CLINTON WHISTLEBLOWER PETER F. PAUL SUES BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON FOR FRAUD, CONSPIRACY, UNJUST ENRICHMENT
California Lawsuit Over Post-White House Business Relationship That Never Materialized
Federal Government: Were Very Much Interested in Pursuing Campaign Fundraising Violations by Hillarys Senate Campaign
(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates public corruption, announced today that it filed a lawsuit against Bill and Hillary Clinton, among others, on behalf of Peter F. Paul, the Hollywood entrepreneur who underwrote and produced the August 12, 2000 Hollywood Tribute to Bill Clinton, a gala fundraiser that yielded $1.5 million in hard money contributions to Mrs. Clintons U.S. Senate campaign. Mr. Paul spent over $2 million on the event as part of a post-White House employment package for the former President. The lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on October 14, 2003, alleges:
The President, through an intermediary, agreed to work for Mr. Pauls companies after leaving office in exchange for a compensation package worth over $15 million, including Mr. Pauls funding of the Hollywood Tribute. No post-White House business relationship ever materialized.
Mrs. Clinton, through campaign officials, repeatedly promised Mr. Paul that the monies he spent on the event would be allocated and reported to federal election authorities in a lawful and proper way, but, to date, the campaign has failed to do so.
After denying to The Washington Post that Mrs. Clinton did not and would not accept any contributions from Mr. Paul, Mrs. Clintons campaign coerced Mr. Paul into making an additional $55,000 contribution (also never reported) to a political party in New York on Mrs. Clintons behalf.
The President and Mrs. Clinton, through intermediaries, coerced Mr. Paul into remaining silent about his contributions by threatening that the post-White House business relationship with the President would not materialize if Mr. Paul contradicted the public denials issued by the campaign.
Mr. Paul has substantial, documentary evidence detailing his close relationship with the Clintons and his funding of the Hollywood tribute, including cancelled checks, hand-written thank you notes from the Clintons, and photographs. Also named in the complaint is Clinton fundraiser David Rosen, Clinton friend James Levin, and Hollywood celebrity fundraiser Aaron Tonken, who currently is under criminal investigation for his role in other Hollywood fundraisers. As a result of Mr. Pauls disclosures, federal authorities have launched an investigation into the Clintons and other matters. Mr. Paul, who is facing alleged (and related) stock and bank fraud charges, remains eager to cooperate with federal authorities.
This lawsuit aims to hold the Clintons accountable for their fraud and deceit, which netted them over $2 million and help elect Hillary to the Senate. Mr. Paul looks forward to holding the Clintons accountable, said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

It does give a lot more detail... All JW is trying to do is recoup some money for Paul it appears to me....

Mr. Paul looks forward to holding the Clintons accountable---This guy has to be the most optomistic person who ever breathed. Hope he has his life insurance policy up to date.

They missed one? I thought the Clintons killed everyone who could testify against them.

Add another clinton victim to a very long list. The thing that I find hard to believe is, that people who claim to be very smart (eg. gen. weasel clark, among many) continue to allow themselves to be used and victimized by this evil couple. It seems that the clintons have the power to seduce equal to satan himself.

You mean hillary's book deal, don't you?
To: desertcry
If anyone other than Judicial Watch filed this suit, I would be optimistic. Why didn't a high-powered California lawyer take the case if it has credible documentation and evidence? As much as I hate saying it, this has holes in it and it probably won't fly.

I hope Mr. Paul has plenty of tough body guards and an insurance policy against Arkancide.

... why didn't a high powered Calif. lawyer...... Even ambulance chasers or leeches woun't bite the hand that feeds them. As you must know, the clintons are the patron saints of the trial lawyers. Thus you are right, the chances that this blood sucking couple will ever be made accountable for their evil deeds are very small.

Did the Clintons steal the recipe?

Every Dim prosecutor and judge will make sure Paul is dispatched quickly.
He will go to jail for the max. All charges about the Clinton's will be stifled.

Even Especially if your friends with the clintons you can not trust them.

I sure hope they work out that little apostrophe problem before anything official gets filed.

Proves my point...you seriously expect the media to pay attention to Judicial Watch when it comes to an attack on the Clintons? JW will be labeled as right wing kooks.
When conservatives are trying to make a viable point regarding corruption on the part of Democrats, it's best to keep JW as far away as possible.
To: jmstein7
Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.
The clintons are rotten scumbag criminals through and through.

I imagine that the warehouse raise will raise many more questions regarding Hillary's "fundraising."
I would hate to see that famed house of hers get raided by the FBI. I really would.
