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?

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...)

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.

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.

.......""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!

"Associates of the Clintons say the couple did not know of Mr. Paul's troubled past at the time"

The above line got me right there! This is total Bull$hit. We have a member of our family that has a roofing business in Westchester, and they were hired by the Clintoons to do some work, before they could ever pick up a hammer EVERYBODY in the busines, to include family members had background checks...this "we didn't know about his past" just doesn't wash....

"But I still think I need therapy for having dealt with these guys," he said, referring to Mr. Paul and his associates.

Seems most people who cozy up to Hill and Bubba either need therapy or get a bullet to their brain. Thank God those folks are no longer in the White House!

[kittymyrib]

Aw, come on, NYT...Paul sounds like EXACTLY the kind of guy the Clintoons have attracted to themselves throughout THEIR checkered careers. The NYT should make one of their famous charts of all the flim-flam artists, crooks, and grifters that have been drawn to Bill and Hill like flies to manure. And the stock answer when the stench is detected is Hillary's famous grand jury answer, "I don't recall." As Bill told Jennifer Flowers so long ago, "Deny, deny, deny." That's good enough for the pathetic NYT.
