"Is anyone really surprised that another Clinton confidante has been indicted?" said Stephen Minarik, referring to the indictment of David Rosen, who served as Hillary Clinton's finance director in her 2000 Senate race.
The New York State Republican Party chairman added: "Hillary Clinton's public life reads like an instruction manual for breaking the rules. New Yorkers deserve better.
The remarks by Minarik are but the opening salvo in a ramping up campaign to frustrate her reelection to the Senate and even nix a potential presidential bid by Clinton in 2008, says a report in the NY Daily News.
Pundits are looking for GOP sappers to use the Rosen indictment to refresh memories of old Clinton scandals like Travelgate and Whitewater.
But University of Virginia political science Prof. Larry Sabato opined that damage control should be easy enough for Clinton:
"She would have to have been involved in some way, or been clearly negligent. And I doubt that that's the case."

Clintonista's Indictment Kept Secret for a Year!
Though Hillary Clinton's former finance chairman David Rosen was actually indicted in 2003, the Bush administration kept it secret till the indictment was unsealed late Friday, a move that spared the former first couple and the Democratic Party significant embarrassment during the height of the 2004 presidential campaign.
"The indictment was handed down more than a year ago," the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.
Citing "sources familiar with the probe," the Times said the Bush Justice Department decided that any criminal charges would not be made public until after last fall's presidential election for fear they would be seen as a politically tainted vendetta by the Bush Administration."
While under secret federal indictment, Rosen was able to continue working for top Democrats throughout the long presidential campaign, eventually joining the campaign staff of Clinton protege, Gen. Wesley Clark, who launched his own presidential bid on the advice of the former first couple.
The decision to keep the politically awkward indictment under wraps allowed Mr. and Mrs. Clinton to assume high profile roles attacking President Bush on the Iraq war, as well as a whole range of domestic issues, without having to answer questions about their role in Rosen's case.
In Sept. 2003, Mrs. Clinton went so far as to accuse the White House of corruption, saying Bush officials had deliberately covered up unhealthy air quality at Ground Zero in the days after the 9/11 attacks.
In a measure of the extraordinary sensitivity with which Bush officials handled the Clinton-related case, the Times said the Rosen probe was "being directed by federal prosecutors with the Public Integrity Section at the Justice Department's headquarters in Washington, who specialize in this type of case."
Although the 10-page indictment does not indicate whether others, including the Clintons, were suspected of wrongdoing, Justice Department spokesman Bryan Sierra told the Times, "All we can say is that there are no additional subjects at this time."
But a key witness in the case has alleged that Hillary Clinton had guilty knowledge of concealed campaign contributions for an Aug. 12, 2000 fundraiser on behalf of her Senate campaign, which formed the basis for Rosen's indictment.
Hollywood producer Peter Paul, who funded the star-studded Los Angeles gala, has claimed that Mrs. Clinton personally negotiated "the largest payment for the event that I underwrote."
Paul and the his lawfirm Judicial Watch have maintained since 2001 that Mrs. Clinton's Senate campaign deliberately undereported nearly $2 million in in-kind contributions he made to cover expenses for the Aug. 2000 event.
Celebrity fundraiser Aaron Tonken, another key figure in the probe, has also suggested that Mrs. Clinton may face legal trouble because of his testimony about work he did for the former first couple.
In a soon-to-be released book that covers his relationship with the Clintons, Tonken says he handed out checks to "certain pols" that were "illegal." And he personally witnessed a "brown bag" stuffed with cash going "someplace it shouldn't."
In 2002 deposition in an unrelated case, Tonken testified: "I'm a star witness against President and Mrs. Clinton. . . . regarding the fundraising activities that I've done on behalf of the Clintons."
The smartest woman in the universe won't know why all her cronies are being indicted. And if any of them point in her direction, she'll be unable to recall or remember.
Vince Foster:
The Case for Suicide
by Zack Nguyen
The official story:
At about 1:00 p.m. on July 20, 1993, Vince Foster left his office for the last time.
