A senior communications official that just joined the Hillary Clinton campaign has an interesting criminal history:
The new head of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s “rapid response” team has a skeleton in his own closet: a 2013 arrest for drug possession.
Zac Petkanas, who was hired just days ago for the senior post on the Clinton camp’s communications team, was arrested at an Atlanta hospital at 4:55 a.m. Aug. 17, 2013, and charged with possessing methamphetamines, according to a police report.
A nurse who searched Petkanas while he was being admitted to the Grady Hospital found two “small baggies of a controlled substance [in] the right back pocket of the accused,” according to the report.
It isn’t known why Petkanas went to the hospital at the pre-dawn hour.
No further court documents are available, and it wasn’t clear how the case was resolved.
He was working for the Nevada Democratic Party at the time of the bust.
His drug history aside, conservatives should be encouraged that Clinton hired someone from the Wendy Davis campaign. Davis became a national hero for her abortion filibuster, and there was hope that her national celebrity and good looks would make her a real challenger in deep red Texas, where Democrats have been attempting to make inroads for the last several years. She failed miserably, and the Washington Post characterized it as beset by “staggering internal dysfunction.”
It’s hard to see how any of this helps Hillary.
