A dream team of lawyers to bring the clintons down? Like Ann Coulter...only in your dreams, I'm afraid.

Shocking! Shocking! /sarcasm off
Mr. Paul says Judicial Watch let his civil suit against the Clintons linger in court while using it to raise more than $15 million since 2001 from people who dislike the Clintons.
Just to clarify. The $15 million must be what they raised just from Mr. Paul's case. JW in total has taken in $75+ million over the past few years according to their IRS 990 filings.
I'm still wondering why JW is a nonprofit. It's hardly a charity.
It's been obvious for about 5 years that no client with a legitimate claim should hire Judicial Watch.
so JD's goal is to be stuck in court for four years? Wow, what an endorsement.
I wonder if they tell all their clients, we'll tie up your claim in court for decades.
(steely)
"I'm still wondering why JW is a nonprofit. It's hardly a charity."
It hardly has a purpose other than mailing shocking circulars and cashing checks.
I'd suspect the Clinton machine broke a few kneecaps and convinced Mr. Paul to turn on Judical Watch-or else!
Will someone please tell me if Judicial Watch has brought a single one of its cases against the Clintons to a successful conclusion? All it seems to do is file the suits and use the filings for publicity so it can raise more money.
I have long suspected that Judicial Watch is an arm of the DNC. It milks money from conservatives with the promise of great results while actually accomplishing nothing. By taking on these cases and then doing nothing it acts to protect the guilty parties. This case only strengthens my suspicions.
As I pointed out after his arrest, the fugitive Peter Paul could have waived extradition and returned to the U.S. immediately.
BINGO!!!! IMHO JW is the DNC mop to clean up and control any potential or real liability blowing back into the Democrats.
Any "dream team" of Republican lawyers must include the incomparable Ann Coulter. (My dream at least).

JW currently has over $16,500,000 in assets.
This is a "charity" we exempt from taxes?
Judicial Watch; the Mig 29 of legal organizations. Never shot down shit!
Some smart people may say that your analysis is correct. :)
And people are beginning to wonder how much was actually spent on Peter's case.
With all due respect Hal, under the laws of Brazil, unique in the world, all extradition proceedings must be determined by the Supreme Court of Brazil with absolutely no possibility of the defendant waiving that process. The US government, in its own opposition to my bail request when I was finally returned to the US in September, 2003, advised the court that once they commenced extradition, it takes a minimum of 18-24 months to complete. However, the US at all times had the power to withdraw the extradition request, terminate the process, and allow me to return voluntarily (with an escort)the very next day, if it wanted me back. It refused to allow me to do that, even after 59,874 supporters filed petitions (along with contributions toward my case through Judicial Watch) with Attorney General Ashcroft in November, 2001, asking him to allow me to do just that, so I could give testimony about the Clinton's misconduct. Not only did the US refuse to allow me to return voluntarily, it used the progressively worsening prison conditions I was illegally subjected to, at the direction of the US Embassy, to try and coerce me to plead guilty to the original "pump and dump" stock fraud indictment filed against me as the only way it would allow me to return to the US immediately. Then, the government waited 58 days AFTER it was notified to pick me up and return me to the US. That notification was delayed procedurally by the US for EIGHT MONTHS after the Supreme Court found that I was extraditable and after I waived any appeal of that 5-4 decision, to finally pick me up. Upon my return the original pump and dump indictment that the government demanded I plead to was superseded by a new indictment that radically changed the charges against me to misusing margin accounts under the supervision of Merrill Lynch.
To HAL9000 and the rest of the FReepers, krucader_bravepages_com is the real Peter Paul.
Your assessment is incorrect.
