Clinton Fund-Raiser Pleads Guilty to Felony Mail Fraud
NY Sun ^ | December 7, 2006 | Josh Gerstein

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.

Levin, who once owned a Chicago strip club, Thee Dollhouse..............

Why the MSM gave Bill a free pass on those pardons is truly the a dereliction of duty on the part of the MSM.

There, now your statement is correct.

"The ClinTOONs have a lot of friends in the deceased column."

I know, and it drives me wild that absolutely no one in the media cares enough to help us rid this nation of these two criminals!! How is this to be explained? Is everyone just flat out afraid of them?

No, everyone in the media is brainwashed into believing their lies.

It's the most charitable thing I can say about them.

It's the most charitable thing you can about them; the media, or the Clintons?

I just find it hard to believe that A-N-Y-O-N-E who two (2) brain cells can possibly really, sincerely believe these two proven liars!! It has to be seer willfulness. Their dirty deeds and their crimes are both so obvious and blatant; not to mention numerous, that it's impossible to look the other way and tell yourself you take them at their words(s). It ludicrous! It's laughable!

Trying to make anything stick to those two is like trying to nail jello to a tree.

The media. The Clintons, well, let's just say I can't repeat what I think of them on a family forum! And what I think of them, I should probably go to Confession for. ;)

The same goes for what I think of the voters who continue to put these two criminals in power!

When you click reply, look at the top box and see the name? Add a ; and then type "dougfromupland" and hit enter. That pings him. Or erase the entire name up there and type in theirs.

Good thing to learn.

Happy FReepin Dr.
