"Headache" has struck again — just in time for the California primary.

Roger Clinton — who earned the Secret Service codename "Headache" for his antics during President Bill Clinton's administration —was held on $15,000 bail. He is due in court on Monday, a police spokeswoman told the Daily News.

Clinton, 59, was arrested in Redondo Beach around 8 p.m. after a civilian reported him for "erratic" driving, police said. After field sobriety tests, he was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence. But he refused all chemical testing in jail, police said.  ...

...  Clinton failed a field sobriety test and then refused all chemical testing, police said.

Roger Clinton is Bill Clinton’s half-brother. He was arrested in 2001 on suspicion of drunk driving in Hermosa Beach but ultimately pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of reckless driving. Clinton was pardoned for a 1985 cocaine distribution offense by President Clinton before he left office.  ...

"Headache" has struck again — just in time for the California primary.

Hillary Clinton's troubled brother-in-law, Roger Clinton, was busted in southern California Sunday night on suspicion of DUI, just two days before the state's high-stakes primary.

Roger Clinton — who earned the Secret Service codename "Headache" for his antics during President Bill Clinton's administration —was held on $15,000 bail. He is due in court on Monday, a police spokeswoman told the Daily News.

Clinton, 59, was arrested in Redondo Beach around 8 p.m. after a civilian reported him for "erratic" driving, police said. After field sobriety tests, he was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence. But he refused all chemical testing in jail, police said.

The bust came right before Hillary Clinton squares off against Bernie Sanders in the California primary vote — the biggest in the nation, with 548 delegates up for grabs. A Golden State loss would deal a major blow to her campaign, although Clinton needs less than 30 delegates to win the Democratic nomination.

This is Roger Clinton’s second DUI bust, after one in 2001. President Bill Clinton, his older half-brother, pardoned him for a 1985 drug conviction right before leaving the White House.
The younger Clinton, 59, is a former rock singer and bit part actor now living in the Los Angeles suburb Torrance.

Clinton's campaign did not return a request for comment.

The FACT Clinton pardoned his brother before leaving office is more proof of Clinton scandal, corruption and personal benefit from holding office.

It would normally follow that a GOP site would be interested in opposition research, instead of obsessed with finding dirt on their own nominee.

Finding dirt?  LOL!

Trump provides the dirt every single day.

Hardly.  On the second point:  you shouldn't have nominated a fleabag who is no better than Clinton.  You're reaping what you've sown.

TBR is not a GOP site.  It's a conservative site.

Trump is not a conservative, never has been, never will be.  So he's fair game.

t_s, you're better than this.

I have not nominated anybody. The convention has not been held. My state primary is tomorrow.

Still no opposition research interest by members here, about Clinton scandal, corruption and benefit from office.

That to ME is a really big deal in terms of this site's loss of interest, focus and proprieties.

BREAKING NEWS: Not every thread posted at the Briefing Room requires a mention of Trump, least of all one about some drunk in California who happens to be Bill Clinton's brother. Good grief.

There are several here, that are over the top, OCD. Every hour of every day, Trump is all they think about, post about.

That's rich, since you were the first person on this thread to mention "the nominee."

Sure Roger is a lush, but he's no Billy Carter.

It's Bill's half brother, Bill was the president at the time, he was the one to make the ultimate decision.  How is this in any way associated with what Hillary would do as president?  There are plenty of other legit scandals that Hillary is directly involved in to waste time on this.

Trump is trashing an American judge as a "Mexican" as we speak, and some are dredging up Roger Clinton, who I thought had died.

I'm sure Hillary's happy to have this election be about who has the best temperament for the Oval Office.

Well in the beginning of Bill's reign, he said we got two for the price of one.

Hillary is now restating this whereby Bill would look after the economy.

Fine.  What does Bill's handling of the economy have to do with a half-brother who can't stay out of trouble?  Like I said, there are plenty of other real issues with Clinton than to waste resources on this.
