Ernest G. Green, the former civil rights activist who helped integrate an Arkansas high school in 1957 as a member of the "Little Rock Nine," pleaded guilty yesterday to federal charges of misdemeanor tax evasion, the Justice Department said.

Green, a managing director at Lehman Brothers in Washington, was accused by federal prosecutors of failing to declare and pay income taxes on $30,000 he received in 1995 from Charles Yah Lin Trie, a former Democratic fund-raiser, Arkansas restaurant owner and longtime friend of President Clinton.

Trie said the DNC never instructed him on campaign-finance rules, but "appreciated him and never caused him problems because he brought in money." He said he was never questioned about whom he brought to Clinton functions "or why some of them appeared to be foreigners."

Time for some more FOBs at the DNC to answer for their willful ignorance of the flood of Chinese contributions.

Mr. Clinton has said it was "clearly inappropriate" for Mr. Wang to have been included among reception guests, but he had no recollection of meeting him and "nothing inappropriate came from it in terms of any governmental action on my part."

Isn't that classic Clinton? Nothing inappropriate - except for all those Chinese nukes pointed at our heads - came from the Wang/Trie/Green connections. Whew! We all can rest easy now!

Green ... has agreed to cooperate with Justice Department prosecutors in the ongoing campaign-finance probe and to provide "truthful" information.

Dare we hope that information leads to the indictment of a "big fish" in the sordid cesspool that was the Clinton Administration?
