HILL: MY $$ MAN 'WILL BE CLEARED'

April 23, 2005 -- WASHINGTON — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday stood behind her indicted former fund-raiser after prosecutors said Ted Kennedy's brother-in-law taped him making "incriminating" statements about her Senate campaign's Hollywood gala. "The Senate campaign committee fully cooperated with the investigation. [David] Rosen worked hard for the campaign and we trust that when all the facts are in, he will be cleared," Clinton lawyer David Kendall said in an e-mail to The Post.

Rosen goes to trial May 3 on charges of falsely underreporting the costs of the August 2000 gala — thus inflating the amount of campaign cash ostensibly raised for Clinton at the event.

Sen. Kennedy's brother-in-law — New Orleans operative Ray Reggie — was the mystery witness who went undercover for the FBI for 21/2 years and wore a wire to tape Rosen.

Sources told The Post Reggie never taped either Bill or Hillary Clinton during the time that he was working undercover for the FBI, from July 2002 through last December.

Of course the Clinton's have David Kendall, their personal attorney, representing Reggie.

[mass55th]

Make that...representing Rosen.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Nick: Are we to believe that Reggie wore this wire and taped for 2 1/2 years just to catch Rosen in a $400,000 lie?

"HILL: MY $$ MAN 'WILL BE CLEARED"

Yeah, cleared like she and Bill were in the Whitewater case.

In their minds they were cleared of all wrongdoing, but we all know that that wasn't the case at all.

You can hear her now when( and if) Fatso Timmy on Meet the Depressed ask her about this..."oh , for heaven's sake Tim we all know that happened a gazillion years ago and no on then nor now ever said my office had anything to do with this." or another stock answer: " My goodness, its a sad day in American politics when these right wing fanatics seize on trivial incidents like this instead of focusing on ways to make the world one big village. Did one of them ever support my healthcare program to cover for everyone on the whole planet?"

Play taps on the bugle
For Susan MacDougal
She wouldn't talk
So Hillary could walk

He didn't tape Bill or Hill because he wasn't told to, I'd bet.

And why would that be....?

He can be visited by the ghost of James McDougal

Does the headline imply that..."My $$ man will be cleared or ELSE! Or should we be asking what did she know and when did she know it. Mrs. Clinton seems certain of her facts and lawyer David Kendall is still pitching the Clinton mantra, "It never happened..." his constant job of manumission for the tawdry Clintons.

[daler]

Bullseye.

The Clintons (or any Democrat I think of, now that you mention it) never have to pay for their crimes or misdeeds; and anyone who thinks that's going to change is living in La La Land.

Hillary could be found holding a smoking gun over a bleeding corpse and the evening headlines would focus on Tom Delay, John Bolton, Halliburton and the need for more gun control.

He'd better hope somebody's got his back, and that he doesn't have any close relatives. We've seen this over and over - dead men tell no tales...

[CPOSharky]

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday stood behind her indicted former fund-raiser...

A long ways behind and getting farther and farther...

[E. Pluribus Unum]

...[David] Rosen worked hard for the campaign and we trust that when all the facts are in, he will be cleared," Clinton lawyer David Kendall said...

That sounds as much like a threat as a statement.

[blue-duncan]

Remember "El Rusbo's" theme music whenever Hillary was about to speak at the height of Watergate and the missing billing records? I think we are about to get a repeat of it. I can hear the music now "I don't remember" and that old favorite "I don't have a present recollection of it".

[Miss Behave]

Cleared or CLEANED?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I still think she'll slither out of this, like always.

I still wonder how Susan MacDougal would feel if Hillary went down from all of this. Her "sacrifice" would have been for nothing. I'd give her a big Nelson from "The Simpsons" Ha.

[FormerACLUmember]

Translation from Hillary-ese to English: "I bel;ieve the fix is in."

[cloud8]

> Gee, wonder what Bruce Lindsay's up to these days...?

David Kendall's on the case, actually responding to the Post in an email, so this is Serious Trouble for Rodham. I'm sure the clintons' gallery of spinners, lawyers, bagmen and thugs were up all night with this one.

[ozzymandus]

Cleared, covered up, forgotten, dead, it's all the same to hillary. The point is, she won't be touched.
