Here is the link to a story about the Hillary Clinton fundraising scandal of 2000 that appeared yesterday. Peter Paul has demanded a correction.

Your article in the New Orleans Times Picayune May 7, 2005http://www.nola.com/news/t-p/frontpage/index.ssf?/base/news-3/1115447139105270.xml
I take issue with the following quotes:
"As his civil case loses ground in court, Paul has seen his legal problems mount."
..a meritless civil suit brought by Peter paul, and have succeeded in having most of that suit dismissed."
If you will review the narrative on www.hillcap.org, you will see the facts surrounding the progress of Paul v Clinton contradict the supposition you have reported based on David Kendall's misleading analysis.
My legal problems have been diminishing since the government finally allowed me to return to the US in September, 2003. The charges filed against me in california were dismissed in January, 2005, and the charges in NY were greatly diminished in a superseding indictment filed by the govcernment in May, 2004. There was no $50 million stock fraud, there was only a violation of SEC Reg 10(b)5 in the way I traded my own stock in accounts I legally held at Merrill Lynch.My allocution, prepared by the government, and the superseding indictment confirm that. So in fact my legal problems have been diminishing dramatically after I first blew the whistle on the Clintons in March, 2001.
David Kendall is parroting his mantra that my civil suit, Paul v Clintons et al, is meritless and most of it has been dismissed. First, he is insulting the integrity and capability of the California judiciary, which listened to his arguments at the trial level, the appellate level and then at the California Supreme Court - and they all agreed that the first ever suit alleging a President and Senator conspired with others to defraud a business associate had sufficient merit to proceed on its substantive charges! That shows that the entire California judiciary believes the suit has sufficient merit to cause a President and Senator to prepare for trial. David Kendall owes an apology to those jurists who thought his arguments to throw out the case against his clients had no merit.
The civil case, as a result, is now primed for discovery, which will demonstrate through evidence and witness testimony that Hillary Clinton orchestrated the biggest campaign finance fraud in US history, for which she is allowing her functionary, former finance director David Rosen, face a first ever trial for election fraud, committed at her behest. For any legal questions on this suit, feel free to talk with Robert Levy, public interest lawyer and 1st amendment litigator in Los Angeles, (phone number redacted by DFU)
In the future, I would hope you make the rudimentary journalistic effort to at least give the appearance of impartiality and professionalism, and that you make a minimal effort to obtain some response from a principal in your story before you report subjective conclusions based on a clearly biased mouthpiece for the malevolent parties.
Peter Paul
I'm not sure I would have been so gentle. ;-)
fun
This could get ugly, but then, I won't hold my breath.
She's very good at not remembering.
Time for Rush to bring out the old parody again.
There is much, much more to the story. www.hillcap.org
Hang tough, Mr. Paul! And thanks for the update, DFU.
I know this is serious, but every time I read a story about this, the same thing pops into my head:
"Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't"
