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

Posted on 12/07/2006 9:49:11 AM PST by IrishMike

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 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..............

Good old Tru-Link. Used to be a Sox, and I think Cubs, TV sponsor.

I wonder how a door-to-door boy-wonder salesman like Dave Rosen got slimed in all of this.

I know he was acquited, this time. I wonder if he's going to be helping Hillary again in '07-08 or if he's learned his lesson.

I actually talked to Rosen and told him I believe that he never would have been charged had Hillary filed her third report accurately on July 30, 2001. He kept lying his *ss off during the phone call.

There is no bigger "culture of corruption" than that which surrounds the Clintonistas.

The penance the liberal priests would give you would be horribly unfair. (I'm a Roman Catholic).
