Ran across this today at Cybercast News (CNSNews):

excerpt:

Also, Hillary Clinton’s 2000 Senate campaign was involved in an illegal in-kind contribution from Hollywood mogul Peter Paul. That incident resulted in a $35,000 fine by the Federal Elections Committee and the indictment and later acquittal of her finance director, David Rosen.

“There is a group of people who believe Hillary Clinton is corrupt and won’t vote for her,” Fitton said. “Then there is a group who thinks she’s a political hero and can do no wrong. A situation like this will give pause to those in the middle, which can make or break a presidential campaign.”

Make media inquiries or request an interview with Fred Lucas.

Original article on Peter Paul’s case in CNS

http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewPrint.asp?Page=/Politics/archive/200706/POL20070629a.html

excerpt:

“When it comes to the Clintons, they are generally immune to public condemnation regarding ethical lapses and violations of the law,” Rose told Cybercast News Service. “If this case continues into the general election, we’ll see how it affects swing voters and independents, but it is not going to derail her bid for the nomination. I still remember Bill Clinton’s polls, and two-thirds of voters said they didn’t trust him but voted for him irrespective of his morality or ethics.”

Even critics of Clinton don’t think the case will harm her politically.

“She’s going to hold the highest office in the country. She’s got the money, the organization and the FBI files,” James Nesfield, president of the Equal Justice Foundation of America (EJFA), said in an interview.

Nesfield, who helped the New York State Attorney General’s office target corporate corruption, is not a disinterested party, having bought the troubled Stan Lee Media firm.

He said the EJFA’s broad and longer-term aim is to inform government and corporate whistleblowers of their rights and encourage them to come forward, but its key focus for the immediate future will be educating the public about the Paul case.

If Clinton won’t face justice, the public should at least know of her misdeeds, Nesfield said.

“I’m not anti-Hillary,” he added. “I’m just anti-not following the law.”

wth???

Time to remind CNSNews about Friday unless you already have done that, in which case...ignore me. LOL.

I presume CNS knows, but I will put a new post up about that hearing and my speech later that night.
