Morris Has More On Pending Hillary Troubles

Dick Morris explains further the potentially deep water that Hillary is in on the campaign finance front. The figure that was siphoned into her campaign is $800,000, not a half-million as I originally reported. The fundraiser organizers, Peter Paul and Aaron Tonkin, insist that Hillary followed every single dime of her campaign fund and thus, must have known about a reporting error that netted her an extra $800,000.

Still, it is David Rosen that currently faces charges on this matter. The question is, will he spill the beans? Morris thinks he will.

If found guilty, he faces a potential sentence of 15 years.

If the feds threaten him with jail — and it's hard to see how they wouldn't —Rosen faces a choice: Tell the truth or go to prison.

Rosen is no long-term Clinton loyalist like Webb Hubbell, nor did he have an affair with a Clinton (as Bill implied to me that Susan McDougal did). And there is no Clinton in the White House to pardon him if he goes to prison.

David Rosen is a young man in his late 30s, with a life ahead of him. He would be a fool to go to jail to protect Hillary.

The Rosen trial starts on May 3. It could get very interesting.