He told his secretary that there were some M@M's left in his office if she wanted some. Then, taking his White House pager, he said he was leaving for lunch. He left the White House and, after giving a Secret Service officer a friendly smile and a "Hello", approached his car in the parking lot. The gun that would figure so prominently in Vince Foster's immediate future was perhaps hidden on his person; if that is the case then he merely had to smuggle it into the White House past several metal detectors and Secret Service agents. Perhaps it was left in his car; if that was the case it would have had to survive the once-over by an ammunition sniffing dog (the new FBI director was being sworn in that day, and all the cars in the parking lot were checked). Perhaps Foster drove home to obtain this gun, actually an illegal weapon fashioned from two guns, one of which was 80 years old.
Then Foster drove to some unidentified location and rolled around on a carpet for a while. (Carpet fibers were later found all over his clothing)
Then, suddenly seized with the desire to visit an obscure weed infested park on the other side of town to end his life, he leaves his car and walks down the traffic-ensnarled George Washington expressway (no one noticed him)
Ft. Marcy park is not even listed on Virginia maps. It has no jogging or bicycle trails. Gay lovers often meet there, and the CIA sometimes practices dead-drops there in the early morning hours. Foster surveys the scene, and then either sprouts wings and flies to his intended location, or perhaps skirts the ground like a ballet dancer. However he did it, Foster managed to walk 700 feet across grass and dirt without getting any soil on his shoes.
According to his family he had never visited Ft. Marcy before, but navigated it's paths like a seasoned veteran, finding the tricky and narrow walkway to one of the Civil War cannon. From there he has a beautiful view of the barbed wire surrounding the park and the ambassador to Saudi Arabia's residence in the distance.
Then, sitting down in weeds that come almost to his face, on a slope of rocks and grass, ignoring the mesquitos that were out in full force on the hot July day, attempts to shoot himself in the side of the neck. Finding that this does not seem to do the trick, he jams his thumb into the trigger guard, wraps his fingers around the barrel, stuffs it so far down his throat that he very nearly swallows the gun, and somehow manages to pull the trigger.
The sharp report of the .38 caliber revolver fell on deaf ears - no one in the surrounding area heard anything. Foster's teeth and mouth remained miraculously undamaged, while an astoundingly small amount of gunpowder residue was found in his mouth. The bullet disappeared. Foster's heart stopped instantly - almost no blood was found on the ground or on his body.
This happened sometime before 4:00 P.M. Around 4:30 P.M., witness Patrick Knowlton entered the Park, and has stated repeatedly under extreme pressure that Fosters grey-blue Honda was not in the parking lot of Ft. Marcy. So have witnesses Josie and Duncan, two adulteress lovers that ventured into the park on a tryst.
At this point, Vince Foster comes back to life, remembering that he has forgotten his car. He walks to wherever he parked it, but is forced to hotwire it, because his car keys have mysteriously disappeared (they were not found until Foster's body was safely in the morgue). He then drives back to Ft. Marcy, parks his car, and resumes his position on the grassy slope, being careful to lay his body out perfectly straight and flat.
He then throws the gun away. Confidential Witness 1 discovers the body, notes the lack of a gun, and leaves to phone the authorities. Foster gets up, retrieves the gun, and resumes his position.
The authorities arrive, taking pictures of the body that are all immediately lost or "over-exposed" in the FBI labs. Chelsea Clinton's nanny, Helen Dickey, is informed of the death within the hour, but somehow the White House is not officially informed until 8:30 P.M. Around 8:50 P.M., someone walks into the President's room while his make-up is being applied for "Larry King Live" and explains to him that something was found in Vince Foster's office. The President, however, is apparently not informed of the death until 10:00 P.M.
For the ruling of suicide to be accurate, the farce that I just described above would have to have taken place. The evidence that has accumulated over the last four years doesn't come close to matching the official explanation of Vince Foster's death.
How do we account for these descrepancies?
