"I remember Mr. Paul attending the event..." How insulting was that? Actually, she spent hours near him and publicly thanked him from the stage for all he did.

Senator:
You are about to consider Hillary Clinton's nomination as Secretary of State. I presume you take your charge seriously and, if there has been serious wrongdoing that has been covered up, you want full disclosure made to the American people. We rely on you for that.
Senator Clinton, with her agents, one of whom was a White House employee, solicited a businessman to spend over a million and a half dollars on a campaing fundraiser. That direct solicitation made the money all hard money and totally illegal. She had her spokesman deny that they took any money from him. She has now filed four false FEC reports, the first three of which hid over $700,000. She has never properly reported the man as the real donor of the money. She is obligated to return the illegal donation, but has refused three requests to do so.
I spent over three years researching the information in this case and produced a film - HILLARY! UNCENSORED.
Senator, our party has been slaughtered in two straight elections. Many of us are disenchanted because we don't feel you guys are standing up, fighting our fight, and doing the right thing. We had real hope when Sarah Palin stormed onto the scene. Damn the consequences, she fought corruption. She did the right thing. This is a massive campaign finance fraud for which Hillary Clinton has not paid a price. Now, you are about to confirm her as Secretary of State. Are you willing to stand up and do the right thing? If you don't, our party is going to die. It will deserve to die.
Over 10 million people have seen a 13-minute clip of our film on Google Videos and YouTube. They have paid attention to the issue and wonder why no one has held Hillary accountable.

I was in the courtroom in May 2005, when Hillary's campaign finance chairman faced criminal trial. The prosecutor from the US Attorney's office was Peter Zeidenberg. He told the jury that this case is about "denying the public’s right to know that Peter Paul personally gave more than $1.2 million to Hillary’s Senate campaign”.
Senator, does the public have the right to know? What are you going to do?

PS I hope you might also find this interesting. In 2000, a man doing business with the Clintons and with Denise Rich was told by Denise that her ex-husband, Marc Rich, had established a fund of $250 million to get his pardon from Bill Clinton. Here is the man's statement. (Don't worry if it says NO VIDEO; the audio starts in several seconds.) The witness has given a sworn declaration. He is willing to take a polygraph and wants to testify. What are you going to do about this? Does the public have the right to know the full story about the Rich pardon? Denise plead the 5th in 2001 hearings. Someone needs to call her and give her immunity to testify.
Start with an explanation of THE SMOKING GUN VIDEO recently obtained after a 2-year battle with a US attorney.
Through spokespersons, Senator Clinton has denied that she had any anything to do with coordinating the August 2000 event or soliciting contributions directly from donors. Doing so would make Peter Paul's substantial contributions a direct donation to her Senate campaign rather than her joint fundraising committee, violating federal statutes that limit "hard money" contributions to a candidate to $2,000 per person. Furthermore, knowingly accepting or soliciting $25,000 or more in a calendar year is a felony carrying a prison sentence of up to five years.
Hillary was involved in solicitation and coordination of the massive illegal donation. It was clearly not to benefit any joint committee -- it was to benefit her. You can hear Tonken tell her that she was the only reason people were attending. Hillary even solicited Cher, the in-kind value of which was never declared. None of the in-kind value of any of the performers was declared. On the tape, Hillary admits being extensively briefed by Craighead. She offers her help for the gala. In her declaration, she even accidentally admits the truth that the concert portion done by Gary Smith was for "my Senate campaign." She must have been tired when she admitted that. Had she carried on the previous lies of her counsel, she would have said that it was for her joint fundraising committee.
After two false FEC reports, claiming only $366,000 of the more than $1.6 mil spent by Paul, Paul filed a civil suit. On July 18, 2001, his counsel held a press conference at the National Press Club, and a messenger hand delivered a demand letter to Hillary's office. On July 11, 2001, David Kendall had accepted service for Hillary. Included were bank deposits, cancelled checks, and invoices for $1.6 mil spent by Paul. Nevertheless, Hillary allowed her treasurer, Andrew Grossman, to file a third fraudulent FEC report on July 30, claiming $401,000 for Event 39.
In Dec. 2005 was executed a Conciliation Agreement with the FEC, in which Treasurer Andrew Grossman was forced to admit hiding $721K. The campaign was fined $35,000 and ordered to file a fourth amended report, which they did in Jan. 2006. It was the fourth fraud. That report has "Spiderman" Stan Lee giving $225,000. Pursuant to his sworn video testimony, Lee gave no money. They know he gave no money.
