Hard Cheese, Paul.

Next time wear a flea collar.

I can't see how it is legal for campaign contributions to be linked to emplyment of a husband. The court will not enforce illegal contracts.

Paul told WND that he was assured personally by Clinton on three occasions that the plan to have Clinton work with Paul's company was fine.

Here is one of those occasions. After Howard Wolfson had publicly vowed never to take any money from Peter, here is Bill meeting with Aaron Tonken and Peter in the backbround in late September. Clinton stepped off AF-1 in Los Angeles, and Peter was the first one to greet him. Clinton assured him that everything was fine with their deal.

Ask youself this question. If Hillary is having her official spokesman deny taking any money from Paul because of his past felony record, if they are essentially condemning this bad guy whom they barely know, how can it possibly be explained that Bill meets him as he steps of AF-1 in late September? You don't just get to show up at the airport and have access to the president.

The president is not allowed to make such a contract while he is president. They had a gentleman's agreement. Peter was induced to spend all of the money because he was told Bill would come to work for the company. Rendell and others made promises to induce Peter to spend the money.

Peter did not spend money because he liked Hillary Clinton. It was a business deal. This is a guy who was a Reagan Republican and a big anti-Castro fighter as a young international attorney in Miami.

But it goes well beyond that. Jim Levin, Bill Clinton's "eyes and ears" to check out the legitimacy of Peter's company, acted as Clinton's agent. Levin gained proprietary information in SLM offices and used that proprietary information to make his deal for himself and Bill with Peter's Japanese partner. Oto had promised an additional $5 million to SLM. The deal with Levin, on Clinton's behalf, was recorded in Illinois within two weeks of the November election. When Oto's money did not go to SLM as promised, SLM's stock failed. Clinton essentially interfered with Paul's partner, the infusion of the necessary cash, and caused the company to go down. That is the heart of what was done here.

I know you are on top of this thing.

What is your impression of Peter Paul?

Is he just another shady character in Slick's cast of shady characters?

Each using the other to their benefit and to line their pockets.

At least P.P. doesn't seem to have done anything illegal that he could get him jail time like so many other of Slick's friends and aquaintanences.

Slick just cost him millions and stole his business.

I've seen documentaries of one snake eating another snake.

So, your attitude is tough luck for Paul, and you really don't care that he may be the one roadblock that can keep Hillary from the presidency?

Peter does have serious legal issues. He did time in the late 1970s for a covert operation that relieved Fidel Castro of $8.7 million. Unfortunately, Carter was the president. Instead of a Medal of Freedom, he got a jail sentence.

When Clinton's actions caused the stock to collapse, Peter was buying small amounts of stock at the end of the day above the bid price (I think that's what it's called) in an effort to keep up the price of the stock and save the company. That was against the law, and he made a deal to plead guilty. He is still facing some possible additional jail time. His stock broker, the expert in such matters, who should have told him what he was doing was a violation of the law, will not do jail time.

[DustyMoment]

Not exactly. My attitude is that Paul, apparently a Hillary supporter, is reaping his reward from Hillary - the way she "rewards" a lot of people who try to help her win the WH. At least he hasn't committed Arkancide yet.

I think Hillary will keep herself from the presidency due to any number of factors ranging from personal, to professional, to her high sleaze factor and her carpet bagging history. She is growing as unpalatable to Dems as she is to conservatives.

If Peter Paul wants to dump his money down a rat hole (Hillary) that's certainly his business, but I don't think being stung by her should be either a surprise or the grounds for special treatment.

As many businessman do, Peter put politics aside for business. Peter was trying to build a global company with Stan Lee, the creator of superheroes. Clinton would have been able to raise huge sums of money is Asia and Europe by speaking for the company. The stockholders of his company would have reaped huge rewards. As much as we loathe Clinton, if you have a responsibility to stockholders, you put their economic interests first.

Peter and I have spoken virtually every day for over a year and a half. I flew to North Carolina last year and met him and his family. He readily admits his flaws and owns up to things he has done in his life. The Clintons contributed to ruining his company and doing unimaginable damage to his family. He is an ally in our fight against Hillary.

[doug from upland]

Hillary thanks you for contributing your thoughts on this thread.

[doug from upland]

For those who have not paid attention, Peter was not a Hillary supporter. The only way, however, to get a former president to make money for your stockholders was to support her campaign. That was the price. As a businessman, he paid the price. He spent his own money to do it, not the company's.
