Today Sean Hannity had Peter Paul on his show. Who is Peter Paul? Well you may ask, he is the primary organizer of the August 12, 2000 Hollywood Gala Salute to President Clinton. According to the website Hillcap this was a combination Salute and Fundraiser for Hillary's 2000 Senatorial campaign. The gala ended up costing Paul 1.2 million dollars and raised one-million dollars in hard money for Hillary's coffers. The problem, Hillary's campaign only declared a cost of $400 thousand resulting in a net additional $800 thousand of "in kind" contribution by Paul. Why is this a problem? Because under Federal Election Law, Paul's "in kind" contribution is considered a hard money contribution. Had the Clinton campaign declared the full amount, it would have bankrupted the campaign. Can you say "victory through fraud?"
Federal prosecutors, in January, unsealed an indictment against Hillary's National Finance Director, David F. Rosen. In the indictment, which neglects to mention Hillary by name, instead calling her "Senator A" and names Paul as contributor "C-1," indicts Rosen on four counts of knowingly filing, or causing to be filed, false disclosure information with the FEC and of knowingly causing to be written false documentation to the fact that the total in kind contributions from C-1 were limited to $200,000. Each of the four counts is punishable by five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The trial was scheduled to begin yesterday, but was postponed until next week.
Here's the bombshell. Mr. Paul will provide testimony and hard evidence that Hillary not only knew of the misrepresentation, but that she orchestrated it and other activities in violation of federal election law. The reason for these machinations? Had the Clinton campaign declared the full amount of these campaign contributions, it probably would have bankrupted the coffers. Can you say "victory through fraud?" For those of us who have always known the Clintons for the team responsible for the most corrupt administration in the last century, all of this should come as no surprise. To obsess, we had "filegate," "Monicagate," "Whitewatergate," "Fostergate," "travelgate," "IRSgate," "pardongate," and now we've added "Galagate."
Watch for the MSM to be on a full court press with this story. Dave Kendall, the Clinton's spin control (read scandal-remember the impeachment procedings?) lawyer has already alluded to Mr. Paul's prior criminal record. In the eighties, Paul was convicted of cocaine possession and attempted fraud. He is currently out on bail for an appeal on a conviction for securities fraud stemming from the dot-com bubble of the 90's. If it wasn't for the evidence he brings to the table, I would be inclined to dismiss all of this as an attempt to curry favor with the Department of Justice. However, having read the documents including faxes signed by Hillary and Bill, I am inclined to believe that this is major stuff.
Hillary's Lawyer David Kendall has appealed the Superior Court's denial of her Motion to Dismiss under California's Anti-Slapp Rule, to the Appellate Court of California. It is Hillary's position that the First Amendment protects her from being held liable for committing business frauds in order to fund her election to the U.S. Senate. Come on Hill! The first amendment? Are you now claiming that fraud and extortion are now forms of free speech? I know you and Bill have no shame, but really, the first amendment? This is the best that "Wonder Woman" can do?
I have always stated that I believed that Bill and Hillary are sociopaths, completely amoral, and probably certifiable. This information has only strengthened my opinion. Others believe this to. In a hand delivered letter to Hillary in 2001, Mr. Paul stated the following:
"Rather than perpetuating the signature Clinton ethic of denial, semantical and rhetorical responses to valid requests and questions, and stonewalling,it is time to accept your responsibility as a Federal elected official and do the right thing according to the letter of the law, the position your campaign spokespeople have taken, and natural laws of right and ethical conduct and return the contributions I made, which you have by your collective actions, made illegal."
Hold on to your hats folks, this one’s got legs, and because of Hill’s sacred status, it’s gonna get nasty.
bump for later, and later, and later, and later, and later...
This explains why they are going after Delay. It's a pre-emptive strike, plus a warning.
This story has alot of players, should be fun to follow.
One can always hope.
Could we address her as the "First Prisoner", or
would "Co-felon" be better?
"The problem, Hillary's campaign only declared a cost of $400 thousand resulting in a net additional $800 thousand of "in kind" contribution by Paul. Why is this a problem? Because under Federal Election Law..."
Hold it right there. The problem is that most people don't give a hoot about Federal Election Law--they fixed that, didn't they?--and the MSM isn't about to pick that aspect of the story up...EXCEPT the feds have the lowdown on Paul's Hollywood party from Ray Reggie's tapes, plus two years more documenting misbehavior in the top ranks of the democratic party.
We won't be hearing much about violations of Federal Election Law. What we will hear about is the sex and drugs...but when it goes to court, the illegal fundraising is what will land them in jail.
Hillary will skate. She'll claim she didn't know anything (even in the face of documents with her signature), the MSM will buy her denials, and some underling will take the fall.
"Federal prosecutors, in January, unsealed an indictment against Sen. Hillary Clinton's National Finance Director, David F. Rosen. The indictment...indicts Rosen on four counts of knowingly filing, or causing to be filed, false disclosure information with the FEC...Mr. Paul will provide testimony and hard evidence that Sen. Clinton not only knew of the misrepresentation, but that she orchestrated it and other activities in violation of federal election law."
I agree...
Anyone who believes Hitlery will take a fall, is delusional.
Semper Fi
Yes. It was very informative. My thinking is that we need to get this story out to those who are wavering about this saber-toothed wolverine. We certainly can't depend on the alphabet networks to cover Her Royal Thighness's gross, felonious activities.
Bump for later.
But, just as with Teddy, we will hang the FACTS around Hillary's neck like a rotting, stinking albatross carcass. She is finished, just like he was in 1980, from ever being President.
Keep your eye on the big picture. Keeping her out of the White House is the big issue. Putting her in the Big House, which will NOT happen (unfortunately) is the small picture.

She may skate on this legally, but her popularity will stagnate at the 42% she has always had and won't win her any converts that she desperately needs.
Plus, this could be the story that returns legitimacy to the MSM and they may see that. They can't pull the wool over everyone's eyes like they used to. Just ask Dan Rather.
No, she'll try "I can't recall.", which is just what I want to hear from the Dum '08 front-runner. Over and over and over and over.
"I don't remember, I don't recall
I got no memory of anything at all
I don't remember, I don't recall
I got no memory of anything
Anything at all." -- Peter Gabriel, "I Don't Remember", III, 1980
Well, actually that's a lie. The Hildabeaste behind bars for 20 years or so would satisfy me :)

bttt
I hope you're right.
