The Clintons have paid “hundreds of thousands of dollars” to cover the legal bills for a Bill Clinton aide who sits at the center of the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
That’s according to Washington Times opinion editor Monica Crowley who reports in a new column that a knowledgeable source tells her that the Clintons are covering legal expenses for Justin Cooper, a longtime aide to the former president.
Such an arrangement would raise questions over whether the Clintons are paying Cooper’s bills in order to ensure that they have some oversight of his interactions with federal investigators. It would also raise questions about whether the Clintons are paying other aides’ legal costs.
Cooper registered clintonemail.com in his own name on Jan. 13, 2009. That email domain is the same one Hillary Clinton exclusively used to send work-related emails as secretary of state. Emails sent on that account were stored on a server that the Clintons kept at their personal residence in New York.
A source familiar with Mr. Cooper’s arrangement with the Clintons tells me that they have paid his legal fees associated with the FBI investigation, amounting to “hundreds of thousands of dollars.” They aren’t paying those costs out of a sense of decency. They’re paying them because he knows the “why” of the server, which may very well have been to make it easier for the foundation to hustle big donations.
One wonders what, if anything, Mr. Cooper is telling the FBI — and whether the whole sordid Clinton house of cards will be left standing.
“. . . it takes a village”
“…it takes serious hush money”
Clintons can buy “loyalty” with hundreds of $millions of ill gotten dollars.
Pay to Play paid for this.
Blagojevich is still in prison for 1/100th of what Hillary and Bill have done.
When you’re the “big” dog you can defecate anywhere you want to.
Speaking of which, the FBI has been pretty quiet the past couple of weeks.
Also, high-priced lawyers don’t care whether the money is stolen or legally obtained.
If the Bill and Hillary do not get their day of reckoning in a court law there must be a place in Hell for each of them. I can only hope.
@joe6pak: Did it ever occur to you that maybe – just maybe – we are actually in Hell right now, and that Bill and Hillary and Obama are part of our punishment?
Try not to dwell on that thought too much, and have a nice day…
?
Pssssst…. hey Dan –
Low rent lawyers don’t care either!
Vietvet, that would be a scary thought alright but it couldn’t be the case. I’m a happy guy, if I’m in Hell it is not that bad……yet. I’ve got to believe bill and hill have something worse coming.
He probably figures they’re going to shut him up one way or another and prefers the method that allows him to celebrate a few more birthdays.
