In Hillary Clinton and Madison Guaranty: Conflict of Interest or Bum Rap? our resident legal advisor, Matt Hallisey, investigated accusations made by Hillary’s critics that her involvement with Susan and James McDougal’s Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan when she was at the Rose Law Firm was a violation of the legal code of ethics.

While attending Yale Law School in New Haven, CT, Hillary Rodham Clinton was introduced to the problems of children and the poor, developed a sense of activism, honed her leadership skills and even met her future husband, Bill Clinton. So it’s altogether appropriate that we should want to know more about Hillary’s time in New Haven.

The Hillary Clinton Quarterly has published a brief account of her time at Yale. To read the story, click here.

Yesterday morning Eisenberg apparently cut off a pair of court-ordered ankle bracelets that monitored his movements. An extensive man-hunt across New Hampshire failed to find Eisenberg until he went back to his apartment this morning.

According to a Union Leader report, he was re-arrested at 11:10 am.

Hostage-Taker Leeland Eisenberg

Leeland Eisenberg, the man who stormed Hillary Clinton’s campaign headquarters in Dover, New Hampshire, is on the loose again after apparently cutting off an electronic monitoring bracelet.

In a news report today, Strafford County Attorney Thomas Velardi says Eisenberg cut off his equipment just after 10 a.m., one day after being given a “last chance” at freedom by a judge who released him despite multiple probation violations.

Eisenberg had been released on bail after being re-arrested shortly before Thanksgiving for violating his parole. Eisenberg took several hostages during the November 2007 attack using fake explosives. It triggered an hours-long standoff that ended peacefully when he gave up.

On December 11 a judge ordered his release pending a hearing about allegations he violated his probation after getting out of state prison last month. He is accused of failing to charge a GPS tracker he was required to wear, making it hard for probation officials to know where he was.

Public defender Randy Hawkes, Eisenberg’s attorney, said in court that his client was arrested again simply because of who he is. He asked he be released on personal recognizance bail. “I really believe had it been anyone other than Mr. Eisenberg,  he wouldn’t have been held,” he said.

The county attorney general argued unsuccessfully that Eisenberg was “calculating” and should be held on cash bail. The judge disagreed and released Eisenberg on personal recognizance pending a hearing.

Evidently, the court’s decision not to hold him on cash bail has backfired. Eisenberg is now considered a fugitive. No one knows where he is.

Hillary and Chelsea after big win during 2008 primary.

Hillary tells Tavis Smiley that she will not likely stay on as Secretary of State for an entire Obama presidency if there is a second term.  She also says she is “absolutely not interested” in running for president again.

TAVIS SMILEY: Finally, there’s already speculation about whether or not Secretary Clinton is going to do this for the full first time, and whether or not she has any interest if asked to stay on to do it for eight years? You see how tough the job is, can you imagine yourself doing all four years and, if asked, doing it for another four years?

HILLARY CLINTON: No, I really can’t. I mean, it is just…

TAVIS SMILEY: No to what? All four or eight?

HILLARY CLINTON: The whole, the whole eight, I mean, that that would be very challenging. But I, you know, I don’t wanna make any predictions sitting here, I’m honored to serve, I serve at the pleasure of the President, but it’s a, it’s a 24/7 job, and I think at some point, I will be very happy to LAUGHS pass it on to someone else.

As for the presidency. . .

TAVIS SMILEY: And finally, just for the record, you have said before, emphatically, in fact, that you are not interested in running again for President of the United States, I’m taking your answer now to mean that that’s still the same?

HILLARY CLINTON: Absolutely not interested.
