It should come as no surprise to these worthless lawyers that the Clintons don't pay for anything! I think that this is the price they will have to pay for defending these evil monsters!

And there is plenty of scandal to go 'round about him OR her. Journalists just aren't covering them and are probably too scared of what might happen if they dished dirt, even now.

Not only are journalists afraid to uncover more on these 2 bunko artists, but most people in govt on both sides of the aisle are also afraid. And the reason, I'm convinced, has something to do with those 900 or so FBI files? Remember how long hitlery had those in her possession? She made darn sure every last one of them was copied for her own personal use. And that is what she's doing...

... "They would prefer not to [pay] and don't think they should have to," said one former senior aide ...
Why did this family command--rather, why do they continue to command--such loyalty? Not since Ceasare Borgia has it been more unhealthy to be someone's friend. Yet the claques and cliques still fawn, still cringe.

The lawyers won't get paid and won't ask to get paid. Most likely they are just a tad afraid of being Ruff'ed up a bit.

then the IRS considers that a gift, these two crooks MUST pay gift tax on the total outstanding that would end up being *forgiven*

nope, unfortunately, that is not the case, but it's too bad that is isn't

even though a deadbeat has received something of value, namely the services rendered, services are treated differently than loans for tax purposes

if services aren't paid for, there are no income or gift consequences to the deadbeat, and no net income to be reported by whoever got stiffed (and no bad-debt deduction unless the income was already accrued and reported for tax purposes)

now, if the lawyers had loaned scumbag money for business purposes and had to take a bad-debt deduction, income would be attributable to scumbag - deduction to the creditor, income to the debtor - net income (from the i.r.s.'s standpoint) zero

the good part of this is that the only people getting screwed by him are his lawyers

Maybe we should get together and offer to buy this debt (at a large discount) from the lawyers. We could then put liens on the Clintons property and sic the debt collectors and the vast right wing conspirators on them. We could have a lot of fun and make some money too.

Any lawyers familar with this type of action and what kind of discount we might be able to get?

Serves them right for defending these two scum. Did they really expect them to be honorable?

If I were thes lawyers, I wouldn't say word. They might end up like Vince Foster, MURDERED!

WORTH REPEATING:

Serves them right for defending these two scum.

It is incredible to me that the over-taxed, over-burdened citizenry in this country do not rise up and in one voice demand the heads of these two rip-off artists, instead of lauding and applauding them, even so far as wanting that fat bozo to have a TV show ... bad enough when they were writing off his used underwear and store-bought cookies given to church functions, this ought to be the last straw for some of these Clinton-die-hards.

No way! This one guy with whom I used to work used to bitch (pre-9/11) about how much of *his* taxes were going to the military, but when I brought up that the Sinkmaster was trying to get us to cough up nearly $1,000,000/year for a fancy office in a city in which he has never lived and never had any connections (other than hosing more than a few of the aging socialites), *that* did not bother him! Didn't bother him when I pointed out that the witch has THE most expensive local office of any U.S. Senator, and that her royal suite is a block or two away from the NYC office of the senior Senator of this stte. (Schumer's office is at 757 Third Ave, and hers is at 780 Third Avenue.)

This dope truly believes that because they were POTUS & FLOTUS, they deserve to be treated like corrupt royals -- and at *our* expense.

Yep, this guy favored pampering these grifters over maintaining our national defense. It just didn't dawn on him that there were profound dangers in the world, even though the Cold War was over.

I think you've got it. The media hacks know about Arkanicide. Not only that, the Clintons probably have their FBI files too.

Right you are! But, do you wanna bet that if either one were running for office again that they would win, courtesy of the sheeple of this country?

If they don't pay the legal bills then wasn't the donated services either imputed income for the Clintons or if the other side wipes out the debt a gift to the President which would have been illegal. In fact it could be both. Like to see Clinton get a lawyer to defend him. The lawyer would have to be paid in advance.

18 million in book advances and not one chapter to show for the money. What a couple of bunko artists!!

Russ; These guys arn't so smart, it is just that the publisher either is a complete idiot, or he owed the KKKlintoons.

By the way, could you get me the publishers phone number. I would like to borrow 100K.

I will pay him back as soon as my brother straightens up.(He's a hunchback).

Incredible!

I checked twice on the source of this article. Couldn't believe it was in the NY Daily News and not the Post.