Page 11 of the FEC General Counsel's report exonerates Hillary. Unfortunately, their entire investigation was flawed because they were not provided with sufficient evidence, particularly evidence withheld by a US attorney. When the Senate Ethics Committee took a look at this case, they relied on the flawed FEC report and took no action against Hillary. I have a letter from their chief cousel responding to the offer of Peter Paul being willing to testify before them.
Amazingly, in her declaration, she doesn't recall anything. Because of Paul's extensive home videos and testimony in the David Rosen criminal trial, "I don't recall" is not going to fly this time.
For seven years, David Kendall has been maintaining that Hillary has fully cooperated with the investigations. We have found no information that she was ever called to testify to the Justice Department or the FEC. Had she fully cooperated, the campaign would have filed properly, paid their fine, returned the illegal donation, and moved on. It would have ended there.
In his book KING OF CONS, Aaron Tonken tells of sitting in the back of a van describing in detail everything that was being spent on her. It is my belief that had she filed an honest report on July 30, 2001, Rosen would have never been indicted.
There is substantial evidence that the Clintons stole SLM's Japanese investor, and when his additional $5 million did not come to the company as promised in Nov. 2000, the cash crunch caused its collapse.
TIMELINE:
Feb. 2000 - Peter Paul is induced to support Hillary's 2000 Senate campaign with the promise of access to Bill Clinton to be able to make a proposal to come aboard Stan Lee Media as a rainmaker when he left the WH
June 9, 2000 - Paul pays for two Hillary Clinton fundraisers at Spago and the home of Cynthia Gershman ... the costs are never declared by the campaign (note: a previous fundraiser through Rendell for Al Gore, paid for by Paul, was also never declared; Rendell also never declared a 150K stock pledge) ... at the Spago lunch, Paul spent considerable time with Hillary and discussed his plan for her husband's employment. Amazingly, in her declaration of 4-7-06, Hillary acts as if she barely knew Peter Paul and claimed she couldn't remember anything they might have said. Besides the email comments, Paul has video of her going on and on about how Stan Lee was a genius for hiring Paul. She is really excited about Paul's idea of a cartoon character of Al Gore, and she wants to talk to Tony Coehlo and Terry McAuliffe about it. Her failure to remember is preposterous.
June 23, 2000 - Kelly Craighead (a White House employee, not part of any joint funraising committee), Jim Levin, David Rosen (all agents of Hillary and Bill) meet with Aaron Tonken (agent of Paul and fundraiser for Ed Rendell) to originate the idea for a major fundraising event for Hillary as part of the Aug. 14-20 DNC Convention in L.A.
July 11, 2000 - conference call between Peter Paul, Tonken, Craighead, Wolfson, Levin, and Rosen in which Paul is solicited to pay for the Hollywood Gala....he is asked to pay $525K, and it is expected that Cynthia Gershman will pay a like amount....it was acknowledged by all that the fundraiser would cost over a million dollars
July 17, 2000 - Paul films the SMOKING GUN VIDEO. This video was withheld by an assistant US ATTY while investigations were proceeding. Hillary is shown soliciting and coordinatinG the $1.6 mil in-kind, hard money donation. Kelly Craighead kept her completely briefed and she offered any help she could. David Kendall's claim that this was a joint fundraiser, and thus hard money, won't fly. Craighead was a White House employee who solicited the money on July 11. Hillary was part of closing the deal on July 17.
Aug. 12, 2000 - Hollywood Gala... it raises a million dollars for Hillary, but it cost over a million dollars...Paul spent several hours with Bill Clinton. Hillary actually said in her declaration of 4-7-06,
"I remember Mr. Paul attending the event..." How insulting was that? Actually, she spent hours near him and publicly thanked him from the stage for all he did.
Aug 13 - Paul and his wife Andrea are at the home of Barbra Streisand for Clinton Library donors...when Hillary sees Andrea, she runs over to her, brings her over to Streisand, and introduces her as "the wife of the man who funded last night's event...my new best friend"... Streisand's testimony should be interesting... Chelsea came up to the table with Paul, Andrea, Tendo Oto, Oto's interpreter Jonathon Rogers, Jim Levin, and Haim Saban. Chelsea discussed for at least half an hour how excited she and her parents were about her dad coming to work for the creator of Spider Man.
Aug. 13 - Tendo Oto and SLM make their deal for the Asian partnership - Oto give $5 million and promises another $5-7 mil in November for the American joint venture. On Aug. 12 he had paid $27K to attend the federal fundraiser gala. Giving money was illegal. Attending was illegal. Since Oto had no social security number to check out when he showed up at the event with his camera crew, the Secret Service said no way. Clinton had the Secret Service stand down, and Oto sat directly behind the president and first lady.
