Bill Clinton's socialite pal Denise Rich (search) disguised a $2,000 donation to Hillary Rodham Clinton by coercing her record promoter to make the contribution and later reimbursing him, a new $30 million legal suit charges.

The promoter, Jimmy Hester (search), who filed the federal lawsuit in Manhattan yesterday, is now at the center of the FBI's long-running criminal probe into the circumstances surrounding Clinton's last-minute presidential pardoning of Rich's ex-husband, Marc Rich (search), The Post has learned.

Well, how will this look for Hillary's presidential ambitions?

Won't affect it at all. Laws do not apply to Democrats, and the media will pretend this didnt happen anyhow.

Nothing to see here. Move along, move along. /liberal chant

Bush states the truth in the SOTU, Democrats bash him for weeks, and it's all on the front pages and lead ins for news, claiming he lied.

Clintons break the laws on a continuing basis, the media pays no attention.

As you said, laws don't apply to Democrats, so they think.

I would just love it, if they could actually prove a direct connection to Hillary. She could get a cell next to Traficant.

[InvisibleChurch]

given that the press will never ask her about these things, the only question anyone should ask about her is 'what qualifications does she have to be president?'... that she be enough to disqulify her

[FairOpinion]

'what qualifications does she have to be president?'...

==

She has 8 years of experience. Who do you think was the real president? Bill was busy with the interns.

No efect whatsoever. To get the queen bee (in Machiavellian terms, to topple the prince), one would need MUCH more than this. Look what X42 got away with, for crying out loud. Hitlery! will dodge this one without breaking a sweat. Now if GW would care to use FBI info, then that would be different. But GW is a wimp.

According to the FEC he did make the donation

Now he needs to prove she put him up to it.

[Destro]

I think conservative websites talk about Hitlery running for President more than the Pro-Democratic ones do.

[FairOpinion]

Supposedly she reimbursed him, but she was probably smart enough to do it in cash, so he can't prove it.

Denise Rich herself, donated $648,500 to the DNC.

She just must have simply cared a lot.

I notice that in 1999 when Jimmy Hester made his donation she only made $85,000 while in '98 and '00 she gave $292,000 and $271,500 respectively. Of course 1999 was not an election year. But, more importantly, I do not see a single donation by her to an individual. You would think that someone throwing that much money around would make at least one contribution to an individual.

"...Well, how will this look for Hillary's presidential ambitions?..."

Unless the democRAT party has a sudden vision of future reality, and removes the 'klintoon-lock' on the DNC, this item won't mean sh!t.

She's on her run for 2004, and anyone who gets in her way will die...........FRegards

Thanks for digging it up and posting this.

[AnimalLover]

Lots of research resulted in a great post!

I'm bookmarking this for future reference.
Thanks again.

[Just mythoughts]

Hillary will use this opportunity to promote government funding for HIV research, and the need for further campaign raising. Her chief funders the "lawyers club" will cover her lying behind and it will be called a continuation of the "VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY", who are now trying to set her up.

Which administration does the FBI now work for?

There will be no evidence that Hillary knew anything about what the former Mrs. Rich was doing and of course the Mrs. Rich is not Hillary's friend but a friend of "BILL's".

[Valin]

I'd like to say I'm shocked..I'd like to but I can't.

Even if she's going to run this time(which I doubt) this will have no effect, as it will never really see the light of day. and by 08 it will be old news.

[Wil H]

Nothing to see here. Move along, move along. /liberal chant

Besides, that HIV is going to catch up with Hester and kill him very soon, no doubt; probably in Fort Marcy Park..

[SkyPilot]

You're right about the media ignoring it. Maybe if they thought this was about Denise Richards instead of Da-Knees Rich they would bite the "sexy angle" and pay attention.

[zip]

Hitlery will be "shocked". </sarcasm off

[adam_az]

Rich's spokesman, Howard Rubenstein, declined to comment yesterday as Rich and her lawyer had not seen the legal papers. Rich is traveling overseas.

*ring ring* *ring ring* "Hi Marc, remember me? It's your ex-wife. I've been thinking about us and rekindling our relationship, and Switzerland sounds like the perfect place..."

[NonValueAdded]

Turn up the heat on Denise and who know what might pop out in the plea bargaining session? Maybe the Toon should start travelling overseas too. Do I hear the sound of slowly grinding wheels of justice?
