David Rosen, former National Finance Director of Hillary Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign, is under a four-count federal indictment charging that he "knowingly and willfully caused to be made materially false, fictitious, and fraudulent statements" to the Federal Election Commission regarding more than $1 million in campaign contributions. Each of the four felony counts carries a possible penalty of five years in prison and $250,000 in fines.
This is the most massive fraud ever charged against a political campaign by the U.S. Government.
The criminal charges against Rosen stem from the largest fundraiser on behalf of Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign. The August 12, 2000 Hollywood Gala Salute to President Clinton featured performances by Cher, Diana Ross, Toni Braxton, Patti LaBelle, Melissa Etheridge, Sugar Ray and Michael Bolton. The event cost organizer Peter Paul more than $1.2 million to host, and raised $1 million in "hard money" contributions. By falsely reporting those costs as $401,419, the Clinton campaign avoided paying at least $800,000 in hard money -- not including the fair market value of the performances -- during the crucial final weeks before the election. If Paul's contribution had been reported fully as required by law, it could have bankrupted the campaign.
Peter Paul's extensive evidence, which we will organize and present on this site, shows clearly that Hillary Clinton knew of the actions taken by her finance director, and that she orchestrated those actions and others in violation of federal campaign statutes and regulations.
Mr. Paul is being represented in his ongoing civil suit against the Clintons by the U.S. Justice Foundation, which has formed the Hillary Clinton Accountability Project to put the facts of the most massive and least reported campaign finance scandal in history before the American people.
Hillary Clinton with Peter Paul, her most generous campaign contributor
If it's a local broadcast, maybe a few FReepers could Tivo that sucker - for further documentation purposes...
Doug, Doug, you truly are losing it.
lol, Thank you for your continued efforts on this. Chip, chip.
A criminal trial begins against the chief financial director of a senate campaign. And, despite the Clinton efforts to stop it, a civil case against Bill and Hillary goes forward. There will be more breaking.
it will never make it into gannett or their flagship, usa today, or other mainstream newspapers or tv.
so the average american will not hear about it or believe it if you tell them.
and, hillary will be elected in 2008.
The MSM will ignore it, not to worry. This witch will react
to this charge the way the Clintons always do: deny, deny, deny.
However, I think this neutralizes the Tom DeLay political
assassination attempt by the left. The Dems will never sacrifice Her Majesty for DeLay. The Repubs will offer to cut a deal with the Dems.: you shut up about DeLay, we'll let the Clintons get away with their umpteenth scandal.
Advice to Republicans: DON'T GO FOR IT!!!
For courtroom appearances, the following rules are enforced:
Shirt and shoes are required in the courtroom.
Tank tops and T-shirts are NOT allowed in the courtroom.
Food, drinks, and gum chewing are NOT allowed in the courtroom.
Weapons are NOT allowed in the courthouse.
Pagers and cell phones must be turned off.
Some of you are going to have some apologizing to do for giving up the faith.
Heck, I was the only protester here last night at a speech given by Bill Clinton at F & M College in Lancaster, PA. No action report is coming but my sign said, "Why Do You Believe Him Now When You Couldn't As President???". The other side of the sign said, "F & M College...An American Tradition, Bill Clinton...An American Disgrace".
Never, never will I forgive those people for selling out and giving away our country. People have no idea the damage they did to our country. The MSM won't report it.
have you seen this issue in usa today?
"Check out the pic of Hillary with Peter Paul.... If looks could kill!"
They possibly have.
And that picture was when they were friendly.
Would you like to see it there?
why not?
I am asking you. Would you like to see it there? If so, I'll see what I can do.
yes!
i would like to see it there.
we on free republic discuss these things as if they are common knowledge across the united states.
but this hillary scandal is not common knowledge. that's what the democrats do best--omission.
the nyt, lat, gannett and their 100's of papers including usa today, and cnn, abc, nbc, and cbs do not publish this stuff.
today's usa today has a front page article on tom delay. no hillary.
so yes! if you can get it into usa today, i would be most appreciative.
thanks.
Actually, the NY TIMES has written about it. Unfortunately, Raymond Hernandez made some errors. Although I have left him a message in the hopes of setting him straight, he has not called me back yet.
Well you have to remember that Peter Paul, (if that's his real name), is a D and lip movement with any serious D is usually a indication of deception. In other words, no one involved in this sordid tale can be trusted, but since Paul is implicating the Honorable Hillary in an evil and nefarious conspiracy, I am inclined to distrust him less.
my point is that general and important:
we on freerepublic discuss things all the time, thinking that it's obvious, and that people of common sense and good will agree with us. but they don't get the same information as we do.
but, we are only some 200,000 people out of 296,000,000. the majority of these people get their news from newspapers and tv that cleverly omit things critical of the democrats, but amplify things critical of the republicans.
today on the schnitt show, todd said: you know, i think the media sends reporters over to iraq with the aim of making our military look bad.
I flew to North Carolina last week to meet with him. Go check out hillcap.org. He has that stuff and more.
