Another poorly written article by the Post's hapless "Washington insider." Will someone please tell me here, what is the crime? By deflating expenses to show bigger "profits" shall we say, you've only made an idiot out of yourself for being exposed. I don't get the crime: false reporting to inflate your ego? If this were a taxable institution you'd only have increased your tax liability (a good thing from the government's perspective.) He's obviously an idiot, everyone who works for the Clinton's is morally bankrupt and mindlessly dumb, however I dont get what the crime is here. Could Orin have bothered to cite the statute or law that he broke or the point of this trial?
Hillary Campaign Finance Director Indicted (1-7-05; the 10-page indictment) smoking gun ^ | 1-2005 | website Posted on 04/21/2005 4:19:42 PM PDT by doug from upland LINK TO VIEW THE INDICTMENT Hillary Campaign Finance Director Indicted Rosen charged with fudging numbers for 2000 Hollywood fundraiser JANUARY 7--The finance director for Hillary Clinton's 2000 U.S. Senate campaign was indicted today on federal charges of filing bogus financial reports with the Federal Election Commission. According to the below indictment, David Rosen reported the false numbers in connection with a "Hollywood tribute" honoring Clinton. Investigators allege that a "wealthy individual" paid more than $1.1 million to underwrite the Clinton gala and that those payments were delivered through "several corporate entities controlled by him." While that whopping sum should have been reported to the FEC as an "in-kind contribution," prosecutors charge that Rosen covered up the real source of the money, and even caused the creation of a fictitious $200,000 invoice to aid his scheme. The August 2000 fundraiser was billed as a "Hollywood Tribute to William Jefferson Clinton," though the funds raised went to his wife's campaign kitty.
That is an article worth posting. (Sorry, I don't understand why Deborah Orin has a job,)
