True enough....it's just that for the past decade of greed, the democrats have been all but exempt from the laws that they themselves have passed for us little people. I also enjoy seeing Hillary's! association with this criminal being trumpeted.

Federal guidelines called for a sentence of 18 to 24 months but Adler and his lawyer, Murray Richman, pleaded with Brieant to consider Adler's remorse, his charitable work, the scores of letters written for him, his ailing mother and his wife and five young children.

What, no cat in need of an operation or a family farm about to be forclosed upon?

Adler also admitted understating his income for 1996 and 1997 by more than $200,000.

He should reimburse the taxpayers for court costs and his prison room and board.

Bless Fox News. Don't expect other media to highlight the Hillary relationship. If you go to the source it is in bold!

"Paul Adler,43,a former chairman of the Rockland County Democratic Party was party chairman from 1996 until his arrest in 2000".

Good!Another Leftist Manipulator (you can't be a friend of the Clintonoids w/out being a Professional Manipulator/Liar) goes to Jail.I wonder how Rockland County voted for the Hildebeast. I'll have to find that.

I'm delighted Mr. Adler got the gong. But this sorry little tale sure points out that the minnows end up in the frying pan while the big sharks like Hillary slip out of the net unscathed.

Looks like Adler took the fall for the Hildebeast.
The whole thing smells like a Senate "clinton-impeachment-like back room deal.

Commuted sentences being probed

By Michael Grunwald and Christine Haughney, The Washington Post

NEW YORK -- Federal prosecutors are investigating whether former President Bill Clinton commuted the fraud sentences of four Hasidic Jewish leaders from New York as payback for their community's support for his wife's Senate campaign, a law enforcement source said yesterday.

The four leaders of the tight-knit New Square community in suburban Rockland County were convicted in 1999 of stealing more than $30 million in government funds, and received prison sentences ranging from 2½ to 6½ years. During his last-minute pardons and commutations before leaving office, Clinton reduced their sentences to 24 to 30 months.

New Square residents voted almost unanimously for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., last November, while nearby Hasidic communities voted just as overwhelmingly for her opponent, former Rep. Rick Lazio, R-N.Y. Six weeks after the election, the Clintons held a 45-minute meeting at the White House with the leader of the ultra-orthodox New Square community, Grand Rabbi David Twersky, who lobbied for clemency for the four men.

The Clintons have spent the last month dealing with pardon-related headaches, and the new senator held a news conference Thursday to denounce her brother, Hugh Rodham, for accepting $400,000 in payments from two pardoned felons. The decision of U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White to expand her newly opened probe of the Marc Rich pardon to include the New Square case is more bad news for the newly minted senator, whose campaign also benefited from the largess of Rich's ex-wife, Denise Rich. Still, legal experts say, it would be difficult for prosecutors to bring a bribery case, especially given the president's broad constitutional power to pardon.

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton's campaign treasurer held a news conference yesterday morning in Manhattan to defend his role in helping two Arkansas businessmen secure pardons for 18-year-old tax convictions. Earlier this week, White's office secured a guilty plea on unrelated corruption and tax-fraud charges from former Rockland County Democratic leader Paul Adler, a former fund-raiser for Clinton who occasionally advised her on Jewish issues and accompanied her on a campaign trip to New Square last August.

Adler's lawyer said his client is not cooperating with the government on the New Square matter.

Congressional investigations of the pardons also widened yesterday. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa.., expanded his Senate Judiciary Committee probe to include the commutation of the sentence of cocaine dealer Carlos Vignali and the pardon of convicted swindler Glenn Braswell. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Too bad he didn't rat, he may have avoided jail time. Of course, on the other hand, at least he's not taking a dirt nap.... like a lot of others we know... perhaps he's avoided an Arkancide.