Aug 14 - Ed Rendell calls Peter Paul in a panic. Lloyd Grove is preparing a story for the WASHPOST about Paul's felony record for "The Cuban Coffee Caper" two decades previous when he was an international attorney in Miami. Rendell tells Paul to deny he gave any money and just play along. Shortly after the warning call, Grove called. Here is the callsheet from SLM, certified by the government as evidence. 
Aug 15 - Lloyd Grove writes the story in the WASHPOST about Paul's felony past from two decades previous involving the Cuban Coffee Caper and defrauding Fidel Castro of $8.7 million. Howard Wolfson vows that the campaign would take no money from Peter Paul.
Aug 17 - Grove writes a second story about $2,000 given by Paul at Spago ... Wolfson says they will return the money, and a check is immediately cut and sent to Paul ... Wolfson actually admits that the gala cost a million dollars but says it was in-kind and not a check. (Ummm, in-kind is hard money, Howard)
Aug 18 - behind the scenes, while disavowing him in public, the Clintons write personal notes to Paul, dated Aug 18, espressing their gratitude ... Hillary:
"We will remember it always"...
Bill's note:
Even Chelsea sent a note.
Aug 24 - Campaign Finance Chairman David Rosen is directed to send a fax to Paul asking for another $100,000 (actually, one of several faxes)
... Hillary had promised the money for the Working Families Party in New York... Paul will send no more money until he hears it face to face from Bill Clinton that they still have a deal (second document shows Gordon's acknowledgement that it was "done"). We can find no evidence that they ever declared that donation.
Paul has Steven Gordon send a stock transfer of $55K to the Working Families Party for Hillary...
Sept. 22, 2000 - Clinton steps off AF-1 in Los Angeles (we have photo) and assures Paul that the deal is still a go
If the Clintons were disavowing Paul in public, claimed he gave no money, and had no business arrangement with the President as claimed by Hillary, why would the President of the United States be meeting Paul in public as he stepped off AF-1? For what possible purpose? That's not hard to figure out, is it?
Nov 7 - Hillary is elected
Nov 13 - just six days after Hillary's election, an agreement for Venture Soft USA Inc is recorded in Illinois between Jim Levin, Clinton's business adviser, and Tendo Oto (that is a public document)... Levin was Clinton's "eyes and ears" in dealing with Paul, got proprietary business information, and stole the Japanese partner for their own deal
Dec 2000 - Stan Lee Media collapses ... the additional $5-7 million promised in November from partner Tendo Oto was not received due to the Clinton/Levin interference In Paul v Clinton, it will be proven that Oto's money would have kept the company solvent until Clinton came aboard as he had promised Peter Paul.
Early 2001 - Paul discovers that the campaign has filed two fraudulent FEC reports, only reporting 366K for the cost of Event 39 ... he spent over a million dollars on it
June 18, 2001 - Paul files initial lawsuit against the Clintons and several others for business fraud
July 3, 2001 - Treasurer Andrew Grossman is served with the lawsuit that includes documentation for $1.6 million spent by Paul
July 11 - David Kendall accepts service for Hillary along with the $1.6 million documented expenses
July 18 - press conference at National Press Club . Paul has messenger hand deliver a demand letter to Hillary's senate office ...she cannot claim that she didn't know.
July 30 - despite Paul's demand and all of the documentation, a third false FEC report is filed
... this time they declare $401K for Event 39 ... still no mention of Paul as the real donor
Jan 2005 - criminal indictment of David Rosen is unsealed
May 2005 - Rosen acquitted in criminal trial in Los Angeles...the perjury in this trial was astounding...the judge and prosecutor went out of their way to condemn Paul and claim that Hillary had nothing to do with it is also astounding... FBI affidavit during the trial documenting $1.2 mil from Paul that was not declared. The prosecution does not call Paul, Aaron Tonken, or key witness Kelly Craighead (Craighead was also never called by the FEC - she will be a key witness in Paul v Clinton).... The prosecution does not use damaging evidence against Rosen obtained while Ray Reggie (brother in law of Ted Kennedy) was wearing a wire. In Tonken's book, KING OF CONS, he tells how he sat in a van with Hillary detailing all of the money that was being spent on her.
Dec 2005 - FEC determines that the campaign deliberately underreported $721,000, fines the campaign a mere $35,000, and orders a new filing...treasurer Andrew Grossman signs conciliation agreement with the FEC, the equivalent of a nolo contendre plea.
