Hillary Might Be In Deep Water This Time

I saw this earlier today but dismissed it as just another crime that the Clinton's would skate on, but now I'm not so sure. It goes back to the indictments against Hillary's former campaign finance chair David Rosen for campaign finance violations. He was accused, in January, of hiding hundreds of thousands of dollars from the FEC.

Now though, Hillary may be directly implicated in this scheme to filter $500,000 directly into her campaign.

Both Tonken and Hollywood mogul Peter Paul - who bankrolled the Clinton gala - say they personally apprised the top Democrat about the costs of the fundraiser.

"I told her about virtually every penny I'd spent on her behalf," Tonken recalled in his recent book "King of Cons."
"I told her about the money and what a pleasure it was to spend it on her [Senate] candidacy."

Mr. Paul says Mrs. Clinton was even involved in trying to trim some of the event's production costs.
"Hillary Clinton personally called the producer of the concert part of this event," he told Fox News Channel's Eric Shawn last November.


"She asked him to lower the fee that he was charging of $850,000 at my request. So I don't understand how she could possibly say that she didn't know" about the costs.

If she knew, that's a felony. Dick Morris said tonight that the only way Hillary is going to get off on this is if Rosen pulls a Web Hubbell, Susan McDougal situation, in which he goes to jail to protect the Clinton's. All in a day's work, serving the Clinto Nostra.

Pat,

I'm pretty sure that the laws don't apply to the Clintons. You might want to look into it but that's always been my understanding.
