The Smoking Gun ^

Republican pol is booked on conspiracy, money laundering charges

OCTOBER 20--Here's the Tom DeLay mug shot snapped this afternoon when the deposed House majority leader appeared at a Harris County, Texas sheriff's office to be booked on conspiracy and money laundering charges. The Republican pol, 58, was forced to submit to a brief photo and fingerprint session after a District Judge yesterday issued an arrest warrant for him. DeLay's mug shot was taken at the sheriff's office in Richmond. The congressman is scheduled for his initial court appearance tomorrow in Travis County District Court. (2 pages)

The idea that Pelosi can even whine about a "climate of Republican corruption" when the Dems are routinely being indicted and convicted, is a joke. And the ONLY reason they have the gall to even engage in this rhetoric is because they know the media buries most of the Democrats malfeseance.

Just coming off the 2004 election indicates the amount of fraud and crime that the Democrats engage in. I'm actually kind of stunned that the Democrats would go after Delay for campaign violations when they know damn well the very financial success they've enjoyed in the last decade is a result of their blatant campaign violations.

Even the so-called Rove/Libby "slash-and-burn" tactics are a dangerous road for democrats to tread since they are bordering on criminalizing whistleblowing. Putting aside the status/legalities of Plame's position, how can anyone think that correcting a lie is somehow a criminal act. If so, how can the mediacrats celebrate Mark Felt (Deepthroat) as a hero, when some of the very activities he engaged in were prohibited by Federal law...laws that he was very familiar with because of his position. What's even more sad is that as Democrats are going after Republicans for everything under the Sun, we have a Bush-led DOJ that argued for leniency for a convicted Sandy Bergler.

Linda Tripp gets threatened with jail for daring to record a conversation in order to protect herself; at the same time, a Florida couple illegaly records a cell-phone conversation between Newt and another GOPer, that not only gets passed to Jim McDermott, it also gets disclosure by the NY Times.

Chuck Colson goes to jail for possessing and disseminating one FBI file..yet the Clinton's and Craig Livingstone get a free pass for possessing over 900 FBI files. Heck, Ken Bacon did the same thing that Colson did when he publicly released Tripp's private employment records to the press...yet, not only doesn't he see a day of jail, he isn't even charged with a crime.

The level of corruption in the Democrat party isn't just limited to their own criminal activities; it encompasses an out-of-control double standard that is literally criminalizing conservatism as they use the courts to defeat the opponents they can't defeat at the ballot-box. With a complicit media, Republicans had better wake up to this fact; this is no longer just their political futures that are at stake, but their very freedoms and livelihoods.

The Hillary Election Fraud Conspiracy
Hillary Clinton Accountability Project (HillCAP) ^ | October 20, 2005 | Hillary Clinton Accountability Project


Posted on 10/20/2005 2:25:49 PM PDT by Interesting Times



The Hillary Election Fraud Conspiracy: How Democrat leaders conspired with the Clintons to obtain millions in campaign contributions and hide it from the Feds




Key leaders of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), including DNC Chair Ed Rendell, DNC Convention and DNC Chair Terry McAuliffe, DNC California Regional Chair Stephanie Berger, and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Harold Ickes, recruited businessman Peter Paul as a major donor to the DNC. They induced Paul to underwrite, host and produce fundraising events for the campaigns of Al Gore and Hillary Clinton in order to pursue his efforts to hire Bill Clinton when he left the White House. They then conspired with the Clintons to hide Paul's various contributions from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and the public, and obstructed the Federal investigation that led to the indictment of Hillary Clinton's finance director David Rosen.


Peter Paul's contributions to Democratic campaigns included the following:



1. After discussing with Peter Paul how he might best form a business arrangement with Bill Clinton, DNC Chair Ed Rendell persuaded Paul to commit $150,000 in Stan Lee Media stock to the DNC for Al Gore's presidential campaign. This contribution was made directly through Rendell, and was never reported to the FEC as a Memorandum Contribution as required by law.


2. Paul also agreed to underwrite and produce Al Gore's first major Hollywood fundraiser, which was held at the Beverly Hills Hotel on June 8, 2000 and attended by some 200 people. Ed Rendell attended with Gore, but the DNC never reported the "in kind" contribution made by Paul in paying all the expenses for the event to the FEC as required by law. [See the invitation]


3. Under the direction of DNC Regional Chair Stephanie Berger, Peter Paul made $150,000 in improvements to his house between May and June, 2000, in preparation for Paul and his business partner Stan Lee to host a DNC fundraiser that featured President Clinton and included a Clinton sleepover at Paul's house.


4. Encouraged by Rendell and DNC Chair Terry McAuliffe, Paul also made a commitment to donate $150,000 in Stan Lee Media stock to Hillary Clinton’s Senate campaign in order to host a VIP luncheon fund raiser for Hillary at Spago Restaurant on June 9, 2000. The event raised more than $20,000 in "hard money" for the campaign, including $2,000 from Paul's wife that has never been reported or returned. No Memorandum Contribution report of his commitment or any report of Paul's "in-kind" contribution of expenses for the luncheon fundraiser were ever filed with the FEC by Hillary's campaign.


