Why Did Cochran Wait Nearly Three Weeks to Bring Break-In Info to Police?

The personal attorney for Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) offered little explanation late Monday for why nearly three weeks elapsed between when Cochran's campaign initially learned a crazed blogger had broken into his wife's residence and when he went to the police with information about the incident, leading to the blogger's arrest Friday.

“In responding to any inquiries about this legal matter, we are conscious of preserving the confidentiality of attorney client relationship,” Cochran’s attorney Don Clark said in an emailed statement to Breitbart News in response to a story in The Hill.

He continued:

That said, I can tell you that once Senator Cochran became aware of the video that contained an image of his wife, he asked me and our firm to represent him in pursuing whatever remedies he and his family might have. As we would in any similar situation, we gathered appropriated background information on his behalf and looked at his options for both civil and criminal remedies. That resulted ultimately in our contacting the appropriate law enforcement authorities on his behalf and turning this matter over to them. They have conducted their own investigation and have taken whatever actions they deemed appropriate. We have made it clear that we will continue to cooperate with them on Senator Cochran’s behalf in any that we can.

Madison, Mississippi, police said in a press release that they received information about the blogger, Clayton Kelly, 28, on Thursday, May 15. Clark has said the information he provided police led to the arrest, and The Hill confirmed Clark provided the information to police Thursday.

Jordan Russell, a spokesman for Cochran, told The Hill the campaign learned about the break-in on April 26, when Kelly published a video that included a photo of Rose Cochran in her residence at a retirement home online.

We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

The odd factor in this story is that the wife has been in the nursing home since 2000 (if I read that right)...fourteen years. He sold his house (the DC property) at least ten years ago. Doesn’t appear to own anything in Mississippi at all (even the cabin deal appears to have been sold or maybe never even existed). If you ask me....he’s kinda bogus. He might know the governor, and tell you twenty things about the state, but he’s there representing Washington DC....NOT Mississippi.

He.s apparently living with his assistant and travel partner in D C.

Because Cochran wanted to hide his fornification with his assistant.