Jan 2006 - the fourth fraudulent FEC report is filed ... among the problems are Stan Lee (whom we have on tape swearing that he gave no money) is credited with a 225K donation and Paul is still never named personally as the donor as he has demanded
April 7, 2006 - Hillary removed as defendant but judge made clear to Kendall that she would be testifying ... the declaration turned into the court by Kendall for Hillary can only be described as a work of fiction...Chelsea will be one of the witnesses called ... although her mom claims no knowledge of the business deal, if Chelsea testifies honestly, she will tell how the family stayed up late after the gala playing scrabble and discussing the excitement of daddy going to work for the creator of Spiderman ... from a private fundraiser at Zev Braun's house in early 2000, Paul has home video of Hillary laughing and discussing with him how he had arranged in 1993 for Fabio to chase her around the room and pick her up in a romance pose...the president referenced that event the next year at the Italian-American Foundation Dinner.... her declaration claiming that she met Paul in early 2000 is simply a lie
June 2006 - Senate Ethics Committee announces it will not investigate Hillary and simply relies on the flawed FEC procedure ... subsequently, they refuse Paul's offer to appear and testity
Oct. 18, 2006 - new demand letter for return of over a million dollars is delivered to Hillary's DC office with copy delivered to Sen. Voinovich, chair of the Senate Ethics Committee
Jan. 10, 2007 - Paul counsel files Appellate Brief to bring Hillary back into the case as a defendant (that delays the trial date for Bill, set for March 27, 2007...it also delays depositions)....no mainstream media source had reported that defendant Bill Clinton had a trial date in a case involving the collapse of Spiderman Stan Lee's company)
April 2007 - after a two-year battle for the return of evidence, including home videos, an assistant US atty provides Paul with a list of items they will return to him.....included was the "smoking gun video": July 17, 5-minute conference call, Hillary Clinton..... when the numerous pieces of evidence were finally sent, the shipment did not include that video.....Paul's counsel argues vehemently for that to be sent....Paul believes that a low-level functionary screwed up by putting that piece of evidence on the manifest -- Hillary never thought it would see the light of day...that video was finally sent because they could not deny its possession

ADDITIONAL INFO: THE FRAUDULENT SENATOR SERIES
Peter Paul passes a polygraph.
FReepers, I reposted this TIMELINE so this thread could be sent to Senators. Thanks for your help.
There’s work to be done on Eric Holder as well....
Doug thank you for this comprehensive post. I hope it works, but I believe she will be confirmed 90+ Senators. This could turn a few though....hopefully.
Good work.
It would be great to see the 41 GOP Senators and even Lieberman vote against Hillary. Of course, she will still get the job but the GOP would be on the record against the appointment.
Every GOP senator is going to get this link by fax and through their email webforms.
If anyone wants to help, here is how to find all of the senators - http://www.congress.org/congressorg/directory/congdir.tt
Confirmation hearings are usually just a public show. There is no way in h3<< that she will not be confirmed; unless she kills a bus load of school children on the way to the hearing. In that case, she’ll get bail and sail through the hearing.
Keep fighting the good fight, Doug.
GoPM
I appreciate all your hard work on this, but I firmly believe this government is so corrupt, there is no hope for it.
I mean that with all my heart. It is past the point of no return.
Clintons are like the modern Borgias —anything to get what they want. Hillary will be the ‘Best’ sec. of State we have had. Shes going for the gold- in her bid to upstage the O-Man.
This is going to be fun to watch.
Certainly no Dem senator is going to do anything other than praise her to high heaven. But I hope at least one Republican rakes her over the coals, as those bitches and bastards did to Condi Rice in 2004.
This is the most comprehensive document.. I am going to bookmark this for further study and look forward to the one on Holder.
What an amazing collection of crooks are going to be in charge of things as of the 20th. Makes me want to hibernate for 4 years.
BUMP
BUMP to how to contact our Senators.
Holder has a lot of baggage. His role in opposing FBI and CIA should not share info show that at best he is stupid.
Sen. Specter has information that can harm Holder and the Clintons, if he has the guts to use it.
A confidential witness is prepared to testify that Denise Rich told him in his office in 2000 that her ex-husband had established a $250 million fund to get the pardon from Bill Clinton. Denise took the 5th Amendment in 2001 hearings about the pardon.
Here is the statement. Don’t worry if it says NO VIDEO; the audio, with his voice altered, will be heard in several seconds. http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=ji0r6e&s=4
These Senators do not even read the bills they vote on. Do you think they(or their staff) will read DFU letter all the way through? Sorry, we may not like it but Madame Secretary will be confirmed by huge majority. That is just the way it goes.
Let me guess. You are going to sit on your butt and type and not even take the 30 seconds it would take to make a phone call to a senator. Am I right? It sure is easy to just complain, isn’t it? Trying to do something actually takes a little effort. That is exactly why “that is just the way it goes.”
