Peter Paul is back in the United States. If you don't know who is is, read this from Newsmax on September 7th, and then read on to find out how YOU can help finish off the Clinton's once and for all:
___________________________________________________
The Bush administration has quietly done an about-face on allegations that New York Sen. Hillary Clinton broke campaign finance laws in 2000 - with the Justice Department preparing to extradite one-time Clinton fund-raiser Peter Paul to the U.S. as part of a plea deal for his testimony.
Facing charges of stock fraud in the U.S. himself, Paul told reporters in 2001 that Sen. Clinton failed to report $2 million in in-kind contributions to her 2000 Senate campaign - expenses he incurred producing a gala August 2000 fundraiser-tribute to Bill and Hillary in Los Angeles.
Upon his indictment in June 2001 Paul fled to Brazil, where he was promptly arrested by local law enforcement. He has languished in jail there ever since, trying through his lawyers at Judicial Watch to arrange a plea bargain in exchange for his testimony against the New York Democrat.
In a troubling development, Paul was relocated last month to Brazil's maximum-security state penitentiary in Brasilia, where he was placed in the infamous Block F, also known as the "Corridor of Death."
Judicial Watch complained to the Justice Department last week that Paul's life was now in danger. The group's president, Tom Fitton, warned that 16 prisoners have been killed in Block F in the last year alone and that Americans are not very popular among Brazil's most hardened inmates.
"He's already been threatened," Fitton told the New York Post on Sunday.
"It's a mystery why Paul remained in a Brazil jail even after that country's Supreme Court decided he should be extradited last December," the paper noted. "After that, Fitton says he continually pressured officials at the U.S. Embassy to fetch Paul, but they told him they needed 'official' notice from the Brazilian foreign minister before they could do so."
When official notice finally came in mid-August, however, authorities didn't release Paul. Instead he was transferred to the Brasilia lockup while U.S. authorities declined yet again to intercede on his behalf.
But now, apparently fearing a repeat of what happened to key to Whitewater witness James McDougal, the Bush Justice Department has turned on a dime.
McDougal's testimony was to be the basis for an indictment of Mrs. Clinton in 1998. But he died in prison after guards confiscated his heart medication and threw him into solitary confinement, where he suffred cardiac arrest.
The sudden action on Paul's case comes just weeks after reports surfaced that former Hollywood fund-raiser Aaron Tonken has supplied damaging testimony about Hillary Clinton's fund-raising practices.
"I'm a star witness against President and Mrs. Clinton," Tonken claimed in a recent report on his case in Vanity Fair magazine, explaining that prosecutors wanted his testimony about" "fundraising activities that I've done on behalf of the Clintons."
The exact nature of Tonken's allegations against Sen. Clinton remains secret, the magazine said. But the celebrity moneyman is known to have been involved in the August 2000 fund raiser that is at the heart of Peter Paul's allegations.
Paul's extradition to the U.S. is set for Sept. 12 - "if he lives that long," says the Post.
___________________________________________________
Well, he lived that long, and now he is back in the USA.
EVERYONE call Judicial Watch (I already have), and tell them to get on this one immediately! The more people who call, the more pressure, the quicker and more effectively they will act.
The CORRECT number (not the number you find on their site) is:
202-646-5172
That is not the contribution number, it is their actual Washington office number. Again, it is:
202-646-5172
Call them and tell them:
1) To put out a more detailed press release
2) To hop to it and start proceeding with the rest of the case
3) To look for bookings on major news shows (I bet O'Reilly would be up for this one -- he HATES Hillary)
202-646-5172
The faster we do this, the faster we get rid of Hillary. Now, I know that there are doubters who will no doubt post doom-and-gloom replies about how it is not worth bothering and how CLinton will somehow manage to slide, but that is absolute defeatist nonesense not becomeing FR members.
If we don't act at all, we can be assured that nothing will be done. Inaction is not an option. Call now!
The Queen of evil can arrange anything.
Definitely. Maybe if we can get Yahoo!, CNN.com, ABC News, and FoxNews.com on board...
2) A full-page ad for the site in a NY Paper.
Preferably the Times, I would think.
3) Frequent papering (flyers) in Manhattan
Wouldn't that get you a huge litter fine?
Right you are. When in prison, they knew he had a heart condition but withheld his heart medicine. It worked. He never testified against you know who.
Shouldn't your headline read "CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT HOW!" ?

Gee, what a suprise as 2004 comes closer and closer. How this woman can ever be CONSIDERED is something I`ll never understand in a million years, but on the other hand, when it comes to liberals, corruption and criminal activity is never an issue is it? If they thought they had a chance at the white house with Charles manson, they`d be promoting him all over the place as well. Hey, I live in New york and when this bitch was running for Senator you wouldn`t beleive the crap she was pulling. My father is a retired NYC cop who was almost killed by one of 130 bombs the FALN decided to set off in the late `70`s and early `80`s, and we couldn`t believe the GALL of this psychotic (she is) to come into this state and have her rapist husband pardon them to buy votes!! You want to see pissed off, you should have seen my father! ho ho ho!! This guy below is a guy he use to work with. You don`t even want to know what this guy thinks of Hillary! And by the way, if you`ll remember, these FALN mutts never even asked to be pardoned, and when they refused to renounce violence, guess what? He pardoned them ANYWAY! How nice!
