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.”
In separate phone conversations with Bill and Hillary, the adviser
said he warned them that Justice Department prosecutors handling
Hillary’s case expect the FBI probe to wrap up much sooner than expected
— maybe as soon as the end of this year.
