A top fund-raiser for Senator Clinton's 2000 campaign and self-described "dear friend" of President Clinton pleaded guilty to a felony mail fraud charge in federal court in Chicago yesterday.
James Levin, 47, admitted to involvement in a scheme to convince contracting officials at the Chicago Public Schools that his fencing companies, Tru-Link Fence and Tru-Link Commercial, were subcontracting work to businesses owned by minorities or women when, in fact, Levin was simply paying those firms for use of their names.
Levin was a key witness at the criminal trial last year of the national finance director of Mrs. Clinton's 2000 campaign, David Rosen, on charges that he caused the submission of false campaign finance reports about a star-studded fund-raising gala in Los Angeles in August 2000.
Levin told the jury in that case that the then-president assigned him to keep tabs on the hastily planned dinner and concert, which featured Cher, Paul Anka, and other celebrities.
Levin testified that Mr. Rosen knew the event went far over budget and that the finance official said "the costs of this event will never be the costs of this event ... meaning that we will never admit how much we spent on this event."
Mr. Rosen denied knowing of the cost overruns and was acquitted on all charges. A political group connected to Mrs. Clinton's campaign ultimately paid a $35,000 penalty resulting from the misreporting.

or are they naturally drawn to each other
that strip club business mentality is the big clue, isn't it?
Umm, no. The media is fully complicit. - it is the media doing the brainwashing duty for any democrat.
The MSM is little more that the dem's 5th column now, and is also little more than the media in Orwell's 1984. Just FYI, George Orwell's real name was Eric Arthur Blair
LOL!
Hillary is the one to beat. After that they have a bunch of stiffs looking for a hole to fall in, and they are all beatable.
In fact, so is Hillary, but it will be very, very difficult, and we need to go into that fight with our eyes wide open, our resolve undimmed, a clear plan, and our powder dry.
I'm pretty sure what the Clinton's plan is.
I'm not sure about ours.
We knew Hitlery was corrupt. Now here is additional proof.
And for those who say;"but he is a crook so how can he win."
Well, so is she. It's about time she and her husband were taken down and put in jail where they belong. These two really need to be dealt with. They are no different than your average crook. They are not magical; they are crooks. Besides, they have enough stolen money to survive in jail.
And no more free passes for the Clintons.
What post on here are you talking about???????
Just talking about how people around the Clintons get nabbed; but they don't.
