From Whitewater to the Lewinsky affair, David Kendall has been there for the Clintons. And now LawNewz.com has learned that the longtime Clinton attorney is also representing Hillary Clinton in the FBIs probe into her private email server. He will likely not be far when she is interviewed by the FBI, which reports indicate is expected to happen soon. Kendall knows a thing or two about classified information: He helped former CIA director David Patreaus avoid felony charges when Patreaus allegedly gave black books to a mistress who was writing his book.
Several reports indicate that the FBI investigation has entered its final stages. So it is no surprise that Clinton would need a lawyer by her side, and who better than the man who has been loyal to the Clinton family for more than twenty years. The choice of Kendall is not shocking as hes also been handling the State Department and Senates inquiry into her private emails for months now. There was some speculation that as the investigation reportedly intensified, she may hire another attorney to deal with the FBIs probe specifically, but Clinton is staying with a friend she knows well.
Kendall is known to be somewhat media shy and usually avoids the spotlight (he turned down an interview for this profile piece). He first got to know Bill and Hillary Clinton as their classmate at Yale Law School in the 1970s.
Kendall joined the white shoe Washington D.C. law firm Williams & Connolly in 1978. On his own websites bio, it says David Kendall has had a checkered legal career. His acquaintance with the legal process began when he was arrested several times (but convicted only once) in Mississippi during the summer of 1964 while attempting to register voters. He started off his career defending civil rights cases at the NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund. He won the famous Supreme Court case, Coker v. Georgia which declared it unconstitutional to execute someone who committed the crime of rape.

All the professionals I've heard have their hair on fire with her nonchalance.
BUT, that is only one side of it. I wonder if they'll wiggle a way to get her out of it. And if we'll learn what they did behind the scenes to do get her off.
