Now that crack Chicago US Attorney Fitzgerald has distinguished himself in the Plame investigation by indicting Vice President Cheney’s Chief of Staff for false statements and obstruction of his investigation, why not demand a similar investigation of the Hillary/Bill Clinton/Ed Rendell cooperation with federal investigators in the Clinton Senate election fraud prosecution of Hillary finance director David Rosen?
I agree it is important to determine if arcane laws dealing with exposing CIA operatives are intentionally violated by government officials, and that those officials cooperate truthfully with any federal investigation into that issue.
However, I think it is at least as important to determine whether the leadership of one of America’s two major political parties played personal roles in inducing, covering up and then misleading the federal investigation into, a multi million dollar contribution to the 2000 campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Al Gore.
When my whistle blowing law suit against the Clintons, David Rosen, et al resulted in the indictment and trial of Rosen, as Hillary’s finance director, for three counts of filing false FEC reports hiding my $1.2 million plus contribution to Hillary’s campaign,Assistant Attorney General Christopher Wray said that “The Clintons had cooperated fully with this investigation.”
Unlike US Attorney Fitzgerald, who readily confirmed at a press conference that he had questioned the President and Vice President about the CIA leak affair, Mr Wray was unwilling to confirm how the Clintons actually cooperated in his investigation. Citing “investigatorial confidentiality”, Wray refused to disclose whether the Clintons had been questioned by investigators or testified before the grand jury that indicted Rosen.
Americans should rightly ask, “Why are the Clintons covered by some confidentiality in disclosing how they cooperate with a federal investigation while the President and Vice President of the US have no such protection?”
Many questions were raised by the indictment, trial and acquittal of David Rosen, a low level functionary in the Clinton Senatorial campaign with no legal duty to make any reports to the FEC, who in fact made no reports to the FEC. Because he was charged, nonetheless, with being solely responsible for reports filed by his superiors, and his jurors commented that he could not have committed these crimes “all by himself”, an impartial prosecutor with the same zeal and sense of prosecutorial duty that garnered Fitzgerald so much respect, should now be appointed to review this incomplete criminal investigation.
The corroborated evidence presented by the Government in the Rosen trial confirms that three fraudulent FEC reports were made by Hillary Clinton’s campaign treasurer to hide the identity and amount of more than $1.2 million contributed by one contributor. The record shows that Hillary Clinton deceived the public, with the help of DNC Chair Ed Rendell and then President Bill Clinton, regarding that contribution before the election, in the Washington Post and in one false FEC report, and after the election, in two more false FEC reports. Hillary Clinton, her campaign treasurer, her lawyer David Kendall and Bill Clinton were all put on notice, in June and early July, 2001, by the donor himself, that two false FEC reports had been filed about his contributions, yet they all aided and abetted the filing of a third fraudulent report to the FEC on July 30, 2001.
This scandal, unlike the investigation into an old statute regarding disclosure of secret government operatives, deals with a fundamental attack, by our political leaders themselves, on the fairness of our federal elections. A Democrat President, Chairman of the DNC and leading Senator joined together in a scheme to violate the original intent of campaign laws to educate the voter on who supports a candidate and how much they contribute. The evidence clearly demonstrates that the Clinton hierarchy of the Democratic Party conspired together to induce, and then coerce, a multi million dollar contribution to their campaigns that they agreed to hide from the public and the government, and then they tried to lay the blame on a low level campaign functionary through misleading the federal investigators that caused an unsuccessful criminal trial of that “fall guy”.
Shouldn’t the American people demand that if the Justice Department will not fully investigate either the underlying crimes committed by a President, Senator and Chairman of the DNC, or their roles in misleading the investigation into those crimes, then a Special Prosecutor must be appointed to protect the integrity of our electoral system, the bedrock of our democratic government. This might prove to be even be more important to protecting the American people than the Plame Special Prosecution.
(That, and the lack of courage from our side)
I will burn incense and pray for just that.
"Almighty God of Truth and Justice, hear my prayer..."
Bush is trying to be on the high moral road and making a major mistake.
Republicans don't use Viagra?
It just wouldn't work. Remember her senate campaign? Her opponent got too close to her and was accused of getting into her space? The media's complicity with her would mean that she would be made into a martyr. And the Clinton's know so well how to use and abuse the media's love affair with them.
It would be nice if this Paul guy wasn't such a sleaze.
Welcome to FR. It would be nice if you knew his full story and if you actually knew him.
Because she knows how to lie to a grand jury.
Like a lot of people, I've been wondering why there hasn't been a full-scale investigation into this. Seems like where there is a lot of smoke, there just may be a fire. If there isn't anything to it, just clear the air and move forward, but if there is something to it,(and I think there might be), let it all come out and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law, and get Hillery a few new recipes for chocalate chip cookies as I think she might need them for where she is going to go.