STATEMENT OF DETECTIVE ROCCO PASCERELLA BEFORE THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY HEARING ON FALN CLEMENCY
SEPTEMBER 15, 1999
Good Morning Senators. My name is Rocco Pascarella. On December 31, 1982, I was a police officer assigned to security at Police Headquarters in New York City. I had joined the force at age 21, and in my 13 years on the New York City Police force I had worked in various precincts and assignments. About two weeks prior to December 31, 1982 I had been assigned to the Police Headquarters security detail. On what should have been a festive evening, FALN terrorists were at work in New York City. It was 9:30 p.m. when my colleagues and I heard a tremendous explosion. At first we thought it was fireworks. But soon after, we were told a bomb had exploded at 26 federal plaza which is two blocks from police headquarters. I was directed by my seargent to search the perimeter of the headquarters building for anything suspicious that might be a bomb. As I approached the rear unused entrance to the building I noticed a lot of debris. As I turned to search , the bomb went off. The blast that shattered my life that night was the work of the FALN. This notorious group of terrorists had been planting bombs for some time--ostensibly to secure Puerto Rican independence. But their criminal activity was not limited to indiscriminate bombing. It also included apolitical crimes such as weapons possession and robbery. That I or my colleagues was not killed that night is a fortunate coincidence. FALN bombs were placed at locations where it was likely that innocent people would be killed or injured. I suffered the loss of one leg below the knee, severe scarring of my other leg, the loss of hearing in one ear, and the loss of my eyesight to the extent that I am no longer able to drive. I was in the hospital for two months. I underwent six operations for my leg and ears and received over 40 stitches to my face, ears and mouth. I spent a year going through rehabilitation to learn to walk again with myartificiall leg and injured right leg. Because of my injuries I have been unable to return to active duty in the police force. I am on an extended medical leave. The pain and trauma of these disabling injuries were multiplied by the suffering it caused my family: My parents, my daughter, my friends and my colleagues in the New York City Police Department. When you consider all the other whose lives were devastated during the FALN onslaught, the grief and suffering grows exponentially. Seventeen year later, the insidious cancer that is the FALN again ulcerates American life. Forces have been at work to position these criminals for presidential clemency. Under ordinary circumstances the prospect of their release would be laughable. What could motivate any president to grant a request with the blood of American citizens? Perhaps everyone in this room, and everyone in America, should review these cases: They read the United States vs. The defendants, or the State of New York vs. The defendants. Roc Pascarella did not prosecute these cases. You did. The people did. And when its done, and just sentences are imposed they should be made to stand, particularly in cases of terrorism. Because when terrorists strike, they are not just maiming me, they are striking at the very foundation of America. Our very freedom makes us particularly vulnerable to the demented minions of terrorists all over the world. In the press, their supporters describe these FALN terrorists as freedom fighters and political prisoners. That characterization is an abomination. The basis of American Democracy is dialogue and compromise within the political process. Democrats and Republicans do not butcher each other in the streets of Washington, or punctuate their rhetoric with bombs and bullets. The indiscriminate killing and maiming of innocent people to make a political statement is an attack on the American political system and should be dealt with accordingly. Nor do these misfits, as some would imply, represent the goals and ideas of Puerto Rican people, who have democratically rejected Puerto Rican independence, and morally rejected slaughter as a means to a political end. In this very forum the clamor is heard for more severe sentences for hate crimes. What greater hate than to kill, not because of some demented distaste for another race or ethnic group, but to kill anyone; man, women, or child to make a merely political statement? And finally, what kind of message does this exercise of clemency send to the worlds terrorists? The United States military is sent halfway around the world to destroy a terrorists camp in a foreign nation, while at home, a wile a group of criminal terrorists as exists anywhere in the world is released upon the strength of a hard wrought promise never to engage in violence again. A release, it appears, that is contrary to the recommendations and warnings of every federal agency involved in the investigation, apprehension, trial and incarceration of this group. You, as elected representatives and as citizens of this nation, have a responsibility to the American people to expose the circumstances and the motivation which led to this assault on the American political system and the American justice system. You owe it to yourselves. You owe it to your constituents. You owe it to me. And you owe it to past and future victims of FALN murder and terror. Thank you.
the Don and Terry Adam's (Freepers) case I think proves once and for all that Judicial Watch is a sham ..... Klayman and Co. give lawyers a bad name
Have they ever won anything other than our donations?
I have heard that also Lt. Commander Jack Daily suffered more under Judicial Watch than under Russian lasers
I hope someone does an investigative piece exposing these opportunistic headline / ambulance / donation chasers for what they are
Inept frauds who take advantage of people who have been beaten by the lib-dem machine only to be taken advantage of by these hucksters
I think their purpose is to capture the confidence of people in these positions and keep them distracted with inept lawyering until they have squeezed the life (and every donation dollar) out of themLook at JW's client list and tell me one that does not fit this scenario
Klayman and Co. are like Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton with law degrees.
.
Oh. I thought you were talking about standing on the rooftop of a high-rise on a windy day and tossing the papers to air. My bad. :)
You from Manhattan?
No, but I certainly won't pass up an opportunity to make suggestions/contributions to an anti-Hillary campaign.
