Clintons Sued in L.A. Over Campaign Donations

Hollywood producer Peter Paul has sued former President Bill Clinton, and U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, contending the former first couple got him in trouble with federal authorities by failing to report his $2 million in-kind contributions to her Senate campaign.

Judicial Watch, which has sued the Clintons several times over alleged campaign finance violations, filed the lawsuit on Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of Paul, who is in a federal detention facility in New York after being extradited from Brazil last month to face federal fraud charges.

In December 2001, a Los Angeles judge dismissed a similar lawsuit in which Paul sought damages and the return of stocks and cash he had pledged to Hillary Clinton's campaign.

Representatives for the former president and the senator could not immediately be reached for comment.

A federal grand jury indicted Paul in 2001 on charges he manipulated the price of stock in his company, Stan Lee Media Inc., before dumping it and bilking investors out of $25 million. If he is convicted, he faces up to 15 years in prison and millions of dollars in fines.

Paul, 52, believes he owes his federal troubles at least in part to the Clintons, who pressured him to commit $2 million in cash and Stan Lee stock to produce a lavish Hollywood fund-raiser in 2000, Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said.

According to his lawsuit, Paul gained access to President Clinton by promising to contribute to his wife's Senate campaign.

At one point, the lawsuit said, he promised Bill Clinton a compensation package worth $16 million to sit on Stan Lee's board and act as a worldwide emissary for the company.

On one hand, I feel sorry for anyone who has gotten sucked into the quagmire of the Clintons. On the other hand, I don't have a whole lot of sympathy.

The Clinton's always bump up in approval ratings in the polls anytime they are portrayed as being under attack in the press, especially when the charges against them are either weak or come from some sympathetic Democrat who can be "turned" at the right moment in the election run up.

Sadly, their same old sympathy trick fools people on the Left into supporting them as well as fools people on the Right into falling for the same stunt again and again...

I'm amazed that Paul is still alive. What the heck, filing a lawsuit won't make him any deader.

Anyone who would support someone as corrupt as the Clintons deserves whatever they get.

Does ANYONE have a photo of Peter Paul that can be posted to this thread?

I lived in So Cal and knew a Peter Paul some years ago. Would like a photo of this guy to review.

"I'm amazed that Paul is still alive."

Imagine if the Att. General was still Janet Reno. . .

Thanks! Meek.

Yep, I'm sure the creator of The Hulk and Spkderman (among many others) was in for a big surprise when he found out the the real PFP was (a friend of the Clintons) . . .

As more details surrounding the Stan Lee Media nose-dive are uncovered, Paul is likely to remain at the center of controversy. Last August, as Paul organized a massive campaign fundraiser for Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Washington Post exposed Paul as a convicted felon who two decades ago served three years in prison and had his license to practice law suspended after he was convicted of cocaine possession and attempting to defraud the Cuban government of almost $9 million.

What day will Hillary dump Bill?

I'd be more impressed by this if Judicial Watch was not involved.

Initially happy to see this headline, my joy faded rapidly when the name Judicial Watch crossed my line of sight. :^(