5. Under the direction of DNC Regional Chair Stephanie Berger, Paul also underwrote the Gershman Tea Fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in Bel Air on June 9, 2000, an event attended by Hillary and her "friend" Susie Buell Thompson, Larry King, Melanie Griffith, Olivia Newton John, Morgan Fairchild, Sean Young, and many other celebrities. No report of Paul's "in-kind" contribution of expenses for the tea fund raiser were ever filed with the FEC by the DNC or Hillary's campaign.


6. With the encouragement of President Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Ed Rendell, Terrence McAuliffe, and Harold Ickes -- all of whom attended the event, Peter Paul produced and underwrote the Hollywood Gala Farewell to President Clinton fundraiser for Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign.


7. Rendell, Bill and Hillary Clinton persuaded Paul not to publicly contradict false statements that Hillary's Senate campaign made to the media regarding Paul's relationship with Hillary, Bill and the campaign. Rendell called Paul twice, on August 15 and 17, after stories in the Washington Post quoted a Hillary spokesman misrepresenting Paul's role in the campaign and the contributions he made in three separate fundraisers. Both Clintons wrote glowing personal letters to Paul on August 18, two days after permitting their spokesman to disparage Paul in the Post, as a message to Paul to go along with their deceptions in order to preserve his multi-million dollar investment in their relationship. [See Hillary letter, Bill letter]


8. DNC officials laundered Stan Lee's $100,000 contribution to Hillary’s campaign through the NY Senate 2000 Committee so that Hillary could pay the down payment to Gala concert producer Gary Smith. Stan Lee testified under oath in a deposition in February, 2005 that he never intended to make any contribution to the NY Senate 2000 Committee or Hillary's campaign, he merely borrowed $100,000 for that purpose from Stan Lee Media at Peter Paul's request on July 28, 2000, and that when the loan was due to be paid in November, 2000 to Stan Lee Media, Stan Lee made the payment by trading checks for $100,000 with Paul, normally a serious violation of election laws.


9. Rendell and Clinton staffers continued working through October to keep Paul "on the reservation" until after the election. They failed to show Paul the campaign's fraudulent October 15 report to the FEC, which hid Paul as Hillary's largest contributor, and avoided asking Paul for any accounting or designation of his donative intent. By so doing, they conspired to have Paul aid and abet their fraudulent FEC report.


10. Starting on August 15, 2000, Hillary Clinton led a coverup of her own actions, those of President Clinton, and those of DNC leaders regarding the contributions of Peter Paul. The Clintons induced Paul to aid and abet Hillary's false statements to the media and the FEC, and caused three false reports to be filed with the FEC that intentionally hid the identity of her largest contributor and the true amount of his contributions. Even after being served with a civil suit, a demand letter, an FEC complaint, the publication of syndicated news columns by Robert Novak, and an ABC 20/20 expose detailing Paul's allegations, Hillary, her campaign Treasurer Grossman, and her lawyer David Kendall all continued the coverup by causing a third fraudulent report to be filed on July 30, 2001. This false report was filed in direct response to a specific FEC inquiry regarding the accounting of the Hollywood Gala.



Since that time, Hillary has deflected any accountability from herself, Bill Clinton and her Finance Treasurer, Andrew Grossman, by misleading Federal Investigators during the investigation that led to the indictment of David Rosen. Ed Rendell, now the Governor of Pennsylvania, has misrepresented his role in these events to the media. Terry McAuliffe misrepresented his own actions to Justice Department officials to whom Paul had detailed McAuliffe's role. The Rosen jury ruled that David Rosen was not culpable for the fraudulent FEC reports filed by Hillary Clinton's campaign, because he had no legal duty to make any reports and in fact did not sign any reports to the FEC. This decision in no way alters the uncontested fact that three FEC reports made by Hillary's 2000 Senate campaign were in fact fraudulent. They remain uncorrected, and the illegal contribution omitted from those reports of more than $1.2 million, according to the FBI, has not been refunded as required by law.


Further investigation by the Justice Department and the Senate Ethics Committee is required to determine the full extent to which Hillary's campaign and DNC leaders may have misled federal investigators and obstructed justice.

conniption fit

NOUN: Informal. An angry outburst: fit2, huff, passion, tantrum, temper. Informal : conniption. See FEELINGS.

Delay has made 2 serious mistakes today. He didn't dance on the roof of his SUV as innocent people do, and, he isn't wearing a cross in his photo to ward off bloodsucking Demonrats.

when the Dems are routinely being indicted and convicted

They are?? Mostly I see them either getting off with a slap on the writst ala Bergler, or not even being confronted with their criminality. The St. Louis RAT being indicted is a good start, but there are many more who deserve the same treatment and probably won't get it.

A terrible message is being sent to the children of this country. That you can get off scott free if you are a liberal.

He's 58? He looks a lot younger in that photo

He sure does! I hope I look that good when I reach that age.

He looks happy, too. Not too worried....

I loved when he came out swinging the day the indictments were announced. Go Tom!

Annie Leibovitz could not have taken a better picture.
The next time a Ford model needs some headshots, they should go to the Harris County Sheriff's Dept.
This may be the most flattering mug shot ever taken and can only enhance DeLay's image.
