May 27, 2005 — Former Clinton campaign finance director David Rosen was acquitted today on the two remaining felony charges against him. Clinton supporters will of course spin this as an exoneration of the entire campaign, but it seems more likely that the jury decided that it wasn't Rosen's responsibility to see that accurate reports were filed to the FEC. That's true enough: the false FEC reports were filed by Clinton campaign treasurer Andrew Grossman.
Overall, the trial served to confirm a number of points we have been making -- that the costs of the Hollywood Gala greatly exceeded the amount represented to the FEC by the Clinton campign, that Peter Paul paid for those expenses rather than Stan Lee Media, as the campaign had claimed, and so on. We'll post more on what we've learned from the testimony in the Rosen trial shortly, but it clearly raises new questions about Hillary Clinton's involvement, and also strengthens the claims made by Peter Paul in his ongoing civil suit against the Clintons, Paul v. William Jefferson Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, et al.. That suit is now the only remaining opportunity to put Hillary Clinton under oath, and get to the bottom of what remains the largest campaign fraud in American history.
"I don't recall.....", "I have no memory of...."
rinse, repeat.
