FREE REPUBLIC EXCLUSIVE: Source says that Gary Smith is on Rosen defense witness list
dfu | 5-23-05 | Doug from Upland

Posted on 05/23/2005 9:08:11 AM PDT by doug from upland

From the U.S. Attorney's Office, Central District of California, I received info from a source regarding the David Rosen trial. By now, most of you know that the Rosen trial is about his criminal involvement in the biggest campaign finance fraud case in history. Some people are pretending that Hillary Clinton had no involvement in the phony reporting to the FEC regarding her 2000 senate campaign.

IN THIS EPISODE, we learned that Gary Smith, the concert producer for the 2000 Hollywood Gala, met at Le Dome restaurant with Peter Paul, Aaron Tonken, and David Rosen for lunch. They discussed Smith's cost to put on the concert --- $850,000.

I spoke with the source and asked him to pass on to prosecutor Peter Zeidenberg that I was amazed Gary Smith was not called by the prosecution. I informed him that Smith was right there at lunch with Rosen telling him the cost of the concert.

What I was told next amazed me. Smith is actually on the list of witnesses for the defense. That is unbelievable. What can Smith say but that Rosen knew the cost of the concert alone was 850K? How can Smith help the defense?

I told the source that, unless Smith lies about it, he is going to be no friend of the defense. And, by the way, I added, tell Mr. Zeidenberg that Hillary Clinton got on the phone that night and negotiated with her friend Smith to lower the fee by 50K. If Hillary says she doesn't know what went on here, she is lying.

Perhaps this report will find its way into the Los Angeles Times or Washington Post or New York Times or Newsweek or Time Magazine. Perhaps not.

I think... not.

The leftist Press will NOT skewer the "smartest woman in the world". If Hitlery falls, it will be despite the best efforts of the MSM.

Bump! Has Mr. Smith been receiving interesting phone calls and visits lately?

"What can Smith say but that Rosen knew the cost of the concert alone was 850K?..."

DFU: I call that good question and raise you (and ALL FReepers) another: Who can document the prices headlining bands NORMALLY charge for shows? Anything less than those fees = in-kind contributions.

Bruce Springsteen, Whoopi Goldberg et al don't work cheap....

Making the amount bigger doesn't help. All they have to prove to get a conviction is that he low-balled it. Yeah, if he'd low-balled it by fifty bucks, they would probably throw that in there, but they've already got him reporting > $1 million as $350K. That's enough to put him in jail. They don't need more... the sentence wouldn't be longer.

Paid him a pretty penny or promised not to take care of him the Arkansas way like some others who have had unpleasant things to say about the Clintons.

Considering the fact that the prosecutor has declared Hitlary completely innocent of any wrongdoing in this case, and Smith is testifying for the DEFENSE....then it's obvious Smith has been paid to lie. Wonder how much he's getting paid?

Hillary is not on trial in this case. That's why they call it "the trial of David Rosen." Did you expect the prosecutor to tell the jury that somebody else did it?

They have to make David Rosen believe he's on the way to spending the next fifteen years with Bruno, the 300-pound sex offender. Only then does he sing.

I am not saying this guy will commit perjury. I am questioning how he can help the defense. The info he knows to be true skewers Rosen.

.... received info from a source regarding the David Rosen trial.....

Why are anonymous sources considered to be anathema when used by the leftist MSM but OK for Free Republic?

Not.

Sorry, Doug. Keep the faith anyway. Thanks for all you are doing.
