Senator Clinton Escapes Lawsuit But May Be Deposed By Fred Lucas CNSNews.com Staff Writer October 17, 2007
(CNSNews.com) - A California court ruled Tuesday that Hillary Clinton will not be a defendant in a fraud lawsuit brought by Hollywood mogul Peter Paul, who claimed the Clintons destroyed his business after he raised millions for her first Senate campaign in 2000.
But she could still be a material witness and be required to testify about what she knew concerning alleged illegal campaign fundraising.
The California Court of Appeals (Second Appellate District) upheld a California Superior Court ruling that the New York senator and leading Democratic candidate for president could avoid the lawsuit because of a state law that protects public figures from frivolous lawsuits.
However, Paul's lawsuit is still in play against the senator's husband, former President Bill Clinton, the Clintons' business associate Jim Levin, and Hollywood producer Gary Smith, who were all involved in a Hollywood fundraiser, orchestrated by Paul, for Sen. Clinton's first Senate run in 2000.
Though the Federal Election Commission (FEC) found wrongdoing and Sen. Clinton's campaign finance chair David Rosen was indicted and later acquitted on charges related to the Paul event, no official investigative agency determined the New York senator had direct knowledge of the wrongdoing.
In April, Paul obtained a videotape that showed the former first lady helping to plan the event, which Paul said would constitute an illegal in-kind contribution. Cybercast News Service first reported the existence of the tape in April.

Ping!..........
“But she could still be a material witness and be required to testify about what she knew concerning alleged illegal campaign fundraising. “
I will save everyone some time and money.
Mrs. Clinton, what do you know about illegal campaign fundraising?”
” I don’t recall. I have no idea. I have no knowledge. I don’t recall, etc...”
Does not Federal Law trump State Law?.......
How's that going to work? She's not the queen...yet.
The Heinous Harridan slips out of the handcuffs once again. Houdini would be proud.
Can anyone explain how she weaseled out of this since it was her fundraider?
Depose the crap out of her Doug. Ask her about the Rose records, Craig Livingston and Foster while you have her on the stand.
Freudian slip, but appropriate.
Wonder if it would have been frivilous in Ohio?
Jeez, I remember that when the Soviets “deposed” a leader, you just never heard from him again... (sigh) those were the days.
There are those who can give the law the finger, and she's one of them.
Deposed - I could care less about.
Disposed...now that’s more interesting.
Badda-bing!
Hillary is part of the Clinton crime family! Untouchable!

My minds in a blender
It’s Jelloooo Jellooo”

If it happens I'll probably die of shock. Why should this be any different than all the other dishonest stuff she does?
Unfortunately, the Demwits won’t realize her true evil until she takes power (again).
Only in the case of Paris Hilton and other celebrities. It seems federal guidelines trump local police for local crimes.
No, I still do not understand how fed guidelines control local jails.
And the march toward a Hillary presidency continues.
