RNC Goes After Bill Clinton's Half-Brother in New Memo

By JONATHAN KARL - Sep 30, 2016, 5:43 PM ET

The Republican National Committee is taking a page out of Donald Trump's campaign playbook and is planning to dredge through Bill Clinton's past -- in this case his embattled half-brother, Roger, according to a memo obtained first by ABC News.

The line of attack centers around questions the RNC raises about the propriety of longtime Clinton aide Justin Cooper being involved in purchasing Roger Clinton's home in California through a limited liability corporation at a time the former president's half-brother was struggling with back taxes. No wrongdoing is alleged.

Despite the questions the memo raises, it appears that Cooper does not own the house -- purchased for $857,000 -- and never did.

Cooper served as a principal of Calle Mayor LLC, the limited liability company that purchased the home, according to the memo, which cited California state records.

Even when Bill was in office, hardly anyone knew who Roger was. What's next, Billy Carter?

a significant block. In normal times they will overplay until it backfires--if left to it, and their instincts always have to be overborne by those for whom winning is most important. If they go forward, it will be yet another indicator that the smarter people have basically ceded and packed up.

He really is a political mastermind isn't he?

BTW - If I hear one more Trump spokesmodel say "Now we can get back to talking about the issues" I'm going to lose my mind
