A beat cop from Boston could have assembled this prosecution in three days and have gotten a guilty conviction on the entire DNC.

If we only had Republican's running the DOJ. Opps, we do.

And what are you? Zero for zero!

At least they have given the Evil Teensy Bent One and his wicked witch wife tons of grief over the years. I admire Judicial Watch for that in itself. Anyone who can give the g*dd*m Clintons the grief they deserve is OK with me.

I don't expect they'll ever be convicted of anything...in fact, if there was an authenticated video of Hillary on the grassy knoll and Bill in the School Book depository triangulating to blow off JFK's bean, the libs would still shower love upon the Clintons and revere them as their gods.

So, absent the possibility of conviction(s), being a gnat in the Clinton's ears is alright!

Does anyone know where to find the list of campaign contributors by name and amount. I don't see a database on FEC.gov.

There won't even be an audit trail for the DNC's electric bills in 2000, let alone what they have been destroying for five years.

Maybe you missed the fact that the FBI already has the records (story in bold below). Here are excerpts from stories I have on file:

04/19/04 - The Federal Election Commission has opened a formal probe into a star-studded Aug. 12, 2000 Hollywood fundraiser for then-first lady Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign, Fox News Channel reported on Sunday. And some say the development is at least partly responsible for Sen. Clinton's claim that she's not interested in joining John Kerry's presidential ticket.

The allegations themselves are not new: Two of the event's organizers, Hollywood producer Peter Paul and charity fundraiser Aaron Tonken, have detailed a series of transactions undertaken in conjunction with Hillary's campaign that could violate FEC regulations, with Paul charging that the campaign failed to report nearly $2 million he spent producing the event.

But months before Paul was returned to the U.S. to stand trial in the stock case, Hollywood fundraiser Aaron Tonken began cooperating with federal probers. Tonken has said that he's a star witness against the Clintons in a federal grand jury probe in New York into Mr. Clinton's Marc Rich pardon - and has been cooperating with the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles who's probing his fundraising activities.

FEC Heat Hurts Hillary's VP Chances

Background:

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton surely hopes that history isn't repeating itself with the raid conducted by the FBI last month on another warehouse; this one chock full of documents from her 2000 Senatorial campaign.

"The documents were seized in a May 30 raid of a California storage facility containing documents of Peter Paul, the entrepreneur who funded Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign with over $2 million dollars in direct, in-kind contributions which were never reported by Hillary Clinton or her Senate campaign, as required by law," revealed the public interest law firm Judicial Watch in a press release late last week.

FBI Raids Hillary's Warehouse in Whitewater Deja Vu

The Bush administration has quietly done an about-face on allegations that New York Sen. Hillary Clinton broke campaign finance laws in 2000 - with the Justice Department preparing to extradite one-time Clinton fund-raiser Peter Paul to the U.S. as part of a plea deal for his testimony. The sudden action on Paul's case comes just weeks after reports surfaced that former Hollywood fund-raiser Aaron Tonken has supplied damaging testimony about Hillary Clinton's fund-raising practices.

"I'm a star witness against President and Mrs. Clinton," Tonken claimed in a recent report on his case in Vanity Fair magazine, explaining that prosecutors wanted his testimony about" "fundraising activities that I've done on behalf of the Clintons." The exact nature of Tonken's allegations against Sen. Clinton remains secret, the magazine said. But the celebrity moneyman is known to have been involved in the August 2000 fund raiser that is at the heart of Peter Paul's allegations.

The End of Hillary Clinton

Peter F. Paul, the flamboyant Hollywood entrepreneur who says Hillary Rodham Clinton has hidden almost $2 million of in-kind contributions he made to her campaign in 2000, is back from Brazil and promising to raise a ruckus about the New York senator as he fights bizarre securities and bank-fraud charges on which he's been indicted. Aaron Tonken, a political operative in Hollywood and a former protégé of Paul under indictment for a variety of alleged sharp deals with the rich and famous, also is promising to tell everything he knows about behind-the-scenes shenanigans of Clinton and many others.

Clintons' Fall Guy May Turn the Tables (Peter Paul)

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. Paul’s 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.

Nothing sticks to the Clintons. So I don't expect anything out of this. I think they go and get a new coating of teflon every two yrs.

And as long as the wimped out GOP is in charge of investigating it might as well be Reno back in power

This has been going on for years.

It is a good sign that this story is resurfacing again...it shows it is not over yet. Yes, it has been years, but they have to be careful to make sure they have a case that will convict them. Can you say "October Surprise"?

My prediction is that Hillary will be indicted if Bush wins a second term.

I'm with you. The toons have always been above the law. I find no reason to believe it will change now. The media is even worse than ever. "Nothing to see here.. so let's cut to these pictures of poor, downtrodden freedom fighters enduring the torture of having panties on their heads!"

I really hope you're right. It would prove that there is at least SOME justice in the world.

the failure to pursue alleged wrongdoing by (Hillary) Clinton's senatorial campaign in 2000 and among a variety of party and White House officials involved in fundraising at the time

I pray about things such as this, and I'll keep praying that wretched and manipulative people are held accountable for their actions though I cannot hold my breath anymore, I mean for god's sake she was elected the Jr. Janitor of New York........
