One of the Clintons’ oldest and most trusted legal advisers has urged Hillary to hire a criminal defense attorney to represent her in case she’s indicted for mishandling classified documents on her private e-mail server and for lying under oath.
The adviser, who has been a Clinton confidant for more than 30 years, laid out his concerns about Hillary’s legal exposure in a wide-ranging interview.
“This e-mail thing is spiraling out of control,” he said. “To paraphrase John Dean of Watergate fame, it’s a cancer on her candidacy.
“Frankly,” he continued, “I am used to my advice on legal matters being taken very seriously and acted upon by the Clintons. I’ve told them repeatedly that this FBI e-mail investigation could go in a very dangerous direction very quickly.
“I think Bill takes the matter seriously. But Hillary is still acting as though it’s a political smear job by right-wing zealots.”

And he's still alive?
NUMBER OF TIMES
That Hillary Clinton, providing testimony to Congress, said that she didn’t remember, didn’t know, or something similar:
250
I'm pretty sure the FBI National Security Division and the Federal Prosecutors are not concerned about how she is portrayed in the media.
I'm thinking this is even more dangerous for Hillary when her traditional allies are turning on her.
Ultimately, they were Bill's people and I believe their loyalty has faded in regards to Hillary.
And, when the FBI and Federal prosecutors put Cheryl Mills and Huma under the hot lights, with proof they committed felonies with a minimum 10 year sentence, I'm certain, certain they will give up Hillary for any and every crime they can recollect.
And, that includes the Foundation.
One of the laws she broke states that she can never hold office. It says nothing about the need to be convicted. The facts are obvious that she broke that law.
So what is David Kendal’s role?
Better Call Saul
Maybe he’s got his own problems from having custody of the classified material.
Maybe Bill threw Hillary under the bus and cut a deal to keep his millions when he was on the golf course with Obama.
One of the laws she broke states that she can never hold office.
*************
Can you explain a little more about what law, etc.
This article is very dubious. No lawyer would say such things about a client or former client. It would be a breach of confidentiality and would subject the lawyer to possibly serious penalties from the bar.
Indict the traitorous, influence peddling, female dog.
What career minded government bureau - FBI or otherwise. - wants to be the one who recommends prosecuting her heniousness? There’s a better than even chance she’ll beat the rap in today’s judicial system. He husband appointed many of the federal judges still on the bench. Political slime of the Clinton ilk don’t lose often in the court of political opinion. Then when she goes on to win the presidency, YOU get hung out to dry.
You better have all your ducks in a row and be prepared to retire without your government pension.
Over at Media Matters for America — the liberal spin operation founded by well-known Clinton backer David Brock — the machine is in high gear contending that Hillary Clinton did nothing unlawful by conducting her business as secretary of state from a personal email account, because “requirements to maintain such records did not exist during her tenure.” Which, of course, is bunk.
Here is the Federal Records Act, passed in 1950: The head of each Federal agency shall make and preserve records containing adequate and proper documentation of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, and essential transactions of the agency and designed to furnish the information necessary to protect the legal and financial rights of the Government and of persons directly affected by the agency’s activities. (44 U.S. Code § 3101)
So the question would seem to be: Are emails records? The answer is obvious — and was so long before Hillary Clinton took over at Foggy Bottom. Here is the State Department’s own treatment of the question from 1995: Another important modern improvement is the ease of communication now afforded to the Department world-wide through the use of E-mail. . . . All employees must be aware that some of the variety of the messages being exchanged on E-mail are important to the Department and must be preserved; such messages are considered Federal records under the law. (5 FAM [Foreign Affairs Manual] 443.1)
In fact, step-by-step guidance was being offered to employees two decades ago about how to preserve email records. So if Clinton failed to follow procedures, it was not for lack of available instruction on the subject. There have been modifications, particularly in recent years, about what constitutes “private email” that does not fall under the purview of these regulations, but such details are irrelevant here, because Clinton apparently did not transfer any of the communications from her private account for preservation.
To maintain that that is above-board, one also must maintain that Clinton did not send a single work-related email in four years as America’s top diplomat. Which we know is false. So, yes, Hillary Clinton broke the law.
“What is a felonous feminist to do?”
I suspect that before Bill’s term expired, he took out White House Stationary and wrote a blanket pardon for himself and Hillary, for every offense in the past and future.
A quick meeting with the FBI will let them know they cannot prosecute her and it will drop.
Keep in mind, I’d rather see her held accountable at trial.
She already has an attorney. David Kendall, who saved Bill Clinton. I don’t believe what he believes, but he’s a great attorney.
Unless it was done at the behest of the client.
Unless it was done at the behest of the client.
The FBI is looking into this and who knows where it will lead?
We cannot rule out that Hillary Clinton committed espionage against the citizens of The United States.
She made it too easy for the enemies of our country to read the secret information she was dealing with.
And no one has even started talking about her use of a private cell phone while away from her office. That is also easily compromised.
She’s a filthy traitor.
Best they could do is sign her up for a consent decree. That would be legal.

Drunk and speaking off the record to Ed Klein.
No legal entity can make Klein divulge the name.
The last thing the Clintons would want to do is file a civil suit.