Even though special prosecutors have concluded suicide, and even though we've seen many Vince Foster stories on the front pages--and more often the back pages--of America's major newspapers, should we feel this case has been sufficiently scrutinized?
Hopefully, the American public will soon demand a more serious, well-publicized inspection of this incredible case.
at that verse.
Watched a rerun of the 1960s "The Manchurian Candidate". Hitlery political personality resemblance to the treasonous character, Mrs. John Iselin played by Angela Lansbury, who sacrifices her son Raymond to further the cause of communism in the US even down to the color of her hair is frightening, and sent a shiver down my spine.
Too bad that so-called "tough" New York media is bought and paid for by the Criminal enterprise known as the Clintonistas.
misc NY ping
Did you notice that the NYTimes didn't cover this story? I mean, there is a reprint of an AP story, but the Times usually is loathe to pull stuff from the wires when they can write their own story their own way. The LA Times... heck, even the NY Post and Newsday threw some reporters at the story, but not the NYT?????
I'm wondering... Didn't the NYTimes have a staff writer to write the story either Friday night or yesterday? Or, did they write a story which didn't make their website?
It's not like there aren't points that Hillary wants to get out. For instance, the indictments started with a person who is accused of stock fraud. And, Rosen's consultancy firm "orchestrated" (LA Times term) an out-of-state fundraiser for the Florida Dems in their effort to beat Jeb
Bush. And, the indictments were handed down a year ago, but only announced on Friday.
The NY Times, in better form, would've scooped the story a year ago, which doubles my interest in why it has received so little attention so far.

| Hillary Clinton's Former Campaign Finance Director is Indicted |
| Daily News |
| Jan. 8--WASHINGTON -- A top aide in Sen. Hillary Clinton's 2000 Senate race was indicted Friday on federal charges of filing false documents that allegedly lowballed costs and hid generous assistance in putting on a star-studded Hollywood gala. The Justice Department alleges that David Ross, Clinton's former campaign finance director, misstated the cost of the fund-raiser to free up more cash for the Democrat's race against former Long Island Republican Rep. Rick Lazio, documents show. Campaign staffers have denied the books were cooked. |
Thanks for the ping!
Course all of the 527 members will have to worry about Arkancide attacks and to stay out of Ft. Marcy Park.
You noticed that too?
Dec. 3, 2003
Aaron Tonken: "I'm a star witness in New York in the grand jury regarding the Marc Rich pardon and regarding the fund-raising activities that I've done on behalf of the Clintons," the well-connected fund-raiser explained.
From a pre-"suicide" visit to Dee Dee Meyers' place, perhaps?
I just checked... I don't think that Salon.com has anything on this story either.
I bet if Ken Starr or Harry Hyde would've been involved...
See it proves the age old saying: "You can't buy class."
A person of class and dignity and just plain manners would have accepted the necklace gracefully but NEVER would have returned it. By the way, if she DID return it...did they refund HER the money?
No they don`t. They insist on this. New Yorkers elected Hitlery even after she put their lives in danger by getting her husband to pardon 17 FALN members who bombed their city 130 times, hey after all it was only 130 times. Last election New Yorkers also voted for democrats in all 52 districts except two on Staten Island, then they complain for paying the highest taxes in the country and complain when yet more corruption is exposed in the city council. And then lets not forget how they held mass protests almost everyday against Guliani when he cleaned up their city, or protests against Bush for trying to protect their city that was attacked twice in less than 7 years by terrorism with the last being 911. The problem is not Hillary, the problem is New Yorkers themselves.
More likely the hit guys rolled him up in a carpet for transport
FYI- Here are a few ources for learning the truth about Hillary:

You must understand that the more we do to keep her on the defensive, the harder it is for her to help candidates like she did recently here in Westchester for example:The Ossining & New Rochelle, New York mayoral candidates and just about any democrat who asks her.... If we keep her busy, she will be worrying more about her ass, than her fellow democrats.
E-mail me at hillarysnightmare@hotmail.com (confidentiality protected) if you wish to work together on this important task.
