A Clinton Fund-Raising Group Is Fined for Understating Gifts [Peter Paul]

A fund-raising committee for Senator Clinton's 2000 campaign has agreed to pay a $35,000 civil penalty and to concede that reports it made to the federal government understated by more than $700,000 donations to a California celebrity gala held to benefit her Senate bid.

The agreement between the committee, New York Senate 2000, and the Federal Election Commission ends the campaign finance regulation agency's inquiry into a complaint filed in 2001 by an entrepreneur who financed the fund-raising concert, Peter Paul.

"by more than $700,000"

Yeah, I'd say $2 MILLION is "more than $700K!

[OXENinFLA]

Here's a good line form the story....

"New York Senate 2000 was set up by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and Mrs. Clinton's campaign to hold events where donations could be made in excess of the $2,000 a person limit under federal law at the time. The donations and the expenses for each fund-raiser were split between the Clinton campaign and the Democratic Committee.

But it does not end the civil suit Mr. Paul has against the beast and clinochhio over this matter.

Note how the BI+CH gets to WALK!

The conciliation agreement, approved at a Federal Election Commission meeting last month, has not yet been made public.

I beg to differ.

What was it that Nancy Pelosi said about corruption?

[Leo Carpathian]

Shhhh, they are busy nailing republicans. Yea, RATs get slapped here and there for major scandals (they are for working people) but they have to impeach whole republican machinery.
Why is Rathergate forger of signature on "official" document incognito? Why is BJ screwing (not "oraled" by) Monica not investigated? The scale is way out of balance.

[mewzilla]

Understated?

Gee, in my neck of the woods we call that LYING.

And if it's done under oath, we call that PERJURY.
