Clinton's brother near legal settlement
By TRAVIS LOLLER, Associated Press Writer 14 minutes ago
A lawyer for the brother of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said he's confident he can avoid a trial next week and settle a lawsuit that accuses Tony Rodham of failing to repay debts to a Tennessee carnival operator.
That should be a relief to Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign since the case could have revived stories about how her brothers accepted money from people pardoned by her husband, President Bill Clinton.
Rodham is accused of failing to repay $107,000 plus interest to the bankrupt estate of Edgar Allen Gregory Jr. and his wife, Vonna Jo, both of whom received a presidential pardon in 2000.
Rodham's attorney, Samuel Crocker, said he's sure a settlement will be reached before the trial begins Thursday. "May lightning strike me down if it does (go to trial)," Crocker said.
Bankruptcy trustee Michael Collins said he was glad to hear Rodham was eager to settle because negotiations have been going on for some time. "There's certainly room for a settlement," he said.
Rodham claims in court documents the money he received from the Gregorys was for consulting services, but the trustee for the Gregory estate claims it was a loan. Rodham was reached by telephone Thursday at his home in Vienna, Va., but declined to comment.

Did he get the money from Sis?
Strange, settlements from the defendant side are never negotiated in the press, why would he.... Something stinks here...
If W were smart, he would pardon this bozo ... Take that Hillary!OMG. That's a brilliant idea!
Its been stinking for a long time. The fragrance appears every time Hillary is in the room. Its the smell of corruption. It follows she and Bill everywhere they go. Only a Clintonite or a liberal cannot smell it, Probably because they have grown accustomed to it.
Wonder how much money made it into Hil’s & Bil’s coffers for the pardon? (rhetorical)
Did he get the money from Sis?
she just handled the legal advice...”do what ever you want bro, you know us clintons’ don’t do jail time, not even for rape.”
Oh Yeah! ..this is another pardon scandal Hillary knows Nodink, Nodink At All!
Roaches scurry when the lights are turned on.
*Clinton crime family ping*
Well, lets hope it goes to trial then.
“May lightning strike me down if it does (go to trial),” Crocker said.
Those are dangerous words to say when referring to a Clinton (or a Clinton relative). It just might happen!!
Ya know, it is appropriate that Rodham’s lawyer is named “Crocker.”