Hey wait! The NY GOP offices are in the sub-basement of the very building where Hitlery has some floors occupied by myriads of weirdo leftists. The GOP office staff (three guys, lead by Ricky Lazio) also do janitorial services and general repairs but are never allowed on Hitlery's floors. Too much risk of another Whitewater burglary, ya know?
Attention G. Gordon Liddy- where are you friend?
How true.If Rudy runs it might be a contest but I think he is looking towards 2008 and doesn`t want to risk being bloodied.
After that who will the party put up against her.Look at the sacrificial lamb we just had against Schumer.We need to worry about keeping her out of the White House.She will by our Senator for probably as long as she wants. I hate the idea but as a New Yorker have to face the reality.
Just last week they showed Bill opening his office in Harlem.Here is a man that never did one thing for blacks other than paying them lip service.Yet there was Rangel and others carrying on like it was the second coming.This is how the majority in NYC regardless of race view the Clintons.Very hard to counteract the urban vote.
I have wondered where the state gop has been. Minarik and the rest stayed almost silent over the past decade, is it any wonder why the party is suffering.
The state GOP needs to wake up, drink heavily caffeinated coffee and start yelling from the mountain tops. We are falling further and further behind, losing ground when we need to be the Party of reform all over this state.
My site, I am working on something big! click on the Press Release..
He also opined that Kerry would win Ohio and Florida, two states that were never in play. Its time for big media to find anothe political science teacher who sounds good on TV..
>>>It doesn't matter what this woman does she still has a built in 40% of the vote, people who will vote demoRAT no matter what their candidate is guilty of.
With all of the voter fraud finally making it to the public eye...what makes you think Hillary, or any democrat, has 40% of votes?
>>>New Yorkers elected Hitlery
With all the investigations and stories coming out on voter fraud....WHAT makes you think she was elected?
Very nice synopsis!
Yeah, I believe, this happens all the time!
Voter fraud is rampant in big city blue states, instead of controlling the borders, fraud is used .
I was taught this at a very young age. The expression, "nobless oblige" is a concept that the AK trailer trash never learned.
True true, that`s what my brother was saying. More pardons and under the table deals were granted to get Hitlery elected than any other candidate in history, yet you`ll never hear about that. Don`t believe me? Find one person who voted for her, I can`t find anybody. And Al Gore has the gall to say he lost the election because "Bush stole it". No, Gore lost the election because more attention and deals were made on Hitlerys campaign than his. A sociopath who never held an elected office in her life was give precedent over his and he knows it and that`s why he doesn`t talk to them anymore. Hitlery told Bill she wanted payback for his Monica deal or there would be "hell to pay" and little Billy Clinton bowed to his knees pardoning just about every New york criminal linked to every liberal group in that state.
>>>More pardons and under the table deals were granted to get Hitlery elected than any other candidate in history, yet you`ll never hear about that.
Well, we can fix that by being more vocal about it.
We have many threads here at FR about voter fraud.
We have many threads here about the Clintons.
But we DON'T have many threads that raise the question as to how long the voter fraud has been occurring and blatantly raising the questions about the Clinton (s)elections.
The closest I've ever seen that point being made was a few articles briefingly mentioning that the Military write ins were thrown out and not counted.
If we keep the issue alive, more information may come out.
How about the one Jewish community that voted 97% for Hitlery? You ever hear about that one? Three Jews from that community had their prison sentences reduced by Bubba, I think they were doing time for insurance fraud, and Hitlery ended up getting 97% of the votes in the community they were from. I mean that`s the kind of voting percentage someone like Saddam Hussein gets, not some inexperienced idiot lawyer from Arkansas and where are the investigations? It was all completely brushed under the rug.
This column is 4 years old, but it could be adapted a bit at any time to cover any Hitlery-related scandal (which never get enough coverage for my satisfaction. I loathe them both.)

July 18, 2000
Did Hillary Rodham call Paul Fray a “[bleeping] Jew bastard” in 1974? This year’s New York Senate race may hinge on the answer.
