Shocker: Ted Kennedy's In-Law Spied on the Clintons

NY POST ^ | April 22, 2005 | DEBORAH ORIN and IAN BISHOP in D.C. & HOWARD BREUER in L.A.

Sen. Ted Kennedy's brother-in-law is the mystery witness who raised $100,000 for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and then went undercover and wore a wire to help the feds nab one of her top moneymen on charges of fund-raising-fraud, The Post has learned.

The witness, Ray Reggie, 43, has a sister, Victoria, who married Kennedy in 1992, and prosecutors say Reggie secretly recorded "incriminating" statements made by David Rosen, a top Clinton fund-raiser.

Reggie was close enough to Bill and Hillary Clinton to sleep over at the White House in 2000 and stay up chatting with the first couple into the wee hours.

Sources tell The Post that he is the "cooperating witness" — described but not named in recent court papers — and that he is likely to testify at Rosen's May 3 trial as part of a plea deal struck with federal prosecutors.

The well-connected Reggie stayed undercover for nearly 21/2 years, helping the feds on multiple probes, and was still wearing a wire and making secret tapes as recently as last December, federal documents show.

Reggie hobnobbed at the very top Democratic levels. A month after he'd raised $100,000 for Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign in 2000, Bill Clinton invited him to a state dinner for the king of Morocco — and a sleepover at the White House.

Reggie told The Times-Picayune of New Orleans that he and his wife later got a post-midnight knock on their bedroom door. The Clintons had come to chat.

Yesterday, Reggie, a Democratic campaign consultant who worked for both Clintons and for Al Gore, pleaded guilty in New Orleans to unrelated multimillion-dollar bank-fraud charges.

why have the Bush father/son allowed BJ such touchy/feely photo-ops lately. Why include him in warm/fuzzy type events????? Is it simply the "keep your friends close, and enemies closer" thingie

I have often thought that bubba was more of a good ole boy that craves attention - (and debauchery ;o) ...) and that hitlery was a hard core commie/socialist from the get go who 'trained" and used bubba to get where she is today. I wonder that she isn't the real evil, with malice and agenda aforethought, no holds barred, no crime to big...to get to the white house as No. 1.

Maybe bubba's been offered a deal - wouldn't that be the icing on the cake - and SUCH karmic justice! (He is no longer any threat, politically. She has always been the threat...and bubba's no longer any real use to her now.)

One should never play poker with President Bush.

got that right! Love to watch that Texas Boy lay the cards down...

[Liz]

Just fine thank you, Lando........yup....lots of it.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Yep. This explains the close relationship during the campaign Ted Kennedy kept with Kerry.

[Brian Allen]

Nope -- only the arrogance of youth!

[None was involved in any of the qualifying events for the Twelve-Mile-High Club, either.

Nor for any of the lesser Degrees.

After several generations these jokers are still more of the t[h]urd wurld than of Ours!

[ozzymandus]

Nyuck,nyuck,nyuck. No wonder they call them RATS.

[pageonetoo]

lets keep it less graphic...

[wasp69]

LOL, how many complaints have we seen that President Bush let the clintbillies "skate"? How many complaints have we seen about President Bush cozying up to the arkanslime?

Funny, I have been thinking the same thing. I am also thinking this is a closer shot across hillary's bow warning her not to run in 08.

Mr. Reggie had better not let Teddy drive him over any bridges in the near future.

[Liz]

"Darn it all, Teddy's gone off the bridge...again."

[isom35]

agreed, no more palne trips for him, taxis and trains only.

I hear CBS-TV is considering doing a a "Survivor" segment set in Texas.

Contestants will start in Dallas, then travel to Waco, Austin, San Antonio, back to Houston and down to Brownsville on the border, proceed up to Del Rio, on to El Paso then to Midland, Odessa, Lubbock and Amarillo, then turn back east to Abilene, Fort Worth and Dallas.

They will be driving pink Volvos with bumper stickers that read: "I voted for Al Gore. I love the Dixie Chicks. Texas BBQ sucks, and the Alamo was a waste of time. I want Hillary in 2008, and I'm here to confiscate your guns!"

Whoever makes it back to Dallas alive, wins.

GRAND PRIZE:

A one way trip to Ruby Ridge in a vintage hippie van, plus all the Kool-Aid you can drink.

..a post midnight knock on their door and it was the Clinons!! OMG! AFTER midnight!! What in the heck would make the Clintons come calling the Reggie's after MIDNIGHT????

[MHGinTN]

I wouldn't doubt for a second that Janet'Waco'Reno left a few loyalists at DOJ and they keep the clinton cabal informed. The criminality of clinton and his goon squad is not in question, so watch for this to peter out with a whimper ... nothing will stand in the way of hatellary getting the noimination in 2008, Satan will see to that one.

[Ann Archy]

You said .......The battle for the control of the democratic party continues between the Kennedy-Kerry ultraliberal wing and the Clinton-Clinton crime cartel.

BINGO!! That makes more sense than anything!!!

So you think that Kennedy (Kerry's too stupid) wants Hillary to go DOWN!! WOW......I'm speechless at your brilliance.

[Allosaurs_r_us]

"But.......but..............but................."

 

Yeah, I know how you feel.

 

But......but............but............

 

We have to keep it up. I'm a true believer in "you always end up getting what you deserve" and I can't think of anyone else that deserves to be guano'd on more than these two. I have to have faith the American People, even those on the left, will come to their senses and vilify the "Toons" into oblivion. My opinion BTW cannot be voiced here without a serious reprimand from Admin Moderator.

 

I know it's asking a lot, but there have to be repercussions for this sort of behavior. If not then we're........ doomed.........doomed, I tell ya. LOL

[Ann Archy]

The Reggie family is unbelievable....the father was/is in PRISON....the son committed bank fraud....the daughter is married to someone who let a woman drown.....Victoria must be a real wnner also.
