Actually I expect to see some movement on this in the near future, as the Dems are not keeping their part of the agreement. As we all know, the wheels of Justice turn slowly and contrary to your assertions, this case is still very much in play according to Judicial Watch. Another case to watch is the Mark Jiminez case, which JW is also working on. I look for the same "offer of legal leniency in exchange for his further cooperation". You have to consider too that the DoJ has to be very careful how they proceed with this so that it does not look like merely a political power play.

This report is after the raid:

Negotiations between the Justice Department and Paul, who had fled to Brazil after being indicted on stock fraud charges, are going well enough that he's expected to return to the U.S. in the coming months - a development which could signal a full blown federal probe into his allegations.

And this one was before the raid:

During the past two months, JW client Peter Paul has met with officials from the Justice Department in Brazil to tell all he knows about Senator Clinton's campaign finance scam.

Looks like they are demonstrating interest to me...

From 10/02/02:

(EVOTE.COM) - A jailed ex-fundraiser for Senator Hillary Clinton was quoted this week as saying that he will be "back soon" for his day in court over a fundraiser he once held for the former First Lady.

Jailed Fundraiser Could Be Problem For Mrs. Clinton

Also, just found the following...

A suit alleging that former President Bill Clinton, U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, and two associates conspired to undermine campaign finance laws was properly dismissed by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge on the ground that the plaintiff is a fugitive from justice, the Court of Appeal for this district has ruled.

In an unpublished opinion Tuesday, Div. Two agreed with Judge Aurelio Munoz that the fugitive disentitlement doctrine, which prevents a litigant from using the court system for his or her benefit while avoiding prosecution or imprisonment, applies to Peter F. Paul.

The doctrine has been applied to various types of proceedings initiated by a fugitive, including criminal appeals and writ petitions and civil suits unrelated to the criminal proceedings.

The jurist also rejected the contention that Paul, whose attorneys claim he is cooperating with U.S. authorities, is in the “constructive custody” of the United States. As long as he continues to resist extradition, Nott said, Paul is considered a fugitive.

However, this was a civil case that should not affect the agreement of leniency for cooperation on the criminal case against him.