Definitely would be good payback for the Support ole billy gave Bush yesterday.
Under ordinary circumstances you wouldn't need a special prosecutor to investigate someone outside the White House. However,because of the extraordinary and unprecedented situation of the hierarchy of the opposition party being accused of conspiring to violate campaign finance laws and obstruct the federal investigation into that vioilation, in order to avoid the appearance of partisanship in the prosecution of these charges, a special prosecutor would be the only one who could legitimately prosecute this case.
If anyone from the Bush Administration sought to indict and publicly try together the Chairman, a President and a Senator from the opposition party, it would be politically untenable. Only a neutral, apolitical and respected independent prosecutor could enforce the law in this case. that agrument would be understood by everyone.
If nothing is done, and no effort is made to hold political leaders accountable because they are political leaders, then we have confirmed to them that they are above the law, and immune from any prosecution no matter what they do.
I will be filing a new complaint against the DNC and its former two chairmen, at the suggestion of the FEC itself, for their role in this affair, as the FEC has admitted it has not investigated it based on my original complaint against the Clintons, which is still open as an investigation.
In response to the sleaze characterization by the media intended to discredit me so that the irrefutable facts I expose about the Clintons and DNC hierarchy can be ignored, please note the following:
1. My felony convictions from the 1970's were all related to my anti-Castro/anti-Communist activities while a leading international lawyer and developer of World Trade Centers.
2. My standing with conservatives was enhanced because of those activities, as demonstrated by their support for me and my new activities when I relocated to California in 1986 and was embraced by Ronald Reagan's Kitchen Cabinet.(Henry Salvatori, ernie Hahn, Holmes Tuttle financed Constitution Bicentennial Foundation I presided over in Los Angeles)
3. I worked with, or my activities were personally endorsed by, Chief Justice of the United States Warren Burger, President Reagan after he left the White House, President Bush 41, the President of Poland, President Yeltsin of Russia and the Ambassadors from the People's Republic of China. I also worked with Paul Weyrich and Free Congress foundation in the early 1990s.
All the characterizations of me in the media such as Forbes, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, People etc, pre February, 2001, (BEFORE I became a whistleblower), were full of accolades and recognition of various accomplishments. The forces arrayed against me when my public company joined 300 other dot coms in closing in December, 2000, turned logic on its head when i was accused of destroying the public company that my family held more than $50 million in stock in when it collapsed. I lost more than any other single shareholder, and made no profit from the Stan Lee Media stock when all the dust settled.
Stay tuned to other news that will vindicate me.
Are you Peter F. Paul?

Peter Paul indictment
The indictment referred to the actions of my codefendants who acted on their own to enrich themselves on stock i owned that they took control over. They were all employees with modest salaries and they each embezzled over $1 million from me through some of the transactions described, when I had a net worth of more than $70 million.
My only motive all along was to protect my stock and my company from short sellers and insders that were exploiting weaknesses in the market and the company. I paid almost $2 million at Bill's request in order to benefit the company and its shareholders from the "rain making" services of an ex-President to be provided when he left the White House to help me build my global company. I did everything I could to keep the company afloat until January 21, 2001.
Clinton and his intermediary,Jim Levin,(both defendants in my civil suit for business fraud) who testified at the Rosen trial that he was Clinton's "eyes and ears" in dealing with me on Clinton's behalf, deprived my company of a $7 million dollar investment scheduled for November, 2000. They both interfered with my Japanese partner, Tendo Oto, and induced him to form an American subsidiary of his Japanese company with Levin and Clinton in Chicago, making Levin the managing director,in November 2000. Clinton met with Oto in the White House at Clinton's last state dinner I had him invited to in late September, 2000, and convinced Oto not to invest the $7 million with me but to go into business with Clinon and Levin. After Clinton sent Levin to japan secretly in October, 2000, Oto ended up doing just that. He suddenly renegged on his promise to make the $7 million investment he promised in November, and the sudden loss of the $7 million left my company cash poor in a hostile market surrounded by collpasing dot coms in late November, 2000.
I did everything possible, including investing another $1.4 million of my funds into the company in October-November, 2000, to keep it afloat, but was not successful because of the agendas of those around me who profited from my destruction.
Here are the articles of incorporation as filed by Jim Levin with the backing of Clinton. Levin's business experience dealt with running his parnets' fence company in Skokie, Illinois and owning a strip club in Chicago that invented the lap dance. Based on this business acumen he became the managing director of the US subsidiary for the largest Japanese manga, internet animation company.And Levin is now in jail. He also gave a million bucks to the Clinton Lie-brary.
