Miami Herald. The paper also reported Coffey's father later bought back the credit card slip for $1,200 in an attempt to conceal his alleged involvement.

While the woman and her husband told the Sentinel at the time the bite was hard enough to break the skin, they said they didn't want to end his political career.

The Sentinel also reported Coffey went to the strip club because he was feeling "despondent" about a recent high-profile acquittal of two men charged with smuggling $2 billion of cocaine into the country over 13 years.

Coverage of that earlier incident bubbled up after the Trump campaign said Tuesday in a statement that Coffey would represent Lewandowski in Miami.

Holy cow! What's next???

"Trump campaign manager walks on same sidewalk as convicted pedophile!"

[Dr. Sivana]

The lawyer might well be a low life. However, it really has nothing whatever to do with this lawyer’s competency to handle the case, and has no bearing whatsoever on a bit of an overwrought charge about Lewandoski’s alleged behaviour.

Kendall Coffey was a huge Clinton guy back in the day.

Just saying. Of all the lawyers out there, an interesting selection by Trump/Lewandowski....

Wow, back in 1993? I wonder if they have gone through Trump’s garbage cans yet?

[mountn man]

That’s exactly how I see it.

[Rusty0604]

You just can’t make this stuff up, lol

[mountn man]

Wow, back in 1993? I wonder if they have gone through Trump’s garbage cans yet?

I don't know about that,
but I'm sure Dan Rather is at his typewriter as we speak.

[Stentor]

Oh, come-on, who among us hasn't bit a stripper?

It's safer to bite a cow pie.

[mabelkitty]

They can pull up 20 year old allegations against a no-name US attorney, but Ted Cruz’s illicit affairs?

Nope. Not investigating.

[stockpirate]

Trump supporter who once watched a TV talk show that had a person on that once met a woman who was married to a man whose sister knew a woman that thought her husband knew a man whose cousin was in the KKK, Democrat Senator Byrd

[keving]

Was he charged?
Was he convicted - judgment?
Was he married?
Is he a constitutional attorney?
Is he running for election?
Did he falsify report with a the government? Did he not report funding in violation of government rules? Sounds it like a personal issue and he addressed the matter.

[r_barton]

Any connection to Kevin Bacon? ;-)

[Qiviut]

Hillary is married to a lawyer who got disbarred for lying under oath in a deposition.

*************************************

He BITES, too .... a control technique while he raped them.

[mad_as_he$$]

Guilty. BTW she asked me to, for no extra charge.

[ripnbang]

What’s worse, the fact the article was written? Or the fact it was posted?

[Ted Grant]

I knew a guy in law school that bit a stripper.

[HarleyLady27]

The guy doesn’t work for Trump anymore, but that doesn’t mean he’s not a good lawyer...

Just ask Cruz, he might be a lawyer, and look what he has done...

[stocksthatgoup]

A lawyer for an aide? My sister inlaws, stepfather’s brother has a son who’s kid painted a picture of people hunting! Oh the humanity!

[cport]

Meet our new Attorney General...

[yuleeyahoo]

If the bite don’t fit,

you must acquit.
