FEC Sued Over Alleged Hillary Campaign Fraud

It's been five months since Hollywood producer Peter Paul filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission against New York Senator Hillary Clinton alleging that she failed to report most of the $2 million he donated to the "Hillary 2000" Senate campaign.

Paul has cancelled checks and other records to back up his claims, including thank you notes from the former first family. Yet the FEC has so far failed to act.

On Friday lawyers for Judicial Watch, which represents Mr. Paul in the case, filed suit against the supposed watchdog agency, pointing out that Paul's complaint is now well past the 120-day statutory deadline within which the FEC is supposed to act.

Meanwhile the Bush Justice Department has instead indicted Paul for alleged stock fraud, underscoring the double standard that continues to allow the Clinton family to escape Justice while most others are held accountable.

"The FEC has abundant evidence that Hillary Clinton and her campaign for Senate engaged in massive election fraud, yet it has not taken any action," said Judicial Watch chairman Larry Klayman. "It is time for the FEC to stop protecting politicians and hold them accountable when they violate the campaign finance laws."

The case has been assigned to Judge Royce Lamberth, who's developed a reputation over the years as one of the few judges in Washington, D.C. interested in enforcing the law for everyone.

I'll repat the question:

Why, oh why, would you believe any lie/excuse/fabrication/statement told by Clinton?

You've attacked JW, and you've attacked NewsMax on nebulous claims about "cancelled checks" - but you haven't explained why Clinton is not guilty of these crimes.

They (both) have been receiving illegal foreign campaign monies from Indonesia and Communist China since their earliest days in Arkansas. (THese were admitted in public hearings by Glenn, and other democrat lackies.) What can you offer that indicates she didn't cheat?

FBI SEIZES DOCUMENTS IN CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION OF HILLARY CLINTON SENATE CAMPAIGN

Storage Facility Raided, Clinton Photographs and Documents Seized

Search Warrant Sought Documents Related to Hillary’s Campaign For Senate, Hollywood Tribute To Bill Clinton, Hillary’s Campaign Finance Director Also Targeted

(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, reported that the FBI seized documents relating to Hillary Clinton’s campaign for the U.S. Senate. The documents were seized in a May 30 raid of a California storage facility containing documents of Peter Paul, the entrepreneur who funded Hillary Clinton’s Senate campaign with over $2 million dollars in direct, in-kind contributions which were never reported by Hillary Clinton or her Senate campaign, as required by law. Mr. Paul's money funded the August, 2000 production of “The Hollywood Gala Farewell Tribute To President Clinton,” which featured many Hollywood stars. Mr. Paul’s support for the event was also publicly denied by Mrs. Clinton in The Washington Post and in a debate with then opponent Rick Lazio. The government is seeking the cooperation of Mr. Paul, who is in a Brazilian prison pursuant to an U.S. extradition request on alleged stock and bank fraud. Mr. Paul has already provided evidence to Justice Department investigators in Brazil about the criminal activity of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Mr. Paul told the Department of Justice about the documents and storage facility ten months ago, and had provided them with documentation (checks, videos, financial statements) of his work for the Clintons in early 2001. Mr. Paul donated the over $2 million to the Clinton campaign as part of a $17 million offer to Bill Clinton to work with him after he left the Oval Office.

The search warrant authorizing the FBI raid of the storage facility specifically references the Clintons and the New York Senate campaign. The search warrant authorizes the seizure of:
Records relating to New York Senate 2000, the Hollywood Gala Salute to President William Jefferson Clinton, the Federal Election Commission, David Rosen and Aaron Tonken...
(David Rosen was the Director of Finance for Hillary Clinton’s Senate campaign, and Aaron Tonken is a Democrat fundraiser who raised money for the Clintons. Both men have knowledge of Mr. Paul’s contributions.)

“Mr. Paul could have turned the documents about the Clintons over to the FBI months ago under a cooperation agreement. Instead, he waits in a Brazilian dungeon for the Ashcroft Justice Department to get serious about this corruption case. So it is a welcome sign that the Justice Department is turning up the heat on this new crime scandal concerning the Clintons,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman.

Attorney General John Ashcroft received 59,535 petitions late last year from Judicial Watch supporters protesting Mr. Paul’s disparate treatment and demanding full justice against the Clintons in this new scandal.