Fray, his wife, and another witness insist Hillary said it. Hillary denies it, and she has another witness to vouch for her. Unfortunately, Hillary’s only witness is the most famous perjurer in the United States.
Bill Clinton does allow that Hillary, then his main squeeze, may have called Fray a “bastard,” but she never ever did or would or could have used an ethnic or racial or religious slur, because that would be totally absolutely 100 per cent contrary to her nature. Besides, the first perjurer added with a straight face, the three witnesses against Hillary are lowlife scum who deal in “character assassination.”
The Clintons don’t know when to cut their losses. Their frantic denials have turned a trivial allegation into a red-hot story, bigger than John Rocker. Hillary could easily have deflected it by saying:
“Look, I can’t remember everything I said a quarter of a century ago. I had a foul mouth and a hot temper, so I can’t absolutely deny this. I hope I didn’t say it, but if I did, I’m sorry. I think my subsequent record speaks for itself, and I’m content to be judged by that.”
If Hillary had said this, she would have had common sense on her side for once. Even the Anti-Defamation League might have acknowledged a statute of limitations on a casual slur spoken 26 years ago. But she insisted on uttering an absolute denial, just as Bill absolutely denied having had sex with that woman, thereby raising the stakes and dramatizing the issue of veracity.
In other words, she could have asked to be judged by her total record; instead, she has virtually demanded that she be judged on the disputed 1974 incident, when she can’t prove that her version is true.
The trouble is that the charge is plausible. Hillary is notoriously foul-mouthed and bad-tempered toward her subordinates. Even if she is as prejudice-free as she insists, it’s not hard to imagine an ethnic term slipping into one of her furious imprecations. The fact that Fray is a Baptist, not a Jew (though he has some Jewish ancestry), actually makes his charge more believable: why would a Baptist make up such a story?
The various women who have called Bill Clinton a sexual predator were plausible because they were all describing the same recognizable character. Fray’s story is plausible because his Hillary sounds so much like the coarse and autocratic Hillary so many others have described. Like so many egalitarians from Lenin and Stalin to Mao and Bella Abzug, she is a certified terror to work for.
Notice that the only word in the phrase [bleeping] Jew bastard Hillary and Bill deny is the word Jew. Too many people have heard her use the other two words in anger.
Which raises an interesting point. If someone had accused, say, Mamie Eisenhower of calling a man a “[bleeping] Jew bastard,” the “Jew bastard” part would have been the least of it. The public furor would have been all about [bleeping]. In the old days, first ladies weren’t even supposed to admit they knew such words. But nobody seems to care whether Hillary said “[bleeping]” (though the word remains unprintable in most publications) or to doubt that she said it; nor does she feel bound to deny it or apologize for it.
So one more transgression has been normalized. It’s another little reminder of how much both Clintons have contributed to the coarsening of American life. Harry Truman was thought earthy and, in some quarters, vulgar for saying “hell” and “damn”; liberals who would later defend Bill Clinton accused Richard Nixon of dishonoring the Oval Office with his “expletives deleted.” But the Clintons have inured us to speech and behavior that was once unthinkable.
The much-discussed Clinton “legacy” won’t emerge from the Camp David peace talks, or from some legislative achievement or military triumph. The Clintons’ real legacy lies in an erosion of personal standards of conduct. Their ceaseless scandals are only part of it; perhaps less important, in the long run, than their gross manners.
I think you meant to write AR instead of AK. Get the facts straight. The ex co-president is IL trailer trash. She was a radical before she came here and left as soon as she found greener pastures in NY. Good riddance.
BTTT. Did you write this . . . official release?
Would Sabato just shut up and go away ... he's the genius, a month out from the election, who predicted a Kerry victory.
I heard about that. And I think there were articles posted here by Liz? Snapple? That linked that Jewish group to Torros College.
Google turns up lots of different things he's written , but I've yet to find a home page or any other background info.
Steve Minarick rocks. I know him personally from my old Republican activism days in Rochester.
