A relative of an "extremely well-known" Democrat is set to testify in the upcoming trial of Hillary Clinton's former finance chairman David Rosen.
This "well-known" Democrat secretly tape recorded Rosen in a bid to get incriminating evidence about an August 2000 Hollywood fundraiser for Hillary Clinton and her Senate campaign.
Court documents obtained by the New York Sun say that while the informant's identity is being kept secret, "The CW [confidential witness] is related to an extremely prominent and well-known political figure. It can be expected that the fact that CW was working in an undercover capacity for the FBI will become the subject of intense media attention."

Court documents obtained by the New York Sun say that while the informant's identity is being kept secret, "The CW [confidential witness] is related to an extremely prominent and well-known political figure. It can be expected that the fact that CW was working in an undercover capacity for the FBI will become the subject of intense media attention."
Mr. Rosen, who pled not guilty in February to a four count indictment based on allegations that he filed false reports about the Clinton fundraiser, is scheduled to go on trial in Los Angeles on May 3.
FBI agent David Smith - who's been handling the Clinton case since its inception - said the mystery informant began cooperating in July 2002.
Papers obtained by the Sun reveal that the bombshell witness is a Democrat insider.
"The CW states that s/he is active in fundraising for the Democratic Party. CW assisted in the U.S. Senate campaign of Hillary Clinton. S/he was involved in the planning of the Clinton Gala," agent Smith wrote in January 2003.
The court documents offer no clue as to whether the confidential witness also tried to wiretap Mrs. Clinton.
Witness: FBI Sought Hillary Tap
However another key witness in the case, Hollywood fundraiser Aaron Tonken, says in his book "King of Cons" that he agreed to try to tape the former first lady's phone calls at agent Smith's request.
But by the time of Smith's request, said Tonken, team Clinton was aware he was part of the investigation into the Aug. 2000 event and avoided taking his calls.
A source familiar with the case told the Sun that the confidential witness is not related to either Bill or Hillary Clinton.
Somebody's ripe for contracting a baaaad case of Arkancide.
It would be real nice if they got Her on Tape
Standard liberal Dem / Clintonian politics. Filthy, dirty, cheating, lying, breaking the laws...what else is new? But this is good press for 2008. But certainly not a revelation. Laws, rules and ethics remain AN OBSTACLE to the left. Always have, always will.
Wonder who the clintons were sticking it to around that time......
So is this entire case.
Imagine, if you will, a world in which the MSM actually reported the news...
Send this to your local newspaper, they don't know
anything about this.
The MSM refuses to publish this.
I wouldn't take a walk in Ft Marcy Park anytime soon if it was me.
< IT'S ALL A RIGHT WINGED PLOT TO GET THE HILDABEAST. THAT IS ALL IT IS!!!!!!!!!!! >
Appears to be left wing.
After 100 million spent on investigations, We Got Her Now!
I think this is why that Hillary is talking about the border issue.. She had to be hiding something..
Do you know how many replies over the last 10 yrs have said this about the Klintoons? When felons escape something like 19 times I don't believe that another will change anything.
I agree. This will slide off of Hillary like everything else. Newsmax is getting their hopes up again!
