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.

Thanks for the ping. Here is what I said at #240 before I saw your ping.
Uh-oh! Look out, Reggie, I smell an arkanside coming your way. BTW, where is your cat?
BTTT
OMG, dare we dream?
Misleading headline:
Nothing either of these two families do shocks me anymore.
While the informant's work for the FBI on Mr. Rosen's case dates back to 2002, the agency continued to work closely with the witness through the end of 2004, court documents indicate. The November 2004 filing indicates the FBI was planning to use the informant in an investigation of "a prominent political figure who may be involved in illegally soliciting foreign nationals to contribute to national political campaigns." The target of the inquiry was suspected of "funneling illegal campaign contributions from foreign nationals to individuals running for federal office."

,,, while Klinton was in the White House it might as well have been Neverland.
It's too late to kill Reggie. The damage is done. He's gone public. The Clintons would only hurt themselves more to kill him now. They will try to destroy his reputation, [as though they have any kind of salvaged reputation themeselves, needing a sucker state like New York to fall for all their BS.]
Reno's best skill was the ability to look at the side of a barn close up and not be sure there was a farm nearby.
Has this story disappeared from the MSM? I did a search on the Des Moines Register and got no hits on Reggie or Kennedy. If these crooks were Rs it would be front-page news.
Good question. Why isn't Drudge on the story?
I'm thinking that this is the reason that the media has been all over Tom Delay. Now the Hillary scandal will be, they all do it, let's just move on.
I'm coming into this discussion late, and am behind on the info. Can you tell me, does it appear Ted Kennedy is at the root of this wiretap in hopes he can destroy Hillary?
I didn 't get to hear Drudge's radio show Sunday eve. Did he even mention this?
Why is Drudge "spiking" this story?
We ALL should email Drudge and DEMAND that he cover this!!!
BUMP
Joke:
Hillary's first three nights as President:
Hillary Clinton is elected President and is spending her first night in the White House. She has waited so long..........
The ghost of George Washington appears, and Hillary says, "How can I best serve my country?"
Washington says, "Never tell a lie."
"Ouch!" Says Hillary, "I don't know about that."
The next night, the ghost of Thomas Jefferson appears...
Hillary says, "How can I best serve my country?"
Jefferson says, "Listen to the people."
"Ohhh! I really don't want to do that."
On the third night, the ghost of Abe Lincoln appears...
Hillary says, "How can I best serve my country?"
Lincoln says, "Go to the theater."
