This guy needs to stay as far away from Fort Marcy Park as possible!

... arguing that Mr. Rosen did not, in fact, have a motive, since underreporting the contributions would not have produced any financial benefit for Mrs. Clinton's campaign ...

Could some kind of money laundering be involved?

[wagglebee]

With BJ and Hitlery, anything is possible.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Peter Paul could me in Mounds of trouble. Almond Joying it.

[dyed_in_the_wool]

The case offers a bizarre and tangled tale of how Mr. Paul, a smooth operator with myriad connections and a troubled past, got so close to America's first couple in a political culture dominated by money.

Seems like its the Clinton's who have the most trouble with these issues. I don't think it's the 'culture' (or maybe it is in the DNC...)

Has it occurred to the NY Slimes that the Klintoons are "for sale" (however the buyer will get, at best, a subpeona to appear before the grand jury), and that the Klintoons are the epitome of "myriad connections and a troubled past"?

[thoughtomator]

This is a whitewash designed to minimize the Clinton role. We'd have to believe that the Clintons are much stupider than they have shown they are in order to believe they didn't know the score here.

For the smartest woman in the world ignorance is bliss

[hoosiermama]

Yelp! Hill/Billy are in it for the $,$$$,$$$.00

[thoughtomator]

Probably has, but they're hoping we're too naive to pick up on the obvious... when your campaign, your party, and indeed your very political existence are all testaments to the power of bribery, it's a bit disingenuous to claim innocence every time you get caught.

[wagglebee]

If BJ and the Hildabeast ever turned down money, from any source whatsoever, it was because they didn't understand what was being offered!

[wagglebee]

You left out a few commas!

[thoughtomator]

Or it was yet another questionable incident immediately following a previous scandal.

[wagglebee]

It all depends on what the definition of "donation" is.

[Ben Hecks]

"This is a whitewash designed to minimize the Clinton role."

...and a fairly lengthy one at that. Maybe someone is worried.

[BluH2o]

Interesting how Slick and Hildabeast attract sleaze ... mostly because they are sleaze. Raising campaign monies from the dregs of society and very questionable foreign entities (Chicoms for instance) was all in a days work.

[aShepard]

.......""I could care less about that. My motivation was to do this as a favor to Bill to demonstrate my good faith." ....

Yup! that makes an awful lot of sense! Here in August of 2000, klintoons two terms over, this jerk springs for a couple personal $ mils, on "good faith", while the FatAss crook is running for the Senate and trying to stiff anyone and everyone, (including an upstate waitress) to raise money for her!

Yeah, no f--in' problem here, jes move along!

[hoosiermama]

I just posted the $,$$$,$$$.00 in the public accounts. Wan't posting that in the off shore, or Swiss accounts.

You're a nut. That is dark (chocolate) humor.
